Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I read this article online for reusing an old ipad screen as a monitor. I ordered the board from ALiExpress for 15USD. It took just minutes to hook up. Used an old wood sheet for a base. it looks great! Took the most getting the screen loose from the ipad.
Has vga and hdmi inputs. Runs on 12vdc wall wart.

The project driving the iPad screen is a Neo6502 board. It is an rp2040 and a 6502 processor on one board. Lots of neat games and stuff on it. Cheap board at about 30 some dollars built.
