[mdlug] Raspbery PI day 3/14/15 - Show and tell

If I can get my A+ parts in time, I'll try to run down to show that one 
off. I also got a second AV-only 2-input monitor to replace the cheapie 
3.5" I was using in my car for the back-up camera. The new display is 7" 
and has a wire to hook to the reverse somehow that will automatically 
switch to the back-up camera when you throw the car in reverse. I'm not 
sure what it connects to yet (transmission handle switch or lights?)

I picked up an A+ to throw on the back of the monitor but I'm still 
waiting on the step-down buck-converter from China so I can feed a 
single 12v wire to power both. My intention is to use the monitor as a 
digital bumper-sticker in the real window when I'm not hauling the trailer.
