DIY Raspberry Pi 3 7" Touchscreen Lcd Display Tablet with Kano OS

Raspberry Pi 3 7-Inch Touchscreen Display

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I really love Raspberry pi 3!

Raspberry Pi 3 Board and 16GB, 10class, with NOOBS

I have one installed with Recalbox and now, I have a DIY retro gaming machine with loads of my favorite games. There are some old games that I have played before but some, I've never even heard of. So, it's kind of cool.

I didn't want to keep swapping my microSD card on one raspberry pi, between playing games and using Kano OS. That's why, I've decided to get another Raspberry pi 3. Since, I'll need a monitor and also want it to be portable, I end up getting the 7" touchscreen with a case that can also house the pi 3.

I had watched some tutorial videos on youtube and it was pretty easy to set up. You just need to connect the ribbon and the wires from the touchscreen adapter to the raspberry pi. The touchscreen that I've bought already did some attachment for me. That makes it more easier for me to assemble the parts.

Once, I've finished linking all the cables, I inserted my micro SD card that I've already formated and installed with Kano OS using etcher. Let it bootup and voila!

I like Kano OS although, it's geared towards children for learning programming and coding. If only they had these when I was a kid. But, technology have definitely improved and that's why it's important for children today to take advantage of them and learn.

Who knows, we'll be able to travel the stars in the near future sooner rather than later. But, I'm looking too far ahead.

By the way, take note that Kano OS are for the desktop monitor or tv version. So, the image will looked a little smudged on the small 7" screen if you installed the Kano UI. But, if you use it using the 'classic mode', it'll be a little better.

If you prefer, you can get the Kano computer and also the 10" Screen kit. And, you won't have that screen smudge problem!

I haven't really played around with my raspberry pi 3 tablet yet, but if you're watching youtube or visiting websites, it's a little slow to load. But, it plays the video fine without any kind of lag. I've played some music off my usb drive and there's no problem there too.

I might get myself a portable charger  and some other accessories, so that I can really make my raspberry pi tablet portable. For now, I'm just happy that I finally got my own DIY raspberry pi 3 tablet with Kano OS installed!

Get yours if you're interested to make your own DIY raspberry pi 3 tablet!

Definitely, great fun diy project!

Happy computing!
