Hello forum!
I am wondering if you have any information on the touchscreen itself inside a cheap tablet such as: Ematic Pro Series Tablet PC, EGS005 - Walmart.com
I am in need of a 7'' touchscreen to hook up to my Raspberry Pi and have found that the CHEAPEST you can buy a 7'' touchscreen by ITSELF is $100. Yet the tablet here costs $60 with a touchscreen already!!!!! How is this possible?
My question is: Can I save $40 and rip the touchscreen out of this pre-made tablet and use it? Do you think it can receive input from another computer? Is there any way I can 'hack' an HDMI/DVI/VGA input (for video and sound) for the screen and then a USB output (for the touch information)? I essentially want to use this touchscreen, but control it from a totally different computer.
Thank you all
