Downloaded the image from here. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi/easy-install
There is a big green icon that says „Download PiTFT 2.4″ and 2.8″ Resistive Image for Pi 1 and Pi 2 (September 9, 2015)“
Unzip it and I used Rufus to put it on a SD card.
Then go to get a „install_max2play.sh“ script I clicked Raw and copy and paste it. So log in with putty with user pi and password raspberry and type „nano“ and enter and paste it in there. It takes a little time but the hole text will show up. I chmod it 777 so „chmod 777 install_max2play.sh“ then backup a folder with „..“ and typed /root/install_max2play.sh
Go to http://max2play and it will have a update. I expanded the file system 1ST.
Reboot and update Max2play from 1.0 to 2.21 as of today.
Reboot it.
Put in your e-mail and location. Then go the the plug in and install Jivelite. That takes a little time. Set it to Autostart and save. Got to start it too the 1st time.
Then it can see it on the little screen. It lets you pick a size but all are in HD. I have not found a 320×240 yet for it. I guess there is some way to set that.
Don’t download the „Raspberry Pi Touch Display: Easy Install & Setup of Touch Displays 2,8″ and 3.2″ I did and it will make the screen just be wight with no image again.
Then in the Jivelite tab click „Install Choosen Skin“ there is only one the „Port for 2.8″ 320×240 Adafruit LCD (QVGATouchSkin by bogdandumitru)“
Then on the screen can see it. The top of the desktop is still there. But it works. I guess that’s the best can do with this PiTFT Touch screen.
One other thing can’t start Squeezelite have to „Edit Advanced Options“ It’s on:
„default – bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA – Default Audio Device, CARD=ALSA“
Change it to:
„Sysdefault – bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA – Default Audio Device, CARD=ALSA“
Not sure why they look the same. But now Squeezelite will start when you pick the „Sysdefault“
Can get full screen too! Under the „jivelite“ tab click the box to „Autohide Panel (taskbar) and set Jivelite to Fullscreen:“ stop and start Jivelite and now have full screen!
Seen in the /boot/config.txt this one line for the display I have.
# --- added by adafruit-pitft-helper Wed Sep 9 21:44:12 UTC 2015 --- [pi1] device_tree=bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtbPut my other SD card in were I was trying to set up Max2Play with this display and never got it working.
Put that line in the /boot/config.txt file and rebooted. At lest this time the display did not stay wight it turn black but nothing on it.
So I looked up that line and came to adafruit web page.
Just had to type in 4 commands they showed like this:
curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add-pin | sudo bash apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader apt-get install adafruit-pitft-helper adafruit-pitft-helper -t 28rRebooted and now it works with this adafruit PiTFT 320×240 2.8″ Resistive touch screen. http://adafru.it/2298 that’s the display I have. I thought it was the same they 2.8 one they had here. But I was wrong.
