rasbian tft display drivers manufacturer

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.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It appears that the upgrade package overwrites the FBTFT drivers, in particular, the Raspberry Pi bootloader. This seems to solve the problem:

Unfortunately, their “driver” is an SD card image containing a complete installation of Raspbian which has been preconfigured to use their display. Which is fine if you’re setting up a brand new system that doesn’t need to be a specific distro, but if you’re trying to add the display to an existing Raspberry Pi, already configured the way you want it, with software installed and data present, or if you want to use a specific distro such as Octopi, then it’s not terribly helpful.

Hello..I tired to interface this lcd “https://www.crazypi.com/raspberry-pi-products/Raspberry-Pi-Accessories/32-TOUCH-DISPLAY-RASPBERRY-PI” to my Raspberry pi model B+.I got a DVD containing image for LCD in the package.I burned it to the SD card and plugged in the display.But my lcd is completly blank.But green inidcation led (ACT LED) in board is blinking.Why my LCD is Blank ?

Yes, it may be that the screen isn’t supported. Newer screens might not have drivers yet. I do know it is possible to make your own driver but that’s above my level of knowledge :)

i have a watterott display (https://github.com/watterott/RPi-Display) and changed the device-name to “rpi-display”. i use a rsapberrypi 2 and hae the latest raspian image installed.

Did you check to see if your device is supported yet? The device name should be specific for your screen, as listed in the fbtft file linked to in the beginning of the post

My system: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B with Raspian Wheezy from Febuary 2015. LCD display of Sainsmart 3.2 http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/1283498/Raspberry-Pi-Display-Modul-Touch-Display-81-cm-32/?ref=home&rt=home&rb=1

The LCD display shows the raspberry correctly. However, the touch screen input does not work. The mouse pointer can I move correctly with your finger, but I can not select things (function of the left mouse button).

Can someone upload SD card image that works with RBP2 ? My idea is to use Eleduino TFT as additional screen and play movies via HDMI.. is it possible?

Does anyone tried splash boot screen with waveshare v4 LCD and Rpi2? I tried to follow some example from https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Bootsplash but no success.

I remember that I plugged in the screen wrongly one time, before configuring any of the GPIO pins. Can this have damaged the screen? Still it’s weird that the display part works well and the touch part not at all.

I do not think that has anything to do with it. Other than power pins, the rest are communication. If it still works then you are good. No, there is something else. I do suspect it us related to the BCM pin numbering. The real question is… Why isnt the eeveloper responding? I have since abandoned this TFT because of his lack of response.

Here is a link to an updated image from waveshare. Upon install it got the display up and running, but I still do not have touch functionality. I’ve been playing around with it, but it has been to no avail…hopefully someone better at this stuff from me can get the touch working.

Great write up – worked first time for me. The only difference is by modules blacklist file was empty so there was no change needed there. Maybe to do with me being on a newer rasbian?

I filed the steps to calibrate the screen but it did not work.I think because it did not find the TFT pin, because I think the touch problem is the assigned pin to control it changed.

Advice to all who have the drivers from the (touch)screen manufacturer and cannot obtain those otherwise: you can skip everything and go to the update steps skipping the kernel and kernel modules update (as mentioned by the author) so that you don’t override the preinstalled drivers. I have a Waveshare 3.5″ RPi v3 (not the 3.2″ supported by notro’s drivers) and actually managed without any problems to get notro’s drivers make it work. However I am still reading about the xinput and xinput-calibrator to figure out how to include it as a kernel module so that I can compile my own kernel and add it there.

i have raspberry pi 2 with 3.2 inch rpi lcd v4 waveshare spotpear.i have done as per your instructions.the display is working but touch screen not working.error shows waveshare32b module not found as well as touch screen module not found messages.

Unfortunately I have lost the Touch facility on my Waveshare 3.5″ LCD Touchscreen? Can you offer any reasons as to why? I copied the Raspbian image to my Raspberry Pi from the Waveshare website first of all. The Touchscreen displays but is not reactive with any touch

I have purchased a raspberry pi B+ total kit and waveshare 3.2 TFT display online. In the package i have been given a pre-loaded NOOBS installed SD card. I did not even start anything yet. What should i do what r the things needed and how to connect the display i really want to know. I need help as i don’t know anything. Does the above solution help or will u suggest something………………..

Hi great article thanks. I am trying to get a waveshare 7 inch LCD with capacitive touch running it works with the suppled image but if you upgrade it breaks the capacitive touch. I have a sense-hat and GPS which require the latest kernel and RASPIAN image and the install program for the screen replaces the /lib/modules directory and the kernel with older ones. I need to be able to install the touch drivers into a new clean OS can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks

For anyone who have those unbranded cheap TFT touch modules and cannot get it to work with this guide, I had success on my 3.5″ with the following steps: http://pastebin.com/89qmFbPB

I have the WaveShare 3.5 (A) and cannot get it to work with the Kali Linux with TFT for Raspberry Pi. Have anybody gotten the A to work? (Not the B, theres instructions for the B already and dont work with A)

So I have the original image that came with my screen and it works fine with the LCD but my problem is that I want to use my LCD screen with other distros (at this time I am trying to use it with Kali Linux with TFT support by default https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/) What do I have to do to transfer the needed files from the original image that WORKS with the screen and use them with another image?

I originally bought this bundle http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013E0IJUK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 with an RPi LCD V3 and no extra documentation on the specifics on the chipset. I tried with the bftft drivers but since I have no idea what to call this screen I just suppose it isn’t supported.

I’m not sure if the Jessie kernel is compatible – can anyone please confirm or not ?? Adafruit states that their setup for TFT screens are Wheezy only ; is this a different setup ??

There was no disk included. I asked for drivers and was given a download link to the image file. After down loading this I tried it and still got just a white screen. The HDMI monitor locks partway though the boot. I can still log in to pi using putty from my PC.

Hi, I am using raspberry pi 2 with raspbian jessie installed. I the waveshare spotpear 3.2 v4. The above instructions are not working. and after completing the steps there was no display from hdmi or lcd. One things to notify is.: the etc/modules files only had i2c-dev and not snd-bcm2835.

Sir, Your post has very useful to me. i am using Tinylcd. but i cant get display. i am performing all the steps in your post. i cant get touch controller information from the product website and also i am using RASPberryPi B+ model. could u please give me best solution to my work. Than you.

I have KeDei 3.5 inch TFT version 4.0 by Osoyoo. (released after January 1 2016) how do i get it working with vanilla Raspbian Jessie (do not want to install the image sent by the seller)

Thanks for the great tutorial. I do have a question. Once you install the drivers for the lcd are you effectively disabiling the hdmi port or is it still available to use and will the pi function with both displays. I have a pi 3

once you install the drivers it replaces the kernel by disabling hdmi output and enables it for LCD. i don’t think we have a solution to get em both working at the same time. ( you are encouraged to search for it )

i am sorry, but i am a naive , and i have this question, can we upload any file into it for the display? like have a software in which if i tap it gives back a feedback to the code?

Its a script. Download and instead of running sudo ./LCD4-show run cat ./LCD4-show to simply display what it does without actually running it. The commands are fairly simple modifying a few files. I actually saved the LCD-show.tar.gz on my own server for faster future download but also for backup as it saved me tons of hours (if that’s a measuring unit for time :) )

i bought a 3.5 inch tft lcd screen from banggood. and i have installed raspian jessie, the latest version, in my sd card. but when i power on my Pi, only a white backlit screen comes. there are no images or graphics whatsoever.

Of course. Raspbian Jessie does not come with the drivers needed to talk to the screen. See my previous comment (September 22, 2016 at 11:54 am) and follow it.

PLEASE DELETE this article. You have great power with this article showing up for so many people in their search results, and you display ZERO responsibility. This is terrible!

Will your system work with my SainSmart 2.8″ 2.8 inch TFT LCD 240×320 Arduino DUE MEGA2560 R3 Raspberry Pi ? I would like to know before not be able to back out. Thanks, Lee

hello. I really appreciate your blog post. I have a raspberry pi 3 B. I have been unable to get my waveshare 3.2 screen to work.I am at a complete loss for what to do. I do step 2 I change fb0 to fb1 and then follow your directions I don’t get the prompt to reboot; however, I do it manually with sudo reboot. that works fine then I complete step three and that works just fine; however once I reboot from getting those drivers and when I attempt to reboot it is unsuccessful and then my whole raspberry pi will not restart. then when I power it back on it will just shut back off. I then have to redo noobs onto a new SD card I would GREATLY appreciate anyones help

it worked. but the resolution is for bigger screens. i got the menubar small, but the rest appears too big , and out of screen. the wastebasket icon is 1/6 of my 3.2″ screen. wich HAS the resolution capability too display the whole desktop. But i’m a PI newby and dunno how to adjust the screen resolution on this display. anybody?

I did a 5inch LCD for my raspberry pi. I dont use the touchscreen so i didnt have to install any drivers. It works out of the box but doesnt cover the whole screen unless you open the terminal and do:

After I did the step that “INSTALL THE FBTFT DRIVERS” and then reboot, my raspberry pi couldn’t boot successfully and the green light is always on, could you help me solve this problem? Thank you.

As it is an RGB interface you can directly connect it to the Raspberry DPI interface (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /README.md) without "glue logic".So, what you will need is an adapter board which converts the 40pin GPIO (2.54mm pitch) interface to 0.5mm FFC. In addition you will need to input the timing (page 10) to let the RPI now how to drive the display.

This is what the above setup looks like "in action". That 5.6in display is 640x480pixels native resolution. I"m running KMS graphics driver which allows me to scale my desktop to 1024x768pixels which still has a good readability on the display (xrandr --output DPI-1 --primary --scale 1.6x1.6)

Note: DSI to RGB chip used on the RPI display is EOL; so there is the chance that we will see a new official display in the future (but also a risk that RPi decided to make a last-time-buy with huge quantaties in orderto be able to ship longer).

if you did not/been unable to salvage that component from your display donar device you need to find a new one (extra costs, different specs, ..). And..there is still the risk the backlight fails on first start attempt!

Simplest use of a DPI display is by adding the timing to `panel-simple.c", write an overlay which uses it, compile everything and then add the overlay to config.txt. No need to write any driver.

For each one you would need to edit /boot/config.txt to add the display overlay and then reboot. If the display doesn"t work then remove the added entry before trying the next.

(1) After the LCD driver is installed, the system will automatically restart. After the startup is successful, the LCD can display and touch normally,

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.

3.5inch RPi LCD (A) and 3.5inch RPi LCD (B) are hardware compatible with each other (uses different driver), and can be mutually substituted in most cases. (A) for low cost ver. while (B) for IPS ver. with better displaying.

3) Connect the TF card to the Raspberry Pi, start the Raspberry Pi. The LCD will display after booting up, and then log in to the Raspberry Pi terminal,(You may need to connect a keyboard and HDMI LCD to Pi for driver installing, or log in remotely with SSH)

Hey Nikeron, is the used module really an ILI9325? Maybe we could then traceback the display connection and reverse-engineer it. From that point on when the schematics are released for everyone to build those displays themselfes, we could hack it then and create a free driver?

I downloaded RetroPie from https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ and have been trying to get my 3.5″ LCD to work. I downloaded the driver from http://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html as described, but whenever I try and extract it with the “tar xzvf LCD_show_v6_1_3.tar.gz” around 50 lines are executed and then the Pi crashes. When I restart it, it goes into a kernel panic every time. I’ve reinstalled my OS multiple times. I cannot download the raspbian distro with the driver because I have been unable to install RetroPie on top of it and have been unable to display it on the LCD.

Do you mean you don’t want to install the LCD driver but just install OS? If so, this LCD can’t work, but you can search a 3.5 HDMI LCD in our store and it works with just OS for display function.

Hi, I got version 6.3 of the screen. I tried installing it on the latest Raspbian with latest drivers from kedei.net. But when the Raspberry starts booting, the screen only works for a few seconds before being frozen. ( Raspberry works, only screen is frozen ).

Finally got my whitescreen issue resolved with a loooong processes of a clean headless install of raspberian stretch and the drivers as outlined above. I have no monitor other than this screen. I now have an issue continuing with my project whose first step is to do an update and upgrade. This reverts me to the whitescreen issue again. Can I presume that every time I do an update I also then need to reinstall the driver? What else does the driver install overwrite?

“ATTENTION” in the instructions they wrote >>./LCD_dhmi<>HDMI to R-pi display<<: it is just to reinstall the driver again, I need to execute the point 5) through the point 7) again.

this is a bit annoying to change from "R-pi display to HDMI" or "HDMI to R-pi display", if you want to give a public presentation or if you make projects involving the HDMI connector at the same time using a extended display or cloned display or projecting video or images PNG.

Reader [poipoi] recently wrote into our tip line to tell us about an “amazingly fast” Raspberry Pi display driver with a README file that “is an actual joy to read”. Of course, we had to see for ourselves. The fbcp-ili9341 repo, by [juj], seems to live up to the hype! The software itself appears impressive, and the README is detailed, well-structured, educational, and dare we say entertaining?

The driver’s main goal is to produce high frame rates — up to around 60 frames per second — over an SPI bus, and it runs on various Raspberry Pi devices including the 2, 3 and Zero W. Any video output that goes to the Pi’s HDMI port will be mirrored to a TFT display over the SPI bus. It works with many of the popular displays currently out there, including those that use the ILI9341, ILI9340, and HX8357D chipsets.

We’ve covered similarly performance-focused SPI display drivers for the esp8266, esp32, and teensy, if you’re looking to use a more lightweight computing platform.

Heng Cheng Electronics Technology Co., Ltd, established in 2009, is a manufacturer and distributor of TFT Displays, Touch Panels, Con-troller Boards and related components. Heng Cheng Electronics is based in Shenzhen China, with warehouse in HK as a stocking distributor for Innolux and BOE for years.

Having a nice LCD Display on your Raspberry Pi can allow us to make complex projects like a media center, PC, smartphone, tablet, etc. There are different types of Touchscreen LCDs available in the market today for Raspberry Pi from different manufacturers with different screen sizes, resolutions, operable with a stylus, etc.

In this project, we will see how to set up an LCD Touchscreen on Raspberry Pi. For this project, we have chosen a WaveShare 3.5 inch RPi LCD V4 touchscreen type LCD display.

It is the cutest, little display for the Raspberry Pi. It features a 3.5″ display with 480×320 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. It’s designed to fit nicely not only to the Pi Model A or B but also works perfectly fine with the Model B+.

Is this not the cutest, little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 3.5" display with 480x320 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay so it is slightly larger than the Raspberry Pi board, which is perfect to cover it. The plate uses a high-speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video, etc. Best of all it plugs right on top nicely covering the Raspberry Pi board. Single power from Raspberry Pi is sufficient to operate the screen. As it uses the SPI and Power pin from Raspberry Pi"s GPIO, it is nicely stacked on the RPi board. We also carry the perfect case/enclosure for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ and also 4B to be used with this LCD.

There is so much bla bla on this site, I refuse to read. As a guess: you have bought the e.g. Waveshare 3.5 inch SPI display... Then you will have to install a driver (lcdshow) into VenusOS to get this display to work, this is indeed a harder task.
