What doesn't work?
I have a BTT TFT70 w/ a Pi 3B+ running Octoprint and OctoDash. Currently the OctoDash doesn't fill the space of the TFT leaving about 25% of the right side of the screen unused. Also, the touch buttons are misplaced. Seems like a scaling issue.

What did you already try?
I have tried updated the raspi-config to account for the large display. No joy.

General Information:

  • Hardware [Raspberry Pi 3B+ Screen resolution 1280x720 60Hz 16:9]
  • OS Info [OctoPi 0.18.0]
  • OctoDash Version [e.g. v2.1.2]
  • OctoPrint Version [e.g. v1.5.3]

Please provide a photo of how your screen looks. Most likely something misconfigured. OctoDash scales fine up to 4k resolution.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. Not only is it the scaling error, but another connection error as well.

Seems like a pretty bad hardware problem to me. Maybe try with a properly working screen.

I really don't think it's a hardware problem. changing certain settings improved the picture, so it has to be that. Anyone have ideas?

This definitely is either a bad screen / a badly configured Raspbian installation. Please try a clean install with Raspbian Desktop (maybe on a separate SD card) and check if the artifacts are still visible on the Desktop without OctoPrint / OctoDash installed.

QC can be a bit funky in China so there might as well be a good chance that your screen is just broken.

SOLVED: Definitely not a bad screen. Here's the solution:

  1. wipe the RPi SD card and install a fresh Octoprint image
  2. Once completed, update the octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt file on the SD card
  3. Update the config.txt file with the following:
    image
  4. Place SD card in the Pi and login via SSH
  5. Run the Octodash install command: bash <(wget -qO- https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/raw/main/scripts/install.sh)
  6. Reboot and profit

Thanks for the help folks.
