I copied the archive from the flash drive to Malinka, it is not unpacked and does not open at all. I generally do not understand how to be. But after rebooting the black screen is all the same! I clicked all the files and still there is no image.
Please Help. I get an error message every time I boot monitor after Install. Monitor works, but the system does not boot up. Hi Smat, Please install the version 4. I feel like I want to return my display now. My display is working with my R-Pi3b module.
This is going to be disadvantaged for new customers and for the business!! New way to install 3. I have the screen version rpi 6. It has the 3.
I downloaded the drivers — and installed as per your instructions. The screen has come to life — however — all I get is 4 Raspberries in the top left corner.
Setting it higher removes this error — but still nothing else. You must be logged in to post a comment. Login Register. Balance Car. Install Raspberry Pi 3. December 3, at am. Log in to Reply.

Here is a good article explaining Linux kernel modules, devices, and drivers , which you may want to read for some background information.
The standard version of Raspbian does not include the drivers for LCD touchscreens, so we will need to install and configure them manually. The Pi communicates with the touchscreen through SPI serial peripheral interface. By default, SPI communication is disabled, so you need to enable it. Enter this at the command prompt to edit the file:. Remove the spi-bcm driver from the blacklist by commenting out the line that says blacklist spi-bcm Enter this at the command prompt:.
The file should now look like this:. Note: As of the release of Raspbian, the fbturbo drivers are now included and enabled by default. So skip this step if your Raspbian OS was released or later. Now you need to download and install the drivers and kernel modules that are needed to run the LCD touchscreen.
After the drivers have downloaded and installed, reboot the Pi by entering sudo reboot. So enter this at the command prompt:. The first term of each line in this file is the name of a kernel module that will be loaded automatically at boot time. The terms after the name of the kernel module on each line are called parameters , and parameters can be changed to adjust the properties of each kernel module. The file should look something like this now:. If you are not using the Waveshare 3.
It is equivalent to BIOS in other systems, and contains lots of useful options for configuring your system at boot time. Similarly to what was done in step 4 above, if you are not using the Waveshare 3. The final step is to setup the Pi to load startx automatically and boot to the GUI. If you would rather boot to the command prompt, just skip this step. Now add su -l pi -c startx above the line that says exit 0 :. At the command prompt, enter sudo raspi-config.
Now exit the raspi-config menu. It is probably due to your Pi being overclocked at turbo speed or Pi 2 speed. Try the high setting or lower to fix this. Some people have reported that after updating and upgrading, the LCD touchscreen stops working. To prevent this from happening, update and upgrade by:. Updating all packages except for the Raspberry Pi bootloader by entering this at the command prompt:. Then, updating the Raspberry Pi bootloader independently by entering this at the command prompt:.
If your drivers have been accidentally overwritten, they can be restored without having to go through the entire installation process again. Just enter this at the command prompt:. More information about this issue can be found here. Continue on to the next article Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Calibration and Screen Rotation to find out how to change the screen orientation of your Raspberry Pi and calibrate the touchscreen for the best accuracy.
If you have any problems setting up your Raspberry Pi LCD touchscreen, please leave a comment below and I will try to help you solve it…. Please share this if you found it useful, and subsribe to get more tutorial like this in your inbox!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This seems to solve the problem:. To update all packages except the bootloader, enter this at the command prompt: sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade.
Ive tried it on the new RPi 2 today but had no joy. What type of the LCD you have. My is waveshare spotpear 3. I just tested this, and it looks like the difference is how SPI is enabled. I just updated the post so it should work now! Looks like the only difference is in how SPI is enabled. In the new release of Raspbian, SPI is enabled in the raspi-config menu under advanced settings. In older versions of Raspbian, it is enabled by commenting out the line in the blacklist file.
This is great, only issue is that something in step 5 is crashing the device, and every time I have to reinstall the OS and start fresh.
Have you tested to make sure the screen is working by using the image provided by the manufacturer? I have the waveshare spotpear 3. This link helped me in simple 4 steps, with out having to edit any system file. This applies to Osoyoo 3. I burned it to the SD card and plugged in the display. But my lcd is completly blank. Why my LCD is Blank? I had the same problem. Green Led was blinking and screen was white.
I plugged into different port and it started. Newer screens might not have drivers yet. Really useful How To thanks very much, and thanks to Dabomber60 as his updated cmdline. My Touchscreen is now working fine.
The problem was for the ribbon cable on the back side of LCD. It was not connected properly. I just tighted the cable and it worked fine. Hope it will be useful tip. It restarts after i execute sudo shutdown -h -P now command.
What is the reason? Buttons can be accessed directly via GPIO. On my WaveShare SpotPear 3. BCM and pin addressing consistently. Thank you for this great tutorial. I looked everywhere for this information. I have an eleduino 3. I was able to get it working on my Pi 2 by following your tutorial and using flexfb as the screen type. I got the other settings from the image that came with the product. What other settings are you speaking of?
Where are they on the image? Just got my Pi2 running Wheezy, working with the Eleduino 3. I tried the steps in this tutorial. Only got white screen. Unzipped it and looked around. From a shell script inside i kinda figured out what it was doing. Still in OEM archive directory cp -R. Screen started working!! Maybe someone can help answer it.
Thank very much!!! Did you check to see if your device is supported yet? The device name should be specific for your screen, as listed in the fbtft file linked to in the beginning of the post. I too have a raspberry pi 2, and a waveshare spotpear 3. Soon as the pi is powered, the LCD lights up all white, with a few vertical pixels coloured at one of the edges, and nothing else. Only fb0 appears to be there. I have enabled SPI is there a command to tell if its enabled?
Any ideas what going wrong? Enabled SPI. Even changed mmcblk0p2 to mmcblk0p6 as suggested by Dabomber60 but that freezes for me. It seems all appears to be working — just the LCD is still all white with a single line of coloured pixels on edge and nothing else. Is there a way to output, like jeff G script, of touch points? It should reboot and all will be good with the screen :. Really trying hard to get my v4 WaveShare SpotPear 3.
My LCD appears to be just all white except on edge appears to be different coloured pixels. Get fresh image and follow steps in this tutorial, which should work. Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. However, I still have a little problem with my LCD display. LCD display of Sainsmart 3. The LCD display shows the raspberry correctly. However, the touch screen input does not work. The mouse pointer can I move correctly with your finger, but I can not select things function of the left mouse button.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I have my WaveShare SpotPear 3. If you are having problems with this specific hardware, skip step 5. Many thanks for your response.
But leave out of step 5, does not change the function. The problem still exists. In my case, I follow all of this and my raspberry pi cannot boot anymore. Expecting this would builtin driver module within kernel and help with avoiding mistakenly overwriting anything. But with this is cause LCD screen to go blank white and no boot activity.
Also can you someone explain what exactly happen when do rpi-update? Want to understand what this step actualy doing and help me to debug any such situation and able to help others. Does anyone tried splash boot screen with waveshare v4 LCD and Rpi2?
Great tutorial thanks; got an X session working great 1st time. Please could you backup and upload your SD card image? I cant make mine work using this tutorial and it would help me a lot. I always end up on kernel panic. Could anyone post a working image please? After following this tut to the letter on a brand new image of Raspian, I find that the touch driver does not function. Anyone experience the same? Basically all I did was image a current copy of rasping, did a apt-get upgrade, and then did this tutorial.
Then the touch driver does not work, meaning the pointer does not respond. The reason I did this was because on a production version of my system I added the 3.
So I wanted to see if there was something in my system that was interfering or if this is another error. Now with a raw rasping the driver does not work at all. I have exactly the same problem. Can this have damaged the screen? I do not think that has anything to do with it. Other than power pins, the rest are communication. If it still works then you are good.
No, there is something else. I do suspect it us related to the BCM pin numbering. The real question is… Why isnt the eeveloper responding? I have since abandoned this TFT because of his lack of response. Touch actually goes through one of the SPI pins I think.
Either the driver is toast with the required kernel update or the driver is using the wrong pin. I am trying to use the sainsmart 2. The SainSmart 3. So maybe your 2. Thanks for the post but…. I fall at the first hurdle I am afraid. The file that you suggest should be edited fbturbo.
What have I missed. Thanks for the ultra fast response. Thanks very much for the assistance anyway. I must be doing something wrong. I have just found a way to get this file on my system! Apparently its part of the fbturbo installation. I have the waveshare 3. Is there any solution? Ok, what am I doing wrong. I am using a fresh install of the newest raspbian, on a Pi 2.
After doing the first two steps and rebooting I get the rainbow screen, then the boot up process, and then my screen just goes black with a flashing cursor in the top left. I am not able to enter any commands or anything…like the pi is halting just after boot up. Well figured out that step 1 was causing my problems. Anyway, I was able to do the rest of the steps with no problem. Mostly I am trying to play around and see if I can get it working somehow. Anyone found a way to do this yet?
Crashes on reboot after last part. Will install image that came with Waveshare. Here is a link to an updated image from waveshare. Upon install it got the display up and running, but I still do not have touch functionality. I am having an issue with getting the GUI back. I went through this tutorial about four times now and am not certain why it is doing this. There is likely an attribute that you can add that controls it, or you would add a variable resistor to the display power.
Any help would be appreciated very much. I keep getting a white screen on my LCD. Hello mate the problem seems to be that you have fail to fullfil the first step: switch FB0 to FB1. I also followed these instructions and at the last reboot ended up with the exact same kernel panic. Raspberry Pi 2 and a Waveshare 3. Not recommanded! Great write up — worked first time for me.
The only difference is by modules blacklist file was empty so there was no change needed there. Maybe to do with me being on a newer rasbian?
