Another Voight Kampff project

Now you've hit my problem, you can get the right size (static) screen , but to fit a photoframe that runs video you have to use the whole thing , so yes you can extract the screen from the frame, but you have to mount the controls somewhere on the box to operate the frame , I can dump the videos to an SD card , but I can't buy or get built economicallyl a circuit that allows me to control the videos and no frame I can currently buy at 3.5" has an auto start or auto run facility - if anyone knows of one - please send me the details - pretty please !! The larger screen is no problem, as there are many that fit the bill so this is no problem to achieve.

Maybe someone from the RPF could answer that question?

This guys seems to have figured it out. Any rate, I've been trying to keep my VK entries to this site only, that is until it's a bit further along. RPF has a lot of talented folks on it for sure. Check out this guy's nerdwerk!

Short of hacking we'll have to come up with a solution

[propsjonnyb]

I agree that someone has done this, it's exactly what we both need to produce a proper working replica . Unfortunately , my electronic skills aren't that good! it's just a touch past mine as I know my limitations !, but essentially we need a photoframe electronics guru who could build/hack photoframes and reproduce an auto run video circuit that takes a 2 meg SD card that runs off 9v - seems simple when you write it down like that - but difficult to actually produce .

I've got a mate over at Disney who'll start work on it just after Thanksgiving. I doubt any of this will be over his head (I truly am a chickenhead with that end of things). Once he's cracked it, I'll make sure we all have access to the workaround.
