So I've searched and want to make sure I'm not missing something. I'm looking to put my Raspberry Pi 3 in my car as a supplement/media to the infotainment center. Im connecting it with the CRUX AVITY interfacing setup. My main question or problem is that I want to be able to screen mirror my phone, on occasion, to the RPi (Google maps for example is much better than my on board nav unit). Is there a way to do this with the WiFi chip on the Raspberry Pi 3? Do I need a dongle? What is the current solution most people are using in this scenario? I'm on a Galaxy S8+.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone seen or heard of possibly using an old smartphone touchscreen as a monitor for the pi?
Seems like everyone has old spare phones laying around. Maybe the adaptation is too difficult, but thought I'd just put it out there.
VNC Is the solution!

I suggest you to setup a VNC Server on the raspberry pi, download a VNC Client on the smartphone, and connect the client to the server. Now you will be able to use your touch phone as both screen, mouse and keyboard for the raspberry pi. You can also just use it as a screen, but it will be pretty low resolution, depending on how large the screen is.
If you don't know what VNC is, it is basically a "remote screen control thing", as I like to call it.

Just a tip, lol.

I was thinking more of inline of just hardware. Ive got a GS3 that bricked, so i was thinking of taking apart and hooking up the screen that way. plus ive got another half dozen phones that arent in use. Didnt know if anyone ever tried it before, seems like such an obvious idea.
Not from a smartphone but you can search for Siemens S65 or Nokia 6610/3310 for Raspberry Pi...
Those are working!
I had not found someone who has got make a smartphone display work...

So, hardware...

I don't really know what to do here, but I saw some people hook up a broken smartphone (With working screen) to the raspberry pi via GPIO cables.
Maybe this'll help you: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=34469
If you know what you are doing then I do not think it should be any problem to do so.
I was looking for something like this, because I have some old phones with good screens that would come in handy as status screens (I'm already using VNC)
¿Has someone tried to drive any phone screen with the bare GPIO or is a shield needed?
Thanks for the link. Its definitely going to work for one of my many pi projects. Love this this community !
I've been searching for a way to control my raspberry pi via Bluetooth and my phone or ps3 controller. I am using Openelec. Has anyone attempted this? Any success?

If you are using OpenELEC, just turn on the webservice. Then, you can use XBMC remote or other 3rd party apps and control via WiFi.
If you really want to do Bluetooth, then you need a bluetooth transmitter/adapter for your RPi.

I appreciate the responses. I am looking for a way to control my Raspberry Pi via bluetooth is because I won't have internet access all the time so I am looking for a control that works with bluetooth. I was also thinking of using a IR control.
A small keyboard with a touch pad might work. Wired would be more reliable/easier to set up than bluetooth. Also, if you're using it with an hdmi TV, you could get a good universal remote and set the keymap for your preference. I have done both of those in hotels, when I might not feel like trying to get the pi and the phone on the wifi and talking to each other.
I've successfully used one of these keyboards/touchpads as gotcha640 describes with my B+ and Openelec - works very nicely. I also have CEC access through my TV remote (an LG) which after a little tweaking to get a couple of extra keys working and mapped (welcome back contextual menu!) is good for routine operations, with the keyboard/touchpad coming into play for operations that need filenames etc. But equally the keyboard cursor keys or the mouse pointer select both work fine too.
The kbd/pad has a little dongle that plugs straight into the Pi. Works fine over the range of my lounge, although you do have to remember to point the keyboard toward the TV as the IR sender is a little directional (but nothing that causes an issue).
Hi.
Look at me, some new jerk with his first post being a request for screen mirroring on the Pi. What a douche right?
I have been doing a lot of research into this and nothing really seems too promising. Who the hell needs screen mirroring right? Just "play to", share the network, use lodi with custom repos or buy a chromecast and gtfo!
Dont get me wrong, I love the Pi, great device. Main problem is it is slow. Now Kodi running on my tablet screen mirrored over to my TV sure sounds a lot better. Since my TV, Xbox, playstation etc all currently do not want to screen mirror with me just yet, I think the Pi might be a good way to mirror the tablet to the TV since the tablet has a bit more CPU and 4 times the ram. The goal is of course to spend $0.
Raspberry Pi (original) model B (overclocked to over the highest settings)
Xbox One
Nexus 7-2 Tablet (rooted)
A slew of wires, none that go from usb to hdmi. One that goes from usb to VGA and another that goes from AV to hdmi)
An OTG cable (male microusb to female reg usb)
I feel like with the above I should be able to control the world :cyclops:, but I just cant seem to get anything going? What are your thoughts, I need a second pair of eyes on this as I could totally be thinking about this all wrong.
Thanks

Screen Monitoring D:
i am also facing this .. hope #2 help
Going to attempt to build my own car radio using a pi 2 I want it to run android and have GPS, WIFI, FM, Bluetooth. Can anyone recommend some good components to use that will work with android. Is there a good FM receiver that works with pi2 that can use the factory car antenna? Also is there anyway I can get the android OS to shut down from the ignition switch power? I plan on using a 7" touchscreen mounted in the dash are there and with at least a 720p res? Also anyone know where I can find a double din enclosure for all this? I probably end up fabricating one if there not easily found.
**Just found this mausberry switch I guess that will work with pi 2?
https://mausberry-circuits.myshopif...supply-switches/products/3a-car-supply-switch
That switch should work, what os are you planning on running? A simpler and less expensive option might be to mount a tablet (a used nexus 7 first gen can be found for under $50, and already has everything included, gps, wifi, bt etc). If you're set on using a pi, there's lots of resources on using a PI as a carputer.

Hello guys!
I have a raspberry PI 3 (model b) with all necessary accessories and different sensors such as (DHT11, BMP 180, MQ-2 etc.)
So far I have managed to install Raspbian OS and log-in to PI using Putty via Wi-Fi (as I don't have external screen)
1. Is it possible to connect many sensors let's say about 3 to 5 to a single breadboard connected with raspberry PI 3?
2. Once the sensors are added successfully is it possible to collect and send data to the android app? Let's say if I create a very simple looking android app and then I can see the temperature directly from the sensor on phone?
I know there are different IoT platforms that allow sharing data in the cloud, but I want to build everything from scratch.
I am a beginner on this, so I am still studying and reading but would appreciate if someone could give me some guidance where to start.
Regards
you can use and adruino and a bluetooth module to connect it to a raspberry pi and build an app to receive and display the data from the sensors. building one myself for a project.
U can do something like this with raspberry pi + arduino
https://github.com/Ayush1325/SmartHomeModel
Raspberry pi and arduino are connected via a simple serial usb cable that comes with arduino.
It uses PubNub as the server and arduino and Android phone are connected to internet.
why not just RDP or use JuiceSSH for viewing remotely
