Buy HDMI Cable VGA/Audio to HD HDMI Converter Adapter HDMI Input VGA Audio Output Now
I ordered 5 of these to use w/Raspberry Pi single board computer. I expect it to work but I have not had a chance to test it. The Raspberry Pi is a low power low current device and I am not sure the Pi will source enough current to operate this converter.One has to be careful because there is a difference between adapter (passive) and a converter (active). The Pi needs a converter to display on a VGA monitor. The Pi has a HDMI (std size) connector. The device advertised here is made with 3 different size HDMI plugs. This one is the HDMI **Mini**, not the HDMI (largest) plug. I notified the company and they responded in a courteous helpful way. They were willing to refund my money and pay to ship the item back to them. I needed these within a short time frame so I asked them to just refund the amount required to buy an adapter from HDMI plug to HDMI Mini connector. As it turns out the cost was about the same as the original shipping from them to me. We both came out OK because I have the items I need and they are out the shipping cost for their mistake in the description. I asked them to correct the description and refund the HDMI size adapter cost, then I would write a good review. They have done well but I see the description has not been changed yet. If I have power sourcing problems when I connect this to the Pi I will open the case and power it directly from the wall wart to USB 5 volts out after breaking the power pin from the Pi in this converter.
