[PLUGIN] Touch Display

Thanks! But since the touch function has fortunately been working since the USB cable was changed, this was no longer necessary. :grinning:

Thanks gvolt, another question dev. I’m having a hard time to fix this and i don’t know what’s the real problem. The touch screen function is fine. however, i don’t if the spotify and webradio is compatible with the latest prototype volumio image.
Can you check this video. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pFpY-JjTXFEp2CZdiCatI0E-EZ5aETA-/view?usp=drivesdk

Sorry, I can’t help with your spotify and webradio issues. Also, as suggested earlier, I recommend to open a dedicated thread for these issues since this thread is about the Touch Display plugin. :wink:

Ohh isee gvolt, thank you so much for your help.

Nowhere in this thread (which is about the Touch Display plugin :wink:), but probably somewhere here.

Thanks gvolt! Another question can i? I don’t know how to enable the keyboard so i can type to log the google that spotify required or do i need to post on the spotify thread?

Take a look here:

Hi wheaten! It’s been a while.
I just want to ask you how to fix this, I’m having a hard time to install touch display plugin on raspberry pi 4 model b 2gb with a latest version 3.669. My internet is connected to router direct wire. And my internet speed is pretty good. I set test mode on.
After configuring the webui, i set my time-date and set the parameters also.
Then after installing the plugin this is showing on my laptop screen.

Hi,
Seems I need some help.
Running a waveshare 2.8Inch DSI IPS screen.
Wiki: Waveshare 2.8 inch, DSI, IPS

Added to userconfig.txt:

# Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,2_8_inch
#### Touch Display rotation setting below: do not alter ####
display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1

So far so good. Layout is rotated correct (90deg), but the touchscreen is acting weird.
The rotation of the touch orientation is correct, but I can only use it for about 70% of the screen width.
The area in the red box;

Installed xinput-calibrator, but the calibration is failing as I can’t calibrate the right part:

Any suggestion?

I haven’t had time to take a closer look, but it might be related to this issue.

Why do you aways find something useful?
It seems this is the case indeed, need to look into this, where to modify this within Volumio.

Thanks!!

it’s been fixed on kernel 6.6

you can download this file, rename it to “vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel-fixed.dtbo” and place it on /boot/overlays

then you can use this fixed overlay changing the declaration in userconfig.txt

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel-fixed,2_8_inch

Darn, love the community.

Dario is faster than I can read. Yeah I know that’s nothing new, he does it all the time…
But yes that fixed the stuff.

Thanks @gvolt for pointing me in the correct direction
Thanks @Darmur for giving the solution, faster than I could read the topic.

So… i have set my volumio unit to turn off screen after 2 hours of inactivity (via the touch screen plugin)
To wake it up again i just start playing a song, and after aprox. 10 seconds the display turns on again…
The problem is that after that the display doesn’t turn off again after 2 hours of inactivity but stays on for days or until i turn off or restarts my unit.
Ant fix for this or am i doing something wrong? =)

Please provide some more information:

  1. What Volumio version are you using?
  2. What is the Touch Display plugin version?
  3. What is the brand and exact model name of the display?
  4. What hardware is Volumio running on?
  5. Does the same issue occur if you set a shorter time (e.g. 20 min.) to switch off the screen?

1.Latest version volumio
2.Latest vetsion touch display
3.Display is 7.9" waveshare
4.Volumio running on Rpi4 with IQ audio pro dac
5. No, dont matter what time i set it to

Thx !

Instead of “latest” please give the concrete version numbers.

ad 1: 3.695?

ad 2: 3.4.0?

HDMI or DSI?

Volumio version 3.703
Touch Display version 3.40
Display is HDMI

But i had this problem with previous versions also !
