I'm still upside down!

Help and Support

Added Volumio to a Rpi 4b and got the touchscreen/program working (yay!), but it’s upside down, which I see is a common problem. I enabled SSH and using Putty, I added:

display_lcd_rotate=2 via sudo nano /boot/config.txt then: ctrl-x, saved etc. (as described in several searches) and rebooted

but still upside down? I’m sure I’ve left out a step…took me two hours just to get this far :slightly_smiling_face:

In the touch display plugin, there’s a setting to rotate display.
Please check

Please…
Don’t manually edit the /boot/config.txt. Read the first 2 lines, it’s not there to fill the file.

### DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE ###
### APPLY CUSTOM PARAMETERS TO userconfig.txt ###

There are 2 plugins to do the hard labor for you:
Setup a display: Plugins => System Hardware => Pi Screen Setup
Add Volumio kiosk: Plugins => User Interface => Touch Display

  • Please reflash your SD, to avoid all manual changes keep causing troubles
  • Install “Pi Screen Setup” first and configure your screen, including the correct rotation
  • Restart
  • Install “Touch Display”. Most likely nothing else is needed for your screen rotation

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Since I am brand new to this RPi environment (and thus Volumio), is there a good “START HERE” site? It seems that all I can find on searches are hit-and-miss suggestions on how to do things. I have not seen anything like your answer to this issue and would like to learn more.

I can only recommend one thing: start reading the forum topics.

Installing Volumio as an OS is basically a DIY project, so expect a bit of tinkering along the way. The official starting point is here:

After that… welcome to the rabbit hole.

  • 12 different Raspberry Pi boards
  • 800+ possible x86 devices
  • 120+ audio HATs
  • And an endless selection of USB DACs
  • Topped by many many different screens (DPI. DSI, HDMI,…)

At that point, a single “one-size-fits-all” (400k possible combinations) tutorial? Yeah… not happening :smile:

The good news: the community forum (which you already found) is packed with thousands of enthusiasts who’ve been down the same rabbit hole—and are usually more than happy to help you navigate it.
