10" hdmi/usb touch screen for printer frontend with Raspberry PI
I have never used the display on repetier server since I only used the web browser, but I plan to use this on my setup now with 3x Prusa MK3s. I plan to use a touch screen with hdmi and usb connection for the touch interface. Does anyone have a setup like this and could point to a display that work, or would almost any hdmi/usb touchscreen work?. Plan to have 10" display.

In browser debugger you can activate touch screen mode and set resolution to get a preview.
I normally use the 7" display which is where you already see all infos activated. Advantages of bigger displays are:
- gcode infors have more space
- All icons directly visible
- Bigger images
I was hoping for hdmi/usb connection since the raspberry pi is placed a bit away from where the display would be. But I might be able to switch it around and place the pi on the back of a display. I do have the offisial 7" display, but it does not have a very long cable. Might be able to have a round cable soldered to the flat one, or get an adapter?
I`ll try that link.. Good tip
