Hi,

i'm an absolute novice in coding. I've been using a RPi 3 B+ with Octoprint for a while. Now i wanted to add a touchscreen with Octodash. I got it to work with TouchUI before, but with Octodash i have no luck.

I think the problem are the display drivers and not Octodash. Unfortunately i don't know anybody else to ask with this issue. So i hope it's ok to post it here.

I'm using this screen: http://www.lcdwiki.com/3.5inch_RPi_Display
(Yes you write that GPIO screens can be problematic, but i've bought it before i read your advice...)

After running "sudo ./LCD35-show" i always get this:
(Reading database ... 87869 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing xserver-xorg-input-evdev (1:2.10.3-1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.5-2) ...

I tried "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get upgrade", "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", etc... multiple times. I also reinstalled (or at least i tried) xserver-xorg-input-evdev and man-db.

The guide on https://github.com/filipeflop/xpt2046-LCD-Driver-for-Raspberry-Pi tells to execute additional commands. After "sudo dpkg -i -B xserver-xorg-input-evdev_1%3a2.10.3-1_armhf.deb" i get:

Maybe you can help me with my issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If you are using a Chinese 3.5" LCD - that used the model number XPT2046 - give up now. They simply do not work. I spent hours on this, followed numerous threads and lost more hair that sleep.

Advice, buy a genuine 7" Raspberry Pi LCD, or one of the ore reputable brands. If you want a 3.5-4" then the HyperPixal4 is the best, if you can find one

Best of luck.....you will LOVE it once you have it running

Hi Ray,

thanks for your reply. Yeah XPT2046 is exactly the one i have:/ I had hope because i managed to get TouchUI working but i gave up after hours...

I took your advice and just ordered a Hyperpixel 4.0 and a new RPi 4 :) Will the 4 perform better than the 3b+ or is Octoprint + Octodash far away from any performance issues?

I’m yet to get the HyperPixal - but many proper use them , and successfully- if you don’t mind the 7” screen - they are awesome

Keep us posted

You shouldn't notice any huge improvements with the Pi4 as the Pi 3+ is more then sufficient already. You can't have enough power though, so good choice!

Closing this here for now thanks @K1W13D for providing the info. if you have issues with the new screen please reopen :)

Hi, the Hyperpixel 4.0 came and is working:)
I'm in the setup of octodash right now and need some information. It's asking for filament feed length and feed speed. I'm using a Prusa MK3s.

I tried to google this information since 1 hour but can't find it anywhere. In Prusaslicer i also get only maximum feed speed rates.

Maybe anyone can provide me this data.

thank you!

Hello,

I had the same problem but I soldered all pins and it was working in the first test.
For configuration, I used this script in this link https://trickiknow.com/raspberry-pi-3-complete-tutorial-2018-lets-get-started/
just running like in this post and worked.
