## Information pertainint to dual Monitor Setups. | ||
|
||
I was able to get this working with a raspberry pi 4b | ||
|
||
Things you will need: | ||
|
||
- Raspberry pi 4b | ||
- 2x lcd (see main readme on where to obtain this) | ||
- 2x driver board (see main readme) | ||
- 2x hdmi MICRO cable, and usb cables necessary to connect to your driver board, as well as power the pi 3b | ||
I used these: | ||

|
||
- 1 USB-C Cable (keep in mind, you'll likely be using a 12v to 5v stepdown power supply like most, and will likely | ||
need a usb to usb-c that'll fit your cable for this. in my case it was a micro to usb-c adapter) | ||
I used these successfully | ||
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I0ZAJXO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | ||
|
||
KEEP IN MIND, if you underpower your 4b, it will likely either not boot into the OS, may not power all your screens | ||
and may not work properly. You /cannot/ (I cannot urge this enough) likely /just/ power this from a standard usb | ||
to usb-c as a standard usb output only puts out a little under 1 amp. So for those who are planning on using a usb | ||
cable in your car, you are better off using a 12v to 5v stepdown as many of them on amazon put out 3+ amps. | ||
|
||
Your pi will use as much of it as it can. | ||
|
||
- 1 sd card that'll fit your pi3b (remember, faster is of course, better) | ||
- rasbian OS (you can use the RasbianConfig folder in primary directory for this) | ||
- A copy of tuner studio | ||
|
||

## Actually getting tuner studio to work with 2 monitors | ||
## | ||
|
||
Firstly and foremost, a few takeaways from this I found were: | ||
|
||
- The config I initially got working for my displays was perfectly fine and in fact, my pi booted up with both | ||
using the config found under the RaspianConfig folder in the core directory. If you set yours right, you hopefully | ||
should not have to modify this. | ||
|
||
- You will need to create a second dashboard in tunerstudio. There is a little icon next to your dashboard name | ||
in tunerstudio. Make whatever dashboard you want on lcd #2. | ||
|
||
- Once you have your dash for lcd #2 made and you're happy with it, right click for full screen and send it to monitor 2. | ||
This may have an odd notation like ".2" or ".1" and ".0" in it. At least mine did for my mini lcds. | ||
|
||
- Once you have a dashboard assigned to monitor 1 and monitor 2, ensure your options are set for loading your project on tunerstudio | ||
and then to go fullscreen (see main readme step "Directions for installing TunerStudio and setting your dash") in core directory. | ||
|
||
- Reboot your pi, and it should immediately load into tunerstudio, load your project, and one by one, load your dash onto each display. |

||
It's worth noting that it's very easy to do this with a raspberry pi 3b. | ||
|
||
The processing power seems to be just fine and the supplies you will need are the following: | ||
|
||
- Raspberry pi 3b | ||
- 1 lcd (see main readme on where to obtain this) | ||
- 1 driver board (see main readme) | ||
- 1 hdmi cable, and usb cables necessary to connect to your driver board, as well as power the pi 3b | ||
- 1 sd card that'll fit your pi3b (remember, faster is of course, better) | ||
- rasbian OS (you can use the RasbianConfig folder in primary directory for this) | ||
- A copy of tuner studio | ||
|
||
Actually setting everything else can be found in the main readme. |
