How to use this screen for PI 3B+/3B/2B

We update the user method for the old raspberry pi board such as 3B+/3B/2B etc. Only append the following comment to the end of config.txt file;

We test it on the official Rasdpbian 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch verson.

How to change the backlight, push the button

 

How to use 2 keys,like gpio

 

How to use the I2C master(I2C_3)

you can use this module by the following step

step 1. Download the official firmware, then upgrade to the latest kernel

sudo rpi-update

step 2. Config file to enable i2c_3

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Add the following line:

dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,i2c_gpio_scl=24,i2c_gpio_sda=23framebuffer_height=480

step 3. Make and install the pigpio

sudo git clone git://github.com/joan2937/pigpio
cd pigpio
sudo python setup.py install
sudo make
sudo make install

step 4. install the I2C tools

sudo apt-get install i2c-tools python-smbus

step 5. Config file to /etc/modules

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add the following line:

i2c-bcm2708
i2c-dev

step 6. Config file to /etc/ rc.loacl

sudo nano /etc/ rc.loacl

Add the following line:

raspi-gpio set 23 pu
raspi-gpio set 24 pu

step 7. Save then restart;

How to use the IR function

Description: IR receiver function:

  • Operating frequency: 38K HZ
  • Receiving distance: 18-20m
  • Reception angle: +/- 45 degrees

The infrared transmitter function

  • Wavelength: 940nm
  • Transmitting distance: 7-8m

Preparation: Burn into raspbian system;

1. Start the Raspberry Pi, login Raspberry Pi through SSH, the user name: pi, default password: raspberry

2. Update and install lirc software, run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lirc

 

 

3. Edit the config.txt, and add configuration. use GPIO PIN 26;

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Add the following line into the config.txt file:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi, gpio_in_pin=26

 

4. Edit LRIC config file to enable infrared function; sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Modify the following lines:

LIRCD_ARGS=”--uinput”
DRIVER=”default”
DEVICE=”/dev/lirc0″
MODULES=”lirc_rpi”

5. Run "sudo reboot" to restart the Raspberry Pi, then run "ls / dev / l *" to view the infrared device is enabled

 

It's enabled if you can view the above red mark;

6. Record Button

sudo  /etc/init.d/lirc stop
sudo irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0 ~/lircd.conf

Record your IR remote control Follow the prompts, such as “pause”,“nextsong”,“prevsong”,“stop”,“volumeup”,“volumedown” etc.

  then you can get a lircd.conf file; override the old lircd.conf file;

sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

7. Startup lirc software;

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start

 

8. Run the following command to view & check record result

sudo irw

Then press those record button;

9. You can view those button name to run irsend command;

irsend LIST /home/pi/lircd.conf “”

maybe it's following content:

irsend: 000000000000c837 pause
irsend: 00000000000048b7 nextsong

10. Now you can use the infrared transmitter, recorded before launching the remote control key coding, use that will extend the board as a rotary tool.Launch the command reference command:

irsend SEND_ONCE /home/pi/lircd.confpause
irsend SEND_ONCE /home/pi/lircd.confnextsong
irsend SEND_ONCE /home/pi/lircd.conf KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
irsend SEND_ONCE /home/pi/lircd.conf KEY_VOLUMEUP

Can't get Xorg to work. Get this error:

[ 87.003] (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. [ 87.003] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults. [ 87.003] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0) [ 87.004] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section". [ 87.094] (EE) no screens found(EE)

Do you guys have a xorg.conf file for reference?

Can't get this to work on my Pi 3B+ running Rasbian-buster.

No need to install a driver? really?

Hi!

I'm using this screen on Raspberry 4 and works as charm if I plug it directly into GPIO. However, If I use a cable to get the screen away from board (20cm, pretty short one), the screen lights up, but does not work. Is there any suggestion why this can be?

Thanks!

Trying to run this screen with Arch Linux but keep getting booting errors. Is there a fix to run it with other Linux variants?

Using a Pi 3B, also have a Pi 3B+

Dimming the backlight via I2C is possible. It is also possible to switch the display off and on again. But there seems to be a problem with the standby mode: After waking from standby the display is extremely sensitive on touching the boarder. It flickers in different colors and looses contrast. I testet with two pieces. The only way to stop this behaviour ist disconnecting from power and power on again. So the standby mode is not useful. To test: double click the dimming switch to go to standby. Tap again to wake up, then touch the boarder of the display

Work around for standby: Show black screen and dimm to the lowest value.

Hi,

with enabling the I2C master functionality the display module is shown as I2C slave with address 0x1C.

Executing an i2cdump returns some data like 'Single Click.Button Status : ', 'sleep.Screen' etc. It looks as if it would be possible to talk to the display via I2C. Is this right? Do you have a manual what information can be exchanged between Raspberry Pi and the display?

I've also seen that one switch is not populated on the board. If it should be possible to expand the board with a GPIO controlled via I2C it would be very helpful because DPI needs a lot of GPIOs.

Could you describe how to do the easy method without using Windows? I tried 7za and that extracted an img file but using dd to put that on /dev/sdx leads to there being no partition table on the sd card. What do all these "may contain malware" windows utilies actually do ?

In the not-so-easy method, what leads to the blob file being used? Should I run update grub or something?

So far i have a completely black screen.

For Raspberry 3B plus need add sting "dtoverlay=dpi24" in config.txt for 24-bit RGB
