Aloha. I have just purchased the Raspberry PI 7 inch touch screen for my Tinkerboard. The YouTube videos suggest to power the unit by the usb-mini connector on the video board, then run jumpers from the video board to power the Tinkerboard via pins on the Tinkerboard's 40 pin connector. I would prefer to power each board separately. I want to power the video board through it's usb-mini connector and to power the Tinkerboard through it's usb-mini connector, each with it's own power supply. Is this acceptable? Mahalo.
Two supply to each device's microUSB?
I believe that would be worked~
If you can not bring up this dsi touch screen, please post message at here.
Aloha... At present I am traveling. I will mate the screen to the Tinkerboard and try to power it with two sources when I settle down for a while around 15 March... I will post the results, good or ill, then.

Sorry about the slow response, but I just got settled in a village with an Internet connection...
I mated my Timkerboard to the Raspberry PI 7inch touch screen and it worked right out of the box. I supplied both the Tinkerboard and the screen driver card each with it's own seperate 5v power supply, via their mini-usb connectors. My reasoning for using two power supplies was to avoid the low power problems (rebooting) that occur when using power hungry add ons (screens, drives, etc.).
The Raspberry PI 7 inch touch screen is sharp and clear. It is responsive to the touch. If a 7 inch display is what you're looking for I highly recommend it.
My only problem is the mounting system I'm using hangs the screen upside-down. I believe there is a softwear fix for that and I'll ask for help with that on the Softwear side of the forum...
Aloha...

let's get things right, your screen is upside down and you want to change it back to normal ?

OK Sam, sorry about the confusion...
I bought a PIMO RONI LCD FRAME for my Tinkerboard/Raspberry PI 7 inch touch screen unit. It is a frame for the screen with legs on the back to hold the screen upright. When I assembled the frame with the unit I found the display is upside down. The legs only fit on the frame one way. The Tinkerboard only fits into the frame one way. Also If I try to turn the entire unit upside down there is not enough ground clearance for either the mini usb power cable or the headset cable.
My solution is a softwear patch to turn the screen 180 degrees.

The software patch is a good idea but did you had to touch to cables when you assembled it ? And there isn't any settings ?
