Using an $85 kit from Hoda, it is unlucky that none of the cables packaged with the display would work with the Mini 10v's innards, so it mandatory some tinkering on Weathejx's part to get it working thanks to reassembled parts from a USB hub. It took a few attempts of reassembling the Mini 10v before it could get going. Definitely not for the faint hearted!
