It's still compatible with the droid so it must have the same USB/HDMI connectors.
That's a nice package. You still need the micro HDMI to normal HDMI adapter. Have you found that stateside?
The cable was the culprit. I used a different HDMI cable with my friends female micro HDMI to female micro HDMI adapter and it works fine.
My ras-pi lap dock has been running for two hours and 4/5 battery lights are still lit. It's been idle but running X.
No, the micro HDMI f-f was ordered off eBay.
Attached is a pic of the setup tonight that works.
Top right is lap dock power (charging).
Top center is the USB micro female to normal female.
The USB male-male adapter joins it to the raspi.
Back at the top is the unconnected HDMI male, the f-f adapter, and a higher quality micro HDMI to normal HDMI cable (from a Motorola tablet).
There is also a USB WiFi adapter plugged into the lapdock's rear USB port.
This setup ran for over six hours nonstop today and the screen looks great.
One of my earlier emails listed my original parts list but included the other HDMI cable that's turned out not to work. I apologize if anyone ordered that combo; thus is the nature of hacking.
I happened by Discount Electronics today and saw the adapter Martin showed. The issue is you need the lapdock's micro USB connected to the raspi's large USB port. That provides power and connects the lapdock's hub to the raspi. That Y cable still needs other adapters.
