Support for Sharewave 3.5 LCD Touchscreen

Hi !

I’ve find a big tuto. It’s ok with touchscreen control panel control chip XPT2046 (like this one ). Everything is ok for me now 🙂

I hope max2play staff will integrate these changes in future releases.

How to Setup an LCD Touchscreen on the Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Calibration and Screen Rotation

You need to apply it more to make it work:

nano /boot/config.txt
after the last entry:
dtoverlay=ads7846,speed=500000,penirq=17,swapxy=1
Press Ctrl-X then Y to exit nano and save the changes.

nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Section „InputClass“
Identifier „evdev touchscreen catchall“
MatchIsTouchscreen „on“
MatchDevicePath „/dev/input/event*“
Driver „evdev“
Option „InvertY“ „true“
EndSection
Press Ctrl-X then Y to exit nano and save the changes.

HI,
I try to make work 3.5 waveshare on rpi 3 + hifiberry amp+. I’m following this tuto http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A)#Driver
I install skin for 2.8.
Trying to run jivelite, but it don’t work :ERROR jivelite.ui.draw – jiveL_initSDL:204 SDL_Init(V|T|A): Unable to open a console terminal
Ok, the screen start but, only white lines…
have you an idea
thnaks

I’ve noticed the 3.5″ screen has a 320×480 resolution.
Is that 2.8″ skin 320×480 ?

Hello,

Can anyone who has got this screen to work, explain how they did it please?

Thanks

Paul

Yes. Both of these Waveshare 5′ displays

I manage to use a (knock-off) WaveShare 3.5 (Version A).
I bought it on Aliexpress .

I followed the Method 1 described here: http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A)

After unpacking the driver file (http://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/4/4b/LCD-show-161112.tar.gz)
I ran the installer:
sudo ./LCD35-show

After rebooting, i can see the screen displaying the startup log, but X was not starting.
After investigating Xorg.0.log, i understand that for some reason the X display module is not working.
I found the following workaround.
I modified the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
replacing the line
Driver „fbturbo“
with
Driver „fbdev“

After rebooting, I can see the desktop.

I have been able to run JiveLite.
Unfortunately, the available skin are not optimized for the 480×320 display.
2 options here:
– You can use the skin for adafruit 2.8 . but it the skin will use only 2/3 of the available screen area.
– You can tweak Joggler for our screen resolution:
edit the following file:
/opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin/JogglerSkinApplet.lua

and modify line 290
Framework:setVideoMode(480, 320, 0, false)

The modified joggler is not perfect, but it is working.
i am still looking for a skin dedicated to 480×320 resolution.
EDIT: Found this one : http://www.pughx2.com/assets/px2/files/jivelite-wav.zip (see complete how-to here http://www.pughx2.com/pitouch.html)
I will try it tonight

Hi sorg

Thank for your contribution in the forum.

Hi dohchoucha,

Please try adding the parameter -C 10 to Squeezelite.

Are there other parameters in your command line options?

Hi dohchoucha,

Were you able to save this setting and if so what output did you get afterwards?

Also, please check whether you have any other audio players running beside Squeezelite (shairport, MPD, Spotify Connect, etc.)

Hi antonio,

According to this post, at least one of them is working well.

where is my post???

Hello, Heiner. Seems, that you see something different than me.

Now I see this

Yesterday my post was here, but after editing it is gone.
But there was this one:
Hello.

I have done it right now (based on m2p_stretch_rpi_245.img). Steps are included driver installation for Sharewave 3.5 LCD (I have bought this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-3-5-Inches-Touch-Screen-Display-Monitor-480×320-LCD-Kit/32837597848.html )

$ wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/1/1e/LCD-show-180817.tar.gz
$ tar xvf LCD-show-180817.tar.gz
$ cd LCD-show
$ chmod +x LCD35-show
$ ./LCD35-show

#after installing of packages and automatic rebooting LCD works, but it is needed to change Driver#

$ sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
#replace the line Driver „fbturbo“ with Driver „fbdev“, then ctrl+o, ctrl=x#
$ sudo reboot

#After that desktop\jivelite should work#

Regarding jivelite skin for 480×320 resolution:

$ cd /opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper
$ sudo rm SetupWallpaperApplet.lua
$ sudo rm SetupWallpaperMeta.lua
$ sudo rm strings.txt
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/SetupWallpaperApplet.lua
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/SetupWallpaperMeta.lua
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/strings.txt
$ sudo mkdir /tempimage
$ cd
$ sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/picoreplayer/beta/pcp-jivelite_wav35skin.tcz
$ sudo mount -o loop pcp-jivelite_wav35skin.tcz /tempimage
$ cd /tempimage/opt/jivelite/share/jive
$ sudo cp -a applets /opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/
$ sudo reboot

#After that you can choose „WAV 3.5 in LCD Skin“ in Settings\Screen\Select Skin #
