    Hi all
    New here so thanks for any help, Bought the 7" Elements14 Touchscreen, Added my new Pi 3 Retopie etc, works great, but if I want to throw it on my living room TV for my son to play is it possible? I tried editing config.txt with hdmi_force_hotplug=1 as I read some post that seem to point to that but it didn't work. So just curious if there is a way to easily do this? Thanks all

      @cassini12 if your 7" isnt hdmi you cant remove the hashtag in front of the force hdmi hotplug. If it is hdmi you need to be able to ftp in or put your sd card in a computer to switch between screen resolution as i am sure your 7" doesnt have the same resolution as your big tv.

        Thanks the 7" is a ribbon cable, leaving my HDMI port free on the Pi.. .. Having a Bluetooth issue as well will start a new thread.
