  • On the back of the device, you will find a switch in the upper right corner of the PCB.
  • This switch is only used to turn the backlight (the backlight of the device) ON or OFF and therefore has no other functions.

USE WITH A RASPBERRY PI

Only a few adjustments are necessary to use the display. These adjustments are necessary to ensure optimal operation of the display. Use the following command to open the config.txt file to make the adjustments.

After opening the file, go to the part in the file that shows [all]. Under the item [all] you must insert the following

In your case, the part under [all] should now look like the following image.

You can also use the following command to reboot.

Device connection

  1. Connect the LCD’s power-only interface to a 5 V 2.4 A adapter. This should be equipped with a type A to micro USB cable.
  2. Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI interface of your Raspberry Pi using an HDMI cable.
  3. Connect the touch interface of the LCD to one of the USB interfaces of your Raspberry Pi.
  4. Insert a microSD card into the card socket of the Raspberry Pi, connect your Raspberry Pi to power, and then turn on the Raspberry Pi.

DISPLAY ROTATION

Changing the display orientation is helpful for many purposes. Of course, you can also configure the display orientation here.
To do this, you simply need to follow the steps in the following images.

  1. Open the application menu.
  2. Open the settings.
  3. Open the screen configuration. After performing the previous steps, a window like the one shown in the following image should open on the desktop of your Raspberry Pi. In this window, simply go to Configure > Screens > HDMI-1 > Rotation and select the desired orientation that you want to use for your display.

DISPLAY CALIBRATION

After you have selected the orientation of your display, you must now calibrate the touchscreen so that the touches are also correctly shown and registered on the display.
