Display 5" for Volumio Sparky with Allo DAC 2.1

Hi,

I´ve build a DYI Audio with Allo 2.1, based on Volumio4Sparky, with Isolator board, Reclocker, Volt and Attenuator. Works great!

Unfortunately, I´m not able to bring my LCD to live. It´s a 5" Display; I don´t want to touch just to see the UI; nothing else.

Connected via HDMI. Testing with MoodeAudio, it works (on Raspberry PI). But I´d like to use Volumio on Sparky and the only issue is the Display. I truly believe, I´m not alone on this planet with this request, hopefully :slight_smile:

Guys, out there: Can you help please?

Thank you for your support,
Udo

Hi Udo,
you need to download the touch screen plugin and do some minor tweaks after that like documented in this post.
Note that it will disable the screensaver (without touch you would not be able to re-activate), so potential burn-in is your risk :wink:
You may have to tweak the boot config also in case the resolution is lower than 1080p (most likely for a 5")

Thx for the swift reply. Looks much better but still not perfect…

So, right now it´s working with my huge 65" TV. Still on HighRes, but working.
I was wondering, how to set the right resolution for the 5" Display. In Raspberry´s config.txt it´s not a big deal; but with the sparky image it looks different with /boot/config-3.10.38-2017.12.22-12.27 and uenv.txt etc.

Any experience with that?

Thank you for your support,
Udo
