So far I was using Volumio V2.x.x and wanted to update to Volumio V4.x.x. However, with V2.x.x and the userconfig.txt I have used so far V2.x.x works fine after installing the Touch plugin. With Volumio V 4.x.x I can not get the Touchscreen to work using the same userconfig.txt after installing the Touch plugin. Volumio V4.x.x I can only use with the control over the PC and IP address. My touchscreen is an Waveshare 11.9". What goes wrong here. If there is any additional information necessary, please let me know.
For starters… what went wrong?
Apparently, the mystical powers of the search function on this forum remain undiscovered by many. It’s like a hidden treasure chest, one click and poof! magical answers appear, ready to save the day.
Using the config data for Pi 4 the touch screen on my Pi 3 still does not work. I had used the search function, but there was no solution for a Pi 3 that´s why I open this thread. Sorry, forgot to mention that I only have a Pi 3.
Hey @rometrip,
The Pi model is rather crucial information when configuring display drivers, much like mentioning you’re allergic to peanuts before someone hands you a Snickers.
A simple Google search for “Raspberry Pi 3 dtoverlay vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 equivalent” would have handed you the answer on a silver platter - sometimes the search game needs levelling up before the forum game.
Worry not - did this search for you:
The Pi 4 configuration uses a Pi 4-specific graphics driver overlay. Your Pi 3 needs a different approach.
The difference:
Pi 4 uses:
[pi4]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
Pi 3 uses:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
No [pi4] section marker. No -pi4 suffix.
Your Pi 3 userconfig.txt for the 11.9 inch display:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffer_height=1480
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 0 80 16 32 1480 0 16 4 12 0 0 0 60 0 42000000 3
#### Touch Display rotation setting below: do not alter ####
display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1
The cmdline.txt additions remain identical to the guide.
For future reference, when troubleshooting display issues, always lead with: Pi model, display model, and OS version. It saves everyone a round trip - pun entirely intended.
Kind Regards,
Thank you very much for your support. I had it up and running, however the power of the Pi 3 is not enough and e.g. the startup takes a long time and also the reaction to an change request is very slow. So I changed back to V 2.x.x of Volumio.
