Has any one been able to get this screen working? Please help.
26. Februar 2016 at 11:38 #18769Hi thewirewizard,
we have no experience with this specific screen. However, if somebody knows how to get the screen working with Max2Play, please share the necessary steps with us here.

27. Februar 2016 at 13:23 #18801Hi !
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.
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.27. Februar 2016 at 16:03 #18804Do you mean

I suppose that for your 3.5 Inch version you could follow this guide:

The custom skin that can be installed from the web interface for 2,8 adafruit is 320×240. However, you can add other skins in Jivelite, here I mention the path: https://www.max2play.com/forums/topic/oberflaechenanpassung-jivelite/#post-236275. Dezember 2016 at 0:08 #24544Hello,
Can anyone who has got this screen to work, explain how they did it please?
Thanks
Paul

16. Januar 2017 at 21:46 #25991You misunderstood me I managed to get the screen to work with touch but not on max2play.
11. März 2017 at 22:05 #27591I 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-showAfter 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.luaand 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 tonight11. März 2017 at 23:25 #27596I manage to use a (knock-off) WaveShare 3.5 (Version A).

EDIT2: This skin is perfectly working.10. April 2017 at 14:06 #28057Hi,
thanks for all the help. Screen work well (no skin test). But I have a hifi berry amp + and when the screen run, it’s not possible to run squeezelite… If a new installation of squeezelite is done, the screen don’t work…
Any idea ?9. Juli 2017 at 18:07 #29861Thank you, I try to add „-C 10“ in Command Line Options
but nothing, is it a bad way ?
Dohchoucha10. Juli 2017 at 17:56 #29878Are there other parameters in your command line options?
19. Juli 2017 at 15:24 #29964Hi 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.)
4. Februar 2018 at 14:03 #33837Hi guys, sorry if i answer on this old topix,but i would like to know if these wavehouse display are compatible or not!i m interesting about a display 5 touch without high prices!!
6. Februar 2018 at 17:37 #33891Hi antonio,
According to this post, at least one of them is working well.
10. Juli 2018 at 11:59 #36503Hello Sorg,
Thanks for the display guide.
i was looking for jivelite-wav.zip but the file is not in the web directory anymore.
( the original link was http://pughx2.com/assets/px2/files/jivelite-wav.zip)Is there a posibillity to get the file through this forum? google did not give any other result then the original link.
Maybe you or someone on the forum still has the file. I don’t know if there any copyrights on it?Through this forum i have managed to get a cheap 3.5 display working under max2play and i like to have the 480×320 skin for it.
thanks guys.
17. Oktober 2018 at 14:09 #38661Hello, Heiner. Seems, that you see something different than me.
Now I see this
https://ibb.co/jtNQVf
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 #
