Volumio on touch screen

Help and Support Help
41

Volumio uses an striped and slimmed version of the kernel to make it play audio as optimal as possible.
Apparently there are some differences in volumio for the different platforms.

— EDIT —
On page 2, they switched back to 1.41 for the Raspberry pi. It isn’t working on 1.5(1)

Hi,

I bought this from dealextreme:

eud.dx.com/product/844364780

Any chance to get this working with Volumio?
What do you think?

43

is it now possible to run a touchscreen with Volumio 1.5 and a Raspberry Pi 2?

regards

44

I just stumbled across your posts and Instructable page.
I would like to know where I can download ver 1.41 since the new version does not seem to work for me.

Thank you

Hello.

I want to add touchscreen to my pi. I have read un page 2 the solution is to load the webui with chromium. Is there any solution to change or modify this interface with an another more friendly ? With more informations and cover art for exemple.

Last question, this solution is it fonctionnal for all touchsceeen brands?

Thanks.

Got same objective as above to use piTFT 2.8 and Rapsberry 2 and hifiberry DAC.

I would suggest waiting for Volumio 2 since its a big update and fixes the apt-get upgrade problem so you could use apt-get to install drivers and such. It should be a little easier with apt-get and the modules. more people want to add a local screen so a good solution (module) would be welcome.

Sure, it will be easy in Volumio 2 :wink:
But by waiting, have a look here http://forum.audiophonics.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1501&p=5672#p5672 (ok it’s in french). But it works!

Install LCD driver support

sudo REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware rpi-update sudo reboot

Set LCD console and font

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

Add at the end of the line

fbcon=map:1 fbcon=font:ProFont6x11

Add touchscreen to boot config

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Add these lines

gpu_mem=128 dtoverlay=ads7846,speed=500000,penirq=17,swapxy=1

Add in LCD kernal modules

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add these 2 lines. First one is huge, second line starts at “fbtft_device…”

Create .Xauthority file

sudo touch /home/pi/.Xauthority

Install X server

sudo apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xinit libx11-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev xinput evtest autoconf -y

Reconfigure the Xwrapper.config file in order to allow all users to start the X server.

[code]sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common

         Select Anybody in the popup menu[/code]

Edit/create the X LCD device

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf

Either change fb0 to fb1
or if file doesn’t exist add these lines

[code]Section “Device”
Identifier “Allwinner A10/A13 FBDEV”
Driver “fbturbo”
Option “fbdev” “/dev/fb1”

    Option          "SwapbuffersWait" "true"

EndSection
[/code]

Create X touchscreen calibration

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

Add these lines

Section "InputClass" Identifier "calibration" MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen" Option "Calibration" "3900 240 240 3900" EndSection

Define input device?

sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-input.conf

Install lightdm window manager

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends lightdm (q to quit) q

Install X fbturbo driver

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install git build-essential xorg-dev xutils-dev x11proto-dri2-dev sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install libltdl-dev libtool automake libdrm-dev git clone https://github.com/ssvb/xf86-video-fbturbo.git cd xf86-video-fbturbo autoreconf -vi ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install

Enable SPI and disable boot to desktop

[code]sudo raspi-config

Advanced Option > A5 SPI Enable/Disable automatic loading > Yes > Ok
Enable Boot to Desktop > Console Text console, requiring login
Finish
Would you like to reboot now? > Yes[/code]

Install web browser

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install iceweasel

Configure Volumio browser window to start with X

sudo nano /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Add just below the line # global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx), paste the following string

exec iceweasel -fullscreen -url http://localhost

Don’t really know what this does :slight_smile:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/

Autostart X on boot

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and paste the following lines just before the last command exit 0:

su -l root -c startx & su pi & export DISPLAY=:0.0

Once happy browser starts on boot’ Install xul-ext-fullscreen if you want a ‘fullscreen’ kiosk-mode then reboot
Browser will show an Add this Installation message to allow the full-screen add-on, click on Continue and then on Restart Iceweasel.
Very likely to need another reboot for it to display properly

sudo apt-get install xul-ext-fullscreen -y

Install unclutter to hide your mouse cursor after few seconds of inactivity

sudo apt-get install unclutter -y

Hope that helps people

Cheers

What’s the default Debian user and password when lightdm is loaded? I’m trying to get to the lxde, but can’t ever get back to the terminal session once the Debian 8 splash creen is displayed.
