kedei 3.5 inch tft lcd display spi with touch screen supplier

While googling for any info about lcd controller I came across this page: http://heikki.virekunnas.fi/2015/raspberry-pi-tft/, author managed to get from manufacturer patch file for kernel sources and tested it with 4.1.y - on which lcd worked. But still LCD replace HDMI, but I want to use this screen as additional for user interaction, while the bigger on HDMI as presentation monitor.

Since, fbtft has been merged with rpi kernel, so the fb drivers (including ili9341.c) was moved to fbtft_device driver (so the author of page can"t compile latest kernel with driver+patch).

So something about hardware, which I reverse engineered by the "hard way" - "grab multimeter and run through all LCD FPC pins and shift register pins"

Now I noticed there is "9486L" which can suggest that LCD screen is controlled by ILI9486L, I found this LCD on taobao too but I can"t contact seller.

I"m pretty sure about D/C (Pin 37 on LCD) and Reset (Pin 19 on LCD) pins by looking into driver code, but I can"t identify other signals (WR/RD/CS/etc...)

- Controller is not ILI9341/ILI9325 - those are for smaller displays (320x240, etc...), I guess this might be ILI9486/9488 because they are for 480x320 displays. But when I compared init with DS it does not fit right so LCD can have a clone of ILI9486/9488 ...

- Module use only SPI interface and two CE signals (CE0 for touch controller, CE1 for LCD shift registers - compared to others lcd modules, in KeDei module this is swapped),

When surfing for information on 3.5 ” TFT touchscreens for the Raspberry Pi,to improve the TinyLCD experience, I stumbled upon AliExpress where several shops offer a 3.5″ LCD TFT Touch Screen Display for incredible low prices.

Here my experiences with the screen: quite slow refresh, not too high contrast, crisp screen, touch works, software works but is already outdated, but considering the price this screen is well worth the money! If I compare it to the NeoSec screen it is a better deal for applications with a high contrast theme and no demand on smooth video.

So now for the test. On the sellers page an URL is placed to get the software, on a Google drive. Not a clickable url, but an image with a long filename to type over …. Oh well, I got the archive.

Update June 2016: There is now a download/information page at http://osoyoo.com/driver/rpiscreen.php. Images for more versions (mine i 2.0, latest is 6.2)  are available there. Alternative ishttp://kedei.net/raspberry/raspberry.html with Kali Ubuntu drivers too for version 3.0 and up.

The archive contains an image of Raspbian with the LCD driver installed. The image is quite current, and fit for B, B+ or 2 B. When I bought the screen an older image, build in augustus 2015,  was downloadable, the kernel is quite fresh built, early October 2015.

The image supplied is wheezy,  3.18.9-v7 #27 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 4 23:57:41 CST 2015 armv7l. So quite a recent system! Also the Model 1 B and B+ kernel is present, also just current wheezy.

Now the bad news: no word how these kernels were build. So we are stuck with wheezy for now until the Chinese supply a more current build, hopefully based upon jessie. Until then: be careful updating the system by holding back on kernel updates.

The system uses SPI to copy the screen contents to the LCD screen, and some GPIO’s for the touchscreen. Other GPIOs are free, and the connector construction  leaves these pins indeed accessible!

I can confirm that the 3.5 inch LCD touch screen from kedei works with raspbian stretch. I have to use the latest driver at http://en.kedei.net/raspberry/v6_1/LCD_show_v6_1_3.tar.gz

I am working on simulators of point of sale devices using Arduino Uno and ATmega 2560. This application would be fine with this touch screen display as what I need is some way of simple data entry to change settings, display settings to the user, and provide a way to trigger some events.

Unfortunately when using this display with an Arduino Uno and the original KeDei TFT library, there is very little memory available for storing data due to the small amount of memory on the Arduino and the large character font array in the KeDei library in file KeDei_font.cpp. However the touch interface seems to work with the Arduino.

The ATmega 2560 has much more memory and I was planning to use an ATmega 2560 instead of an Arduino Uno however I have run into a problem with the touch interface providing incorrect touch points when using the TFT display with the ATmega 2560. I have set the jumpers on the back of the display to 2560 however I"m still seeing incorrect touch points returned.

I have cloned the Osoyoo KeDei TFT library into my GitHub repository and have been working with the library. I have made a change to the 16x16 bitmap font table const unsigned char font16_B[95][16] in file KeDei_font.cpp of the KeDei TFT library to use an 8x8 bitmap font and to also eliminate lower case letters. This change has made a significant improvement by reducing the amount of memory consumed by the KeDei TFT library.

I have since found a font with smaller, 5x7 bitmaps, so the font table is now const unsigned char font_table[59][5] which requires me to use upper case only but really improves the amount of memory I have available. I"ve also modified the library to do scaling of the font to double wide or high or to triple wide or high.

I"ve gotten the level converters now, and experimented a little, with no results but a plain white screen. I copied the "init commands" code from the Linux source for ILI9341, which are the closest thing I could see in the patch made by KeDei for any init-code, plugged an arduino Uno in via a level converter from 5v down to 3v3, with SCK/MOSI/MISO from arduino pins 13/12/11, and pin 9 to toggle L_CS, keeping it HIGH but pulling it LOW for 1 to 5 milliseconds after each 4-byte SPI write.

Eventually I tried without the level converter too, since the 74HC595 datasheet said it could handle "up to Vcc" on the input pins, Vcc being max 6V. But that was after trying a lot of combinations in the code; all the variations of SPISettings in Arduino"s SPI library, for transferring four bytes one at a time (someone else who also looked at these displays found out that the registers always want four bytes - and that the first byte is always 0x0 !). Also doing as you suggested with an extra "DC command bit" so that the "bytes" were 9-bits wide, ending in a zero bit to indicate "command". No luck, ah well.. And I can"t even be sure that either the display is an ILI9341 just because the sales page said so (others had gotten similar displays with another drive chip), or that the code in the kernel source matches this KeDei-version of the display.

As an amusing side note: I did get a Mega screen that I mentioned elsewhere, that only output blue colour, but yellow/red when told to "invert screen". It turns out the display is probably okay, but the interface is only 8 bits wide while the chip is set to 16 bits, meaning the last half of the colour data never makes it to the controller! That seems like a likely explanation to me, given the dirt-cheap price.

This LCD Touchscreen HAT fits snuggly on top of the Raspberry Pi, practically form fitting on top of it so as not to compromise the overall dimensions of the credit card sized single board computer. The resistive touchscreen provides you with an easy way to display information coming off of the Raspberry Pi and the OS currently running on it.

The 4:3 aspect ratio backlit LCD equipped on this HAT possesses a resolution of 480 by 320 pixels with over 65 thousand colors and an SPI interface with a 16MHz driver speed. Simply plug the 13x2 GPIO header into your desired Raspberry Pi and you"ll be able to start using your new resistive touch screen!

After many days of trying different guides I have finally managed to configure Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with 3.5’’ LCD that I bought from AliExpress. This will be step by step guide. If I did it you will too. I am absolute novice at the Linux world.

When you’re done with this go to Settings, where you select Plugins. On the left side click on the Miscellanea tab and install Touch Display Plugin. This can take up to 10 minutes.

I hope this guide will save you some time. For me it worked. I used Volumio version 2.657 but just today as I write this guide version 2.668 was released. I have no idea if it works with that one.

The 3.5 inch RPI lcd display TFT Capacitive Touch Screen is a display module can be applied to Raspberry pi 3 B+ Pi Zero etc. It can be used as raspberry pi x window display terminals.

The RPI LCD Display TFT Capacity Touch Screen Modules used 28 pins out of raspberry pi 40 pin. When installing the module attention to align the first leg of the raspberry pi and LCD module.

3) pls try to install the image with raspbian and 3.5 driver and try it again: https://osoyoo.com/2016/05/26/osoyoo-lcd-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi-installation-guide/

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 ).

I had this happen initially. To resolve it I DISABLED SPI under raspi-config and then also set the bootup settings to be Desktop. I have a weird keyboard and the CTRL-ALT Fn keys didn’t work right, but normally CTRL-ALT-F1 or F7 change you from terminal to desktop virtual sessions in Linux.

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.

Hello, I have been able to install the driver and play/switch between LCD & HDMI, now is there any way to turn off the white screed or turn off LCD when Im not using it? Thanks

The LCD doesn’t do anything else. Initially I had the Memory split set to 16MB – but this through up a memory error on the LCD. Setting it higher removes this error – but still nothing else.

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:

I just tested this, and it looks like the difference is how SPI is enabled. In the RPi 2 it’s enabled in raspi-config, not commented out in the blacklist file. I just updated the post so it should work now!

Looks like the only difference is in how SPI is enabled. In the new release of Raspbian, SPI is enabled in the raspi-config menu under advanced settings. In older versions of Raspbian, it is enabled by commenting out the line in the blacklist file

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 ?

If you have tried using the manufacturers image and the screen doesn’t work, it could be that the screen has a hardware malfunction. If the process above doesn’t work either, I would contact the manufacturer

Is your RED (POWER) LED on? I had the same problem. Green Led was blinking and screen was white. Then I noticed RED Led is off, indicating there’s something wrong with the power. I plugged into different port and it started

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 :)

My Touchscreen is now working fine.The problem was for the ribbon cable on the back side of LCD.It was not connected properly.I just tighted the cable and it worked fine.Hope it will be useful tip.

Thank you for this great tutorial. I looked everywhere for this information. I have an eleduino 3.5 version A. I was able to get it working on my Pi 2 by following your tutorial and using flexfb as the screen type. I got the other settings from the image that came with the product. I did find that the ts_calibrate didn’t recognize the screen so I installed xinput-calibrator and it worked fine.

What other settings are you speaking of? Where are they on the image? I’m also using the Eleduino 3.5, but I’m not sure which letter version it is. It says version 141226 on the back, and it’s a black PCB.

Just got my Pi2 running Wheezy, working with the Eleduino 3.5 LCD without running the OEMs image… kinda. I didn’t want to rebuild the application environment again, so was avoiding flashing the SD.

I tried the steps in this tutorial. It’s very clear and easy to follow, thank you. But it didn’t work for me, I tried setting my device to flexfb. Only got white screen.

thank you for your great tutorial, it got me on the right way. unfortunataly i only see some boot messages on the lcd and then it turns black. maybe you could give me a hint on how to get it working entirely.

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

I too have a raspberry pi 2, and a waveshare spotpear 3.2 RPi lcd (v3) and I just can’t get it to work! I suspect I have a faulty LCD, but thought I’ll try this forum for help before I sent it back.

Soon as the pi is powered, the LCD lights up all white, with a few vertical pixels coloured at one of the edges, and nothing else. I don’t think that should happen – not at least before the BOIS has started up.

Anyway, point 1, says to change to dev/fb1 – I don’t have fb1. Only fb0 appears to be there. is that a clue what could be wrong? I have enabled SPI (is there a command to tell if its enabled?) I have also ran spidev to troubleshot (though I haven’t a clue what I means)

Any ideas what going wrong? I am using the latest “2015-02-16-raspbian-wheezy_zip”. Enabled SPI. done all the steps. Even changed mmcblk0p2 to mmcblk0p6 as suggested by Dabomber60 (but that freezes for me)

It seems all appears to be working – just the LCD is still all white with a single line of coloured pixels on edge) and nothing else. Is there a way to output, like jeff G script, of touch points?

I had the same one, I finally found a driver for it here: http://www.waveshare.net/wiki/3.2inch_RPi_LCD_(B) you will need to translate the page, but unpack the driver then run sudo ./LCD-show/LCD32-show. It should reboot and all will be good with the screen :)

Can anyone let me know if the default OS image sent with the screen works with pi2 or just Pi B/B+ as i think my screen maybe broken but can’t confirm it yet as i have not had it working at all

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).

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I have my WaveShare SpotPear 3.2″ V4 working fine on my Raspberry Pi 2. If you are having problems with this specific hardware, skip step 5.

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?

Do not follow this article when you don’t know what kind of LCD module. In my case, I follow all of this and my raspberry pi cannot boot anymore. I will try to recover, but I think I should format my SD card and reinstall OS.

Expecting this would builtin driver module within kernel and help with avoiding mistakenly overwriting anything. But with this is cause LCD screen to go blank white and no boot activity. Also noticed on HDMI it get stuck on Initial rainbow screen and stuck on that.

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.

Great tutorial thanks; got an X session working great 1st time. Has anybody managed to get Kodi/XMBC working on the LCD either Kodi standalone, Raspbmc or Xbian?

After following this tut to the letter on a brand new image of Raspian, I find that the touch driver does not function. Anyone experience the same? Basically all I did was image a current copy of rasping, did a apt-get upgrade, and then did this tutorial. Then the touch driver does not work, meaning the pointer does not respond.

The reason I did this was because on a production version of my system I added the 3.2 screen and it worked great except for the x-axis. So I wanted to see if there was something in my system that was interfering or if this is another error. Now with a raw rasping the driver does not work at all. I wonder if the touch pin has changed since the kernel is using BCM pins instead of GPIO pin numbers?

I have exactly the same problem. I also installed a new version of Raspbian, and the LCD part works fine (except all the windows are way too large), but the touch part doesn’t work at all… I’m using Waveshare Spotpear 3.2″ V4.

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.

Touch actually goes through one of the SPI pins I think. Either the driver is toast with the required kernel update or the driver is using the wrong pin. It is very likely the this works well with previous raspian versions, but not with the new B+ and with the new kernel.

I am trying to use the sainsmart 2.8″ lcd sold through microcenter, using the sainsmart32_spi … seems to have the same pinouts, should I be able to get this to work? I am stuck at the white out screen on the lcd, doesn’t seem to recognize the module either.

Unfortunately I’ve tried that ( a few times actually) but the file still doesn’t exist. Thanks very much for the assistance anyway. I must be doing something wrong. My Raspian came from a Noobs installation, I’m wondering if I should try installing the OS from somewhere else. My LCD screen didn’t come with a CD or any docs so I’m completely in the dark here.

I have the waveshare 3.5 and what to use it only as a secondary screen by putting measurement data with a c program on the screen. Is there any solution?

Ok, what am I doing wrong. I am using a fresh install of the newest raspbian, on a Pi 2. After doing the first two steps and rebooting I get the rainbow screen, then the boot up process, and then my screen just goes black with a flashing cursor in the top left. I am not able to enter any commands or anything…like the pi is halting just after boot up. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well figured out that step 1 was causing my problems. I’m guessing it is shutting off my hdmi feed and trying to switch it over to the SPI, am I guessing right? If so, not sure how I’m suppose to complete the rest of the steps if my hdmi output gets turned off before the LCD is actually set up to work…that sounds kind of smartass-like, which is not my intention, just looking for some clarification on what is going on in that first step as I am fairly new to this stuff. Thanks.

Anyway, I was able to do the rest of the steps with no problem. LCD didn’t work, but I am using a Waveshare 3.5, which doesn’t look to be supported yet. Mostly I am trying to play around and see if I can get it working somehow. Anyone found a way to do this yet?

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.

I am having an issue with getting the GUI back. Every time I use startx my pi just sits there for about two minutes saying “No protocol specified”, and then it just gives up. I went through this tutorial about four times now and am not certain why it is doing this. I have the exact same LCD as is in the tutotial (WaveShare 3.2b). any help would be great.

Hi I am making a project for school,using the raspberry pi b+ and waveshare spotpare 3.2b. Everything works except the touch input doesn’t work. Any help would be appreciated very much.

So complicated (and especially the line with myriad of hexadecimal values) that if you succed you’re a very Lucky person. Don’t do that except if you have time to kill.

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?

Thanks for the tutorial. It works, but I get the boot/command line stuff on the HDMI monitor and the LCD only comes on when I do startx. Is there a way to get everything to appear on the LCD screen?

I am trying to get this same screen to work with the image of RetroPie 2.6 and it won’t work. I have followed all the steps and nothing, please help I an kinda a noob.

I have a Tontec 7 inch touchscreen with a Raspberry Pi 2 B. After following the instructions the touch screen is functioning but not properly… The only are that works is the upper left (and only a small area of that). I tried changing the width and height in the modules but it didnt change anything. Also the xy seems to be reversed, I changed the swap_xy to 1 but again no change on the screen.

Now the OS freezes at the emulation station loading screen, and if I connect my lcd it gives me a lot of error messages which I can only see on the 3.2 inch screen.

hi i have the same screen with a raspberry pi 2 im trying to run retro pie but it wont show ..however it shows all the commands …but i cant get it to show the gui …if u guys can make an image or something please i have been in this pain for two weeks already thank you

well ,,i follow all instructions and still kernel panic ,,,,may i request from mr. Circuitbasics@Gmail.Com that have a contact with manufacture and just ask for 2-3 links for image files for different versions of pi till all this f discussions are finished,,i cant understand 10 guys said we run it and 40 guys said kernel panic ,,as an expert i did 50 times imaging and follow all changes fro this forum and other forums and still cant run it ,,,so sth is wrong …..just asking the manufacture for simple f image ,,that`s it ,,,,simpleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Damn.. I thought I was kickin ass haha. I am using the SainSmart 3.2″.. the backlight is lit up and the pi was booting and everything just fine but on the final reboot it gets hung and says “nonblocking pool is initialized” ?? No idea what that means. But it’s def just frozen at this point.. on my main screen, and just the backlight is on the SainSmart.

This was an excellent tutorial. I have gotten an output to the screen, but no touchscreen usage . I have the Waveshare SpotPear 3.2 Inch LCD V4 screen, but using Raspberry PI 2 with wheezy. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for this article. Very clear and easy . I am new in pi’s world and my 3.2″ screen is working fine. I rotate 90 º and works. I can use mouse and so on.Not problems.

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.

I actually used the driver from here http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.2inch_RPi_LCD_(B) , from a new wheezy build, did nothing except enable SPI in config, install driver, and change mmcblk0p2 to mmcblk0p6 in cmdline.txt and it all worked, no drama.

Hi I managed to set up my touch screen ok but I now have the issue that everything desktop fits fine but the windows I open are all huge and I can’t remember how to change the size and cannot see the option in desktop preferences any idea what I have to do and is it at all possible to install kodi to run through the raspbian is as this would be a lot my useful than having to keep swapping os on every boot up many thanks in advanced hope you can help me

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.

Hey! i did this and rotated it… It loads console perfectly, but when it goes into startx, i get a black background with only the wastebin/trashcan… how do i get the taskbar(or whatever that bar is called)? and the raspberry background?

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

I should add that the screen is plugged into the HDMI port and always works. The capacitive touch is driven from the USB port which also supplies power.

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.

After 4 lost days I just decided to get another screen, a Waveshare 3.2 (just like the one on this tutorial), I’ll follow these steps and see if it work for me.

I’ve followed your instructions and am only getting a white screen stil. I am using the Osoyoo 3.5 inch touchscreen from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013E0IJVE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

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 ??

I am using the same LCD and followed your tutorial. Have your tested the guide lately? Are you certain that it works? I see the boot messages on console but I get white screen as GUI starts.

Oct 16 17:38:48 spare kernel: [ 12.544859] graphics fb1: fb_ili9340 frame buffer, 320×240, 150 KiB video memory, 4 KiB DMA buffer memory, fps=50, spi0.0 at 48 MHz

After I rebooted in step 3, my raspberry pi won’t boot up again. It goes thru the process of booting and the text scrolls down and every thing says “ok”. Then instead of going to GUI it just guys to a black screen on my monitor with a blinking underscore in the top left corner. Anyway to get around this? or should I start over with a fresh disk image??

Please check out my answer, it may help you if it works. I’m not in that case but I’m assuming that the desktop environment simply doesn’t automatically start running anymore… This can be changed in the raspi-setup

Try typing ‘startx’ if you problem isn’t solved (assuming you’re using Raspbian and LXDE), it should start the desktop environment you’re used to see. What you’re seeing is the Command Line Input interface (CLI), the most basic way to interact with a computer. Hope I helped you a little

I have tried to set up waveshare 32b on my Pi B using the latest Raspian download. I learned a lot in the process using Windows Putty, Nano etc. I have repeated the setup process several times from scratch and included the corrections for possible overwriting. My Waveshare SpotPear 3.2 inch RPi LCD V4 just shows a white screen. Any suggestions?

I’d suggest that you use the included installation disk to make a clean install on another SD card to see if the screen itself works fine or not, then try to repeat the process of installation after upgrading

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.

This process worked for me except for two things. The screen only shows 25* of any page so the most important buttons are inaccessible, and now the Wifi does not work and cannot be activated where it worked fine before the reboot. Any suggestions?

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.

I am trying to get this to work with Retro Pie 3.3.1 and the Waveshare3.2″ v4 but I only get the terminal on the lcd and emulation station starts on hdmi. to get it working with retro pie i just replaced startx with emulationstation. how do i get this to work?

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.

Hi, what if you dont know the make of your screen, i purchased via Ebay, and it is unbranded, the contact speaks barely any English and keeps linking me to a custom kernal download.

what if OS is not Raspbian, any other distro like Yocto project, etc.? Could you please specify process without “rpi-update” that makes driver installation process more generic, not dedicated to Raspbian.

i installed android OS in raspberry pi 2. can i use same LCD touch screen set up for android installed raspberry pi 2 which you are used for raspbian.

Is it normal the white back light during the whole process of initializing (I suspect that during the transportation trere is a deffect)? The problem is that I missed the step #1 and I performed it at the end. Unfortunately I don’t have any monitor available right now – neither “normal”, neither LCD :))))). Is it possible turning back the system or the only option is reinstallation of the Raspbian?

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)

I’m trying to use an original Raspberry Pi model B with a cheap 3.5 inch 320×480 LCD which allegedly was manufactured to work with the Pi and has the correct fittings to fit over the GPIO pins. The operating system is the latest, downloaded yesterday and installed with NOOBS. I can’t get past step 2 of this guidance. When I reboot after using raspi-config I can see text generated as the Pi boots, then the HDMI fed screen goes blank apart from a flashing cursor in the top left hand corner. The LCD just remains white with nothing else on it. I have missed out step 1 and rebooted after step 2 and the screen functions as I would expect. Does anyone have any ideas please?

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 )

Thanks for the guide, have been doing this with my son but once we leave raspi config and reboot all we get is a black screen with a flashing white horizontal line (dash). Can you help? I have looked in the comments at the end of the article but no one else appears to have this issue.

I have a raspberry pi 2 with waveshare screenn 3.5 inches. Isn’t it the same instructions. But it isnt working, all i get is a white screen, and the red led on the pi is on. The green LED isnot working.

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?

My Rpi3 gets “ERROR: could not insert ‘spi_bcm2708’: No such device” after I enable SPI in the raspi-config.My Rpi3 is freezing on the rainbow screen after I reboot at the end of step 3. I’ve tried adding boot_delay=1 to config.txt.

if any interested, now i have a raspian image working on raspberry 3 with Waveshare 3.5, also with sdr support for dongles and FreqShow working perfectly on touch

I tried following your tutorial but I got stuck right at the first step… I enter sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf the whole screen is blank except for the command list at the bottom…

No matter what I do, I can’t get this to work. It works perfectly fine on my Pi2, but when I follow and use the guide on my Zero, I always end up with the activity LED blinking 8 times (corrupt SD/filesystem error).

I’d like to find the driver software for my 7″ LCD with touch (official Pi unit) so that I can use it in buildroot. I wanted to make sure this kernel is the one before I started digging further.

Every time I reboot after step 3 I get the rainbow screen of death (lost the kernel) and have to reimage my card and start over. Anybody had this happen and have a solution?

I started through your tutorial and completed step 3 and rebooted. After the Raspberry screen and some of the boot text on my HDMI monitor, I now have a black HDMI monitor and a white screen on my LCD. Does this mean that the bootloader was overwritten or something else is wrong? How am I supposed to enter in the proposed fixes to the bootloader, when I can’t get the RPi to boot? Do I have to interrupt the boot process at some point to reinstall the bootloader or what?

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 used this link though (smaller file ~ 50 KB, fast download) http://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/4/4b/LCD-show-161112.tar.gz and replaced LCD4-show with LCD32-show in the last line.

I’m using RasPi Zero with latest (as of last week) Jessie Raspbian. Did you run the script? If it didn’t work and you have modified other files in the process of making it work, I would recommend installing a fresh installed image on a new card and running the script. Can you suspect the screen being faulty or got “burned” in the process?

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!

I have done every thing right but the only major problem is that the screen is still white and my raspberrypi freezes after a line of code when booting up and I cant get in with SSH

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

I know I will end up regretting this, but how do I change fb0 to fb1? I’m on the screen that has all the info, but no way to change it. Am I looking for a file? I have had my screen for MONTHS and I can’t do anything with my pi or the screen. I am >< close to smashing both. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY so far!!

so you have to use your computer’s arrow keys. then you overwrite the 0 with a 1 then you have to move your arrow so it’s on top of the ” and then delete the 0 that was there.

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

I ‘m actually using a LCD Waveshare3.2” , I followed your steps to setup the lcd touchscreen for my rpi and it work but I have a problem with the resolution because if I open a repertory I do not see the whole contents on the screen .

hi! thank you for this post…. I was wondering if all the raspberry pi’s gpio are being held by this screen or do we have any of those availables for use??

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?

hey Thanks for this good post …I have capacitive touchscreen which i brought from the link below..can you guide how i can configure the kernel modules…It will be very helpful for me…Thanks

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:

HI I have my RPI running Pi Presents on a view sonic TD2230 Touchscreen. It all works fine, touching the click areas can navigate you thru my presentation, The problem arises when you use multitouch gestures like you would on a iPhone. Pinch or expand etc… and then all touch ability goes away. I can still control the presentation via a mouse, but I don’t get touch control back until I either relaunch Pi Presents, or if I unplug and plug the usb cable going to the touchscreen.

Could you provide me with a os image of open elec that you already built for the waveshare spotpear v4 3.2 inch touchscreen,because I cannot make sense of your website’s instructions?

In the case of the WaveShare driver, their setup script from their “LCD_show” repository will copy a device-tree overlay to /boot/overlays/ that provides most of the module config etc via boot-time device-tree patch.

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.

I orderer a 3.5″ SPI touchscreen with a Raspberry Pi 2 and a case, thinking it would be easy to set up, as it seemed to be like the one here. Unfortunately that was not the case.

With some googling I found out it was made by KeDei LCD and exactly this screen. Identifying strings on the screens were “Madei in KeDei of china”, “3.5 linch SPI TFTLCD”, “480*320 16bit/18bit” and “vision 1.0 2015/6/11”. I hope the guys who made this screen can write code better than english… Seems like it requires custom drivers by KeDei. Drivers could be downloaded from Baidu and they include the diff to compile your custom kernel. I haven’t compiled kernels before, so lets see if I could manage without doing that.

I downloaded drivers and installed them in a fresh installation of Raspbian. They worked, somewhat at least. I could see console in the screen and also LXDE started in it. However it seemed to override HDMI output completely, as it was /dev/fb0 and no other framebuffers were present. Touchscreen appeared in /dev/input/event0, but I couldn’t get it respond. Probably the touch sensor is defective, as the glass on the screen also had a crack. I did get a free resend however, so I’ll see whether it was defective hardware.

The drivers replaced current kernel with a custom 3.18.x version with drivers in it, so you can’t update kernel if using that method. Perhaps I should try to compile more recent kernel with drivers.

I installed Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro on an external hard drive (which is a whole another story, thanks to EFI), so I could follow instructions on Raspberry Pi pages. Compiling on RPi is quite slow (tried that overnight), so cross compiling is the way to go. Following the instructions worked pretty well, however I cloned tools to my home directory and added /home/heikki/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin to my path. After that everything worked as expected. After cloning and changing branch to rpi-4.1.y I patched semi-manually from the supplied diff from KeDei, however I have uploaded my updated diff to make it easier for you. There’s instructions on patching too, but long story short it’s “cat | patch -p1” in the base directory of the clone. The version I used was branch rpi-4.1.y, commit 785cea66a709eddb9858799192a7b7da566b44b0.

Update: I accidentally updated kernel with apt-get, so I tried to compile the kernel to the latest. However I noticed the patch missed a whole file, which belongs to drivers/video/fbdev/ and is attached here: ili9341.c.I still couldn’t get it right, so I just installed the previously compiled kernel.

You should now have two framebuffer devices, /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1. I’m not quite sure how the fbtft library interferes with the patch, as it seems to be activated too, but it works so no problem. (Actually I first activated module fb_ili9341, so you can try that too, if it contributed to my success). You can change to console to fb1 by command “con2fbmap 1 1” and back with “con2fbmap 1 0“, or on boot by editing /boot/cmdline.txt: add “fbcon=map:1” to the line somewhere. You can also change the font with “fbcon=font:ProFont6x11“. More things like this here.

The framerate on this screen is really slow, something like 0.5 secs to refresh the screen, so no video playback on this screen. For simple GUIs probably quite sufficient. Haven’t tried whether backlight can be controlled, probably not, so always on.

I’ll test the touchscreen with custom kernel later when I get the new unit. The touchscreen driver seems to be added (/dev/input/event2 for me with Logitech keyboard/mouse connected), so it might work.

I had in plans to create a custom driver but I decided this is not worth my time. I"m going to "re-interface" this lcd to be supported by fbtft. I have a prototype pcb with fbtft-spi interface ready (I have to send this project to pcb prototype service).

Unfortunatly, because of my "spider-circuit" I"ve broken my lcd (I"ve made a some short
