5" Jumpy screen?
-
Hey there dude, The screen might not run on 5volt. I've used a back up camera screen for my Gameboy Zero project and I had to modify it to run. Can you post a pic of your drive board.
I'm assuming you are running from the composite signal
-
Hello yes a composite signal.
-
Can you post a more brightly lit picture, I can't see where you have soldered your jumper wire. I'm not 100% you've soldered the jumper to right place.
Did you trace it yourself or did you use an online tutorial?
-
Not much light here I will try to do better. I removed the 1509 chip the 8 pin that converts from 12v down to 5v but i had a hard time solderings that small with my hands shaking So i traced it out and a Diode that is connected to that pin i Solder to. I traced it my self and using my multimeter.
-
Ok. It looks similar to the gearbest screen that I've used just some slight variation in layout. But generally the same.
If you take a look at this baord. The 2nd leg on the chip that is highlighted is where I did my 5v conversion.
If your chip code matches that I'd suggest working your way from there, the only other thing I can think is your power supply just ain't hacking it.
-
Hello same chip 8 pin. The power I'm using is 3.7v 5500mah buck boosted to 5v 2a output. I tested the current from the screen and raspberry pi and total came out to 843ma Way under the 2a mark. The battery pack is good. the thing is i tested a few minutes ago the rear view camera while the LCD was on the battery pack and clear clean video. But when going back to the raspberry pi that is when the problems come in.
-
@josephchrzempiec What powerboost are you using might I ask?
-
I'm wondering something If there is some noise on the line it's self that is causing this problem?
-
So what are you using to charge the battery? I'm assuming you have a regulator for battery charging? Because all that is, is a step up converter.
-
@monstermadeofman I have a 5v 4a input is my power supply. to 3.7v 1a output charging module.
-
Might i suggest making this alot easier by putting it all into one module as I feel you are over complicating the entire thing.
This is used quite alot in GBZ builds. It let's you charge and play at the same time. It also has the powerboost built into the board so no need for that.
the other option while alot more expensive is the Adafruit Powerboost 1000c
Just google it. So many places sell them.

I don't want to stop your helping hand but ....@josephchrzempiec said in 5" Jumpy screen?:
Hello thank you all for the reply back. It came with a rear view car camera and i tried that. Surely a clear perfect picture no jumping around. It's only in the raspberry pi it's doing this.
-
Yeah I think the issue at this point man is how he's supplying power. Seems a bit convoluted and is probably a power issue if it's ok when just using the camera with it.
Not all those who wander are lost
-
I want to try something Let me isolate the raspberry pi from the LCD and power it up on a different Power supply and see what happens.
-
@monstermadeofman Do you think the power regulator is messing the composite signal? That could be possible.... So it should work with separated power supplies.
But it could also be a bad composite connection or a bad config. -
That's what I was thinking. I'm using a composite screen with with a powerboost 1000C and I'm not getting an issue. But I think the fact he's using individual parts that might not like working together or could be wired incorrectly.
Not all those who wander are lost
-
@cyperghost And there goes that problem I isolate the screen from the Raspberry pi and just Power the LCD with it's only 5v 2a Power supply and it confirms my thoughts there is Noise on the lines. The LCD comes on with no problem nice and clear and clean.
-
@monstermadeofman
We will see in the next posting of @josephchrzempiec. Be prepared :)EDIT: Respect you were right :)
-
@josephchrzempiec
Nice it works :)
Do you use the same grounding signal for all?
Please then graduate @monstermadeofman -
Someone Shake my head off my shoulders please LOL
Yes i still keep a common ground between both power supplies bypassing the buck boost converters. As i looked online A lot of these Buck boost converters Because there old design That they are notorious For noise on the lines. I do have a power boost 1000c from adafruit But i do not have other buck boost converter like in your I'm i will look into getting one. Meanwhile i think with a little help from filtering caps might for now Help clear up some of the Screaming noise from the lines.
