I was looking for a cheap HDMI display to check the status of my SBCs. There are some car-displays available but they are beyond my €50 limit.
It should have mount holes and a screen resolution of 800x600 to support a basic shell. I don't want to waste too much RAM for the GPU.


After some search I found the Eleduino 7'' display:

Quite well packaged:

And with a maker-like stand:

Two nice addons for the driver board:


One USB socket for power and a second one for the touch display:

Adding the parts was easy and the final result is robust:

Working out of the box with my ODROID C2:

The Eleduino is based on the Waveshare board so you can use these drivers:

If you do not like Phyton based drivers you can build the module on your own:
