Driver Installation
This LCD Module need install driver first.
Step 1:Download the Raspbian IMG
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Step 2: Burn the system image
If you don't know how to do that,you can refer to the Raspberry Pi office tutorial
Step 3: Open terminal(SSH) and install the driver on RaspberryPi
(tested on RaspberryPi 3B+,3B,2B,2B+,1B,ZERO)
Run:
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show
Wait A Few Minutes, when the system reboot ok, you can see that.
Touch screen calibration
- This LCD can be calibrated using a program called xinput_calibrator
- Install it with the commands:
cd LCD-show/
sudo dpkg -i -B xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb
- Click the Men button on the task bar, choose Preference -> Calibrate Touchscreen.
- Finish the touch calibration following the prompts. Maybe rebooting is required to make calibration active.
- You can create a 99-calibration.conf file to save the touch parameters (not necessary if file exists).
/ect/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
- Save the touch parameters (may differ depending on LCD) to 99-calibration.conf, as shown in the picture:
How to rotate the display direction
This method only applies to the Raspberry Pi series of display screens, other display screens do not apply.
- Method 1,If the driver is not installed, execute the following command (Raspberry Pi needs to connected to the Internet):
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./XXX-show 90
After execution, the driver will be installed. The system will automatically restart, and the display screen will rotate 90 degrees to display and touch normally.
( ' XXX-show ' can be changed to the corresponding driver, and ' 90 ' can be changed to 0, 90, 180 and 270, respectively representing rotation angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees)
- Method 2,If the driver is already installed, execute the following command:
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./rotate.sh 90
After execution, the system will automatically restart, and the display screen will rotate 90 degrees to display and touch normally.
( ' 90 ' can be changed to 0, 90, 180 and 270, respectively representing rotation angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees)
If the rotate.sh prompt cannot be found, use Method 1 to install the latest drivers
