Using a Raspberry Pi to add a second HDMI port to a laptop
pierre-couy.dev
A step-by-step tutorial you can follow along, featuring ffmpeg, xrandr, tcpdump and a dhcp server running on a Raspberry Pi

I made this project a few months ago, and got some good feedback when I shared it. I also made a Github repo with scripts and config files, but I did not get a lot of feedback on it.

Anyway, I’d love to read your thoughts about this project.

I’m also looking for lemmy communities related to DIY tech projects and Raspberry Pis, so feel free to recommend some communities :)

    I remember back in 2014 when I got a laptop with a micro-hdmi port without realising what a dog shit connector it was. The port died within the first month of use (during which it was probably unplugged and plugged a total of 20 times at most) and then I kept trying various tools online until I found this display over IP project and later got a display link dock for my next laptop.

    Thanks for the post, looks fun. I’ve never considered doing something like that, happy to know it’s possible.
