I just bought a Raspberry pi 5 and am trying to connect it to a ViewSonic portable monitor (TD1655) that I bought 2 years ago. I plugged the USB-A end of the cable into the Raspberry Pi and the USB-C end into the ViewSonic. But the monitor says that it isn't receiving any signal. Am I using the wrong cable? The ViewSonic has two USB-C ports and 1 mini-HDMI port.
I could connect the Raspberry Pi into my Asus monitor using either :
1) the USB-A to USB-C cable, but I think I would get the same results
2) a HDMI to micro-HDMI cable (it's a regular HDMI cable with a micro-HDMI adapter at one end)
I would think I'd get the same "No signal" message. But am I missing something in all this? I've yet to actually use the Raspberry Pi.
