[PLUGIN] Touch Display

Plugins
1584

No. For UI and Peppy-meter-Basic (now turned off) it’s useless.
But I can test. What parameters to check?
dtoverlay=piscreen,speed=16000000,drm,rotate=0

1585

In my opinion, that would be a good starting value.

1586

Boot logo good, Volumio UI do not shows.

1587

Is the screen black or white?

1588

Black. (Dark)
White-Black-Boot-White-Black-No UI on black.

1589

You may try some other speed values e.g. 18000000, 24000000 or even 32000000.

BTW: Did you see any error message from the Touch Display plugin?

1590

dtparam=spi=on
display_auto_detect=1
dtoverlay=piscreen,speed=32000000,drm,rotate=0

No errors, no UI, small text at the bottom of the boot screen bad quality. And the green marks in the letters O turned orange.
This is a dead end. Speed only spoils quality.

1591

Haha, OK. At least with the “tft35a” overlay the UI is displayed. Many thanks for testing.

Hi,
I bought this display but I can’t get the touchscreen to work.
Maybe someone has a solution?

1593

Well you might provide us with some information, just dropping a screen isn’t much helpfull.

  • Your connected to a Raspberry, x86?
  • Which exact version of volumio are you running and please don’t say the latest
  • What is the output of:
    cat /boot/config.txt
    cat /boot/userconfig.txt

1598

WebUI …

1599

I reinstalled everything
including the screenTouch plugin and now I have a graphical screen on the display
but the touchscreen doesn’t work.

1600

@gvolt

Any suggestions to make the touch part operational?

1601

Maybe try changing the USB cable for the touchscreen. (Also change the USB input port on the RPi)

1602

Everything’s working now. Only when you mentioned that USB was needed did I see that the screen wasn’t connected.
Thanks for the help.

Hi! Thanks for the warm welcome :blush:
Here’s all the info you asked for to help untangle my “screen salad”

• Volumio Version:
Volumio 3.569

• Screen Info - It’s Just One Monitor!
I know it sounded like multiple devices, but it’s actually just one single screen:
• 8.8 inch HDMI display, resolution 1920x480
• Touchscreen panel, USB-powered
• Designed for PC, Raspberry Pi, AIDA64
• Often called a temperature/status display or secondary dashboard monitor
• Very wide aspect ratio (~21:5)
• Connected via HDMI (for video) and USB (for touch)
