I’m trying to mount the endpoint so close to the touch screen monitor, and the issues with the quality and touch are beginning to grate on me.
Is there an HDMI framer that works with endpoint so I can use Raspberry pi HDMI displays instead?
How about using a RPi for the display/touch functionality and the EndPoint for IO and control? You can develop an API with a serial port.
I assume this is for the 3D printer…
For one off, or prototypes, a lot of time can be saved by over engineering/mixing technologies to minimize the effort.
FYI
The official Pi Display is not HDMI. I believe it is DSI?
On Amazon, there are a lot of HDMI displays which are targeted to RPi. These displays use HDMI for the screen and simulate a mouse, for touch, via an USB cable.
I have used many of the HDMI screens with Pis.
I don’t want to use RPI because I’m angry with them over the shortage problems that somehow persisted after the pandemic, even though they were supposedly producing more of them than ever.
So you will punish them by making it more difficult for yourself? 
Use a BeagleBone made by GHI?
I’m not punishing them. I’m non-existent to them. From my point of view, if I had gone with RPIs and ended up without a supply of them, my business would have gone under over a 35-dollar component!
I had been using that, but it doesn’t have an HDMI framer either. I considered a full-fledged beagle-bone black, though.

What issue do you facing now?
I thought after you fixed the connection there is no more issue :d
Trying to mount the screen to the device is becoming a more significant issue than I thought, not to mention the intermediate nature of the connection, which sometimes looks good and sometimes bad. Also, my code base seems to take a long time to start. Could it be that I need to spend time optimizing, or could it be that I just need more computing power.
Are you using avalonia?
if you are using Avalonia, you need for release version

So there is no “whatever display output is on endpoint” to HDMI device that will allow me to keep using endpoint as the sole main CPU for the system? I’m going to have to use PIs and Pocket Beagles?
Endpoint doesn’t support HDMI for now.
Then I don’t know what to do. (I’m really depressed)

WOW… It took GHI less than 24 hours to develop a solution your problem!

Imagine the restraint it took for Gus to not let THAT cat outta the bag.

The same framer we use on sitcore to do HDMI will also work on endpoint.
You guys are a step ahead of us, and I love it. More endpoint love is in the works.

That’s some quality service right there. I’m still trying to grasp the gravity of that announcement.

So, after some investigation, it seems that only one maker of devices turns DVI into HDMI, and that’s GHI.
That should solve my pain points for now. If I have to run two different micro controllers, one for the main system and one for the web interface, I’ll do it. But for now, it’s all endpoint. I can optimize the system to death before needing a second microsystem.
