Also, in my previous attempts to use LCD35-show the frame buffer copier fbcp did not install and I had to build and install it manually.

Good day,
Today I struggled with a problem, where I use a TFT display with Raspberry PI 3B+. In addition to this, I use SX1276 radio module, which also works with SPI protocol. Although I can use both of them separately, I could not use them both at the same time. The issue was that after the call of LCD35-show command is executed, after reboot, the SPI is disabled, and no spidev device can be found in /dev/ directory. Manually turning on SPI from raspi-config does not solve this issue. Is there any solution or at least any workaround to this problem?

The emulation of all games (include the menu) run slow with LCD 3.5 inch

install driver after lcd reboot only the cursor flashes i don't see the boot process

goodtft/LCD-show does work but unfortunately they don't have the LCD3.5C variant and the touch doesn't work. The official driver doesn't work at all. Please fix products which you sell. no point selling it if you are not going to actually support it and maintain it.

Hi,

How can I see driver's display are installed?

Thanks!

Recently started working with Pi 3 A+ and 3.2" RPi LCD (B). Installed Raspberry Pi OS using the imager from windows, updated once running on Pi and then cloned the git. After restart and switching to LCD display using:
cd LCD-show/ and ./LCD32-show
After reboot screen resolution changes and touchscreen becomes active, yet display still only outputs to HDMI connection.

Would be great if you could provide a driver for 10.1 inch display as snap. A gadget snap is a special type of snap that contain device specific support code and data and should be the suitable snap type. The snap has to use the core:spi interfaces via a plug to support resistive touch functionality. For visualization related data core:x11 would be the suitable interface ATM (means driver does not support Wayland nor Mir).

Hey there,

on my way making a kodi based Web Radio I stuck in installing the drivers on LibreElec, because there is no apt for it.

Is there a way to install the Screen for LE? I don't want to make my settings by changing between x11 from Raspbian and Kodi permanently.

BR

I need to be able to use the touchscreen display and have another monitor connected to my RPI at the same time. After installing the driver this no longer seems possible. I have attempted to find a work around my manipulating the RPI config files but have not found a solution.

It seems like you are supporting X11 only. Would be great if you could support wayland as well.

Hello, I tested a 3.2 LCD with kernel 5.4 on Raspberry Pi OS, but isn't working yet - would be great to get this up and running as 5.4 adds libcamera and IMX477 support! Thank you

I found you followed me in GitHub, so I also follow you. :)
glad o meet you.
you can add my wechat: lowversion

Installed the driver for XPT-2046 display and it simply broke my Pi. Any idea for any other driver I could use with the 3.5 inch touchscreen display that works?

Hi, I had a small issue installing the drivers. I found a solution and thought it would be helpful to share here so others are not confused.

I was installing on Pi Compute 3+ (which does not have integrated wifi), so I had to download from github using my PC and transferred the LCD-show-master folder with a USB harddrive to my Pi.

I used cd command to move to the LCD-show-master folder and then tried sudo ./filename but this command did not work.

The solution was I apparently had to first make the file executable with the command:
chmod +x filename

Hope this helps someone!

Can we get an update here? 2 years is literally a LIFETIME.

There are also a TON of highly destructive, amateurish issues with this script-kiddie approach here.

You overwrite files, and don't make backups (Really?? REALLY???!!!!)
You "ASSUME" that everyone is running Raspbian... NOPE.
You "ASSUME" that everything is where YOU think it should be.

There is literally NOTHING here worth salvaging..

Honestly.. it's like you got it to work once, in a specific case situation, and then regurgitated it into a ton of scripts..

i'll never buy another waveshare product again.. .sorry, but not sorry, this is a bare minimum approach.

If you can't support your products, stop making products, you don't deserve the income, ,go back to producing one off electronics for yourself, because as a business model, this is doomed to failure.

I upgraded to Debian version 11 (bullseye) on my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and the LCD-show software for the 5 inch is not working.

The display works with HDMI but the touch software does not.

我希望通过stm32来驱动，但是尝试普通的ili9486驱动程序无法使用，不知道是什么原因

I'm not making a pull request, but you can fix it by adding code that pulls and install fbcp to your install scripts.. (copied from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/master/pitft-fbcp.sh )

# FBCP INSTALL -------------------------------------------------------------

echo "Downloading and installing fbcp..."
apt-get --yes --force-yes install cmake

cd rpi-fbcp-master
mkdir build
cd build

I am making a project where my pi will "dock" and hdmi will get plugged in. is there any way to switch back to hdmi by rebooting?

Could you provide a license file pls?

Hello . . .
I use the 3.5-inch screen of models A, B, C in RaspberryPi4B.

The drivers also run easily on Raspberrypi with different versions of Linux.
My problem is how can I compile Waveshare drivers on Openwrt to make them usable? Because the OpenWrt project is a small version of Linux for Embed devices and does not have many of the original Linux "Features" and practically the script designed for it does not work because as far as I understand it has a script from the original Linux Repository to run Be used.

I also know that to connect an SPI device to OpenWrt, we need to add driver files to our device's Linux kernel, which I did, but it looks like WaveShare needs its own custom driver to activate it, that I do not know how to add it to the kernel?

Can anyone help me?

Is posible t install and run LCD on Fedora image for RPI ?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#aarch64_supported_images_for_Raspberry_Pi_3

Installed using LCD35-Show lite, display are fine but touch screen does not seem to work at all, any howtos for troubleshooting?

Raspberry PI OS Linux raspberrypi 5.10.92-v7+ #1514 SMP Mon Jan 17 17:36:39 GMT 2022 armv7l (Debian Bulleye)

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question. I've got the "5inch HDMI Display-B" 800x480 USB Capacitive Touch Rev 1.0 LCD display that is commonly used with raspberry pi. In my case, I want to use it via HDMI andI need the display to be flipped horizontally so I can use it with a teleprompter.

The problem is that the OSD does not support horizontal flip. I also have a 7" model which appears to use the same or similar firmware, and it does have the option to flip horizontal, which makes me think it should be possible to get this smaller display to flip horizontal.

I've found the LCD-show "driver" which is used to configure the display when booting with a raspberry pi, and I'm wondering if this LCD-show drive actually changes the configuration in the NVRAM of the LCD board, so that I could use LCD-show to flip the display horizontal, then unplug it and use it as a plain HDMI display, but have the image appear flipped.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

All this is absolutely not working. Stops loading and hangs. Display 7 ", 800x480
Driver LCD7-800X480-Show
I do not recommend installing, you will have to install OS again

This repo appears to be unmaintained and does not work. I managed to get it running with re4son-pi-tft-setup

Hi. Can i power off it (3.5inch RPi LCD (A)) for power saver by python? Thank you!

I'll keep this brief... your scripts have multiple points of failure that should result in an abort or at the very least provide warnings, prompts, and debugging output to help narrow down the causes. These scripts have no such protections. For instance, cmake failed for me, resulting in no driver being built. Then it promptly overwrote critical files like my cmdline.txt and config.txt based on teh assumption that cmake would succeed and promptly rebooted without asking.

Needless to say, your script bricked my pi and obliterated a week's worth of work I had been doing to prepare a custom image.

You use hard-coded paths, and make a ton of assumptions based solely on the Rasbian image, overwrite files without backing them up, and make dozens of extremely destructive changes that universally result in a kernel panic if anything goes wrong. Can't you at least do some error handling FFS?

if [ -b /dev/mmcblk0p7 ]; then sudo cp ./cmdline.txt-noobs /boot/cmdline.txt else sudo cp ./cmdline.txt /boot/ fi
这段没有考虑系统安装在USB或者硬盘的情况，复制本项目的cmdline 到/boot/ 下，会导致无法启动系统，造成假砖。
ps：usb 或硬盘启动cmdline是

How can I display on both the 5 inch touchscreen and a HDMI monitor at the same time? The raspberry Pi 4 has two mini HDMI ports, how can both mini HDMI ports be used at the same time for a dual display?

Given module for every device has been problemmatic with 5.x linux version which would be default for Raspbian.

Have you planning re-share TFT compiled drivers for that update.

as title.

Hi,

I have installed this driver and now I want to uninstall it because something else that runs through my GPIO stopped working after I installed it. How do it uninstall it?

Best regards

Hello

I just buy the waveshare 10'1 inch 1280x800 monitor and connect it to my Hikey960 board with Ubuntu 16.04. It turns out that there is only colorful lines on the monitor instead of any image.

I've use "sudo ./LCD101-1024x600-show", but the problem remain unsolved.

Is there any way that i can make it support my Hikey 960 board?

Thanks for your reply.

Would you consider publishing DeviceTree overlay sources, and maybe even contribute them to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/ ?

LCD-show scripts should fail if a non-supported linux distribution is detected or at least warn. Also merging changes into critical files like cmdline.txt over overwriting seems to make sense. Next thing is no chance to intervene/prevent anything since the script ends with a forced reboot.

I have been using the previous version of the 2.8 inch TFT display with ILI9341 specific libraries and now they won't work with my code. The Waveshare wiki did not mention what display driver is being used in Rev2.1 so I am stuck.

I have been trying to get this to work on a new install of Ubuntu server 64-bit 20.04 (with Xubuntu desktop) on a Raspberry Pi 3B (3.5 display) and I cannot.

It seems that the paths are different (/boot/firmware instead of just /boot), but even after making manual changes the device gets stuck and won't boot.

Anyone else able to get it to work PI3B?

In arm64, it can be installed successfully, but after that, the system can't start, and HDMI outputs a lot of words that can't be read clearly.I can't control it. It seems that I can only flash the system again.
(raspberry 4b, system:2020-08-20-raspios-buster-arm64)

I am using my RPi4 with USB Eth Gadget.
After running the script, my USB Gadget is gone.
May I know whether it is related?

It breaks the whole system on Arch Linux ARM. Also, a little shady for your source distribution to contain binary files without having any (documented) way of generating them from source

After it runs the sudo ./LCD5-show command, it throws an error:
CMake Error: The current CMakeCache.txt directory /home/pi/downloads/LCD-show/rpi-fbcp/build/CMakeCache.txt is different than the directory /home/pi/LCD-show/rpi-fbcp/build where CMakeCache.txt was created. This may result in binaries being created in the wrong place. If you are not sure, reedit the CMakeCache.txt CMake Error: The source "/home/pi/downloads/LCD-show/rpi-fbcp/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "/home/pi/LCD-show/rpi-fbcp/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache.

Hi,
I am using Raspberry Pi 3B+ and also using Bluepy(python library) for Bluetooth Low Energy signal detecting.
After switching to the LCD screen (ie. sudo ./LCD32-show) the Bluetooth doesn't seem to be working.
In bluetoothctl, 'Scan on' and 'Power on' commands return "No Bluetooth Adapter Found".
Re-switching or rebooting the machine does not solve the problem, Raspberry does not see the Adapter after that point.
Only solution on my side is re-imaging the RP, but I have to implement the screen.
Do you have any ideas for my specific problem?
Thanks in advance!

For working out of the box with VNC you need to set 3 options. (According to Real VNC)

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

for 1920x1080 60hz Mode....
If you don't have that you will always get the Error that "VNC cannot currently show the desktop". Or would that break other connected HDMI monitors? At least the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 option should be safe right?

I've also created a .desktop entry with

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Touchscreen
Comment=Shows on Touchscreen
Path=/home/pi/LCD-show/
Exec=/home/pi/LCD-show/LCD35-show
Icon=/home/pi/LCD-show/touch.jpg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility

for easily switching with a single Touch and no need for entering the command via shell all the time when switching.

How can I install this driver and connect display using dsi as a result?

Thanks

After installing the 64-bit Kali Linux on my Raspberry Pi 4 the LCD show script doesn't seem to work. It fails to pull dependencies and reboots the RPI. The result from that is a white screen and HDMI connector not working (because the script disables it). To go around that issue I had to use the 32-bit Kali Linux image.

I have this screen: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD
before i installed the touch driver i could use SPI in python without problems, now after installing the driver i get the error:

      spi.open (0.0)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such files or directory 

I've installed latest raspberry pi OS and followed instructions from wiki to install driver.

My LCD screen is white but touch options are working.

Only thing regarding display that changes is that my HDMI device displays in resolution intended for LCD screen.

LCD screen is 3.5inch RPi LCD (A) V3.
