7inch touchscreen

Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:09 pm

I purchased the official 7inch touchscreen for my Pi3 and when it boots up its upside down. Does anyone know how to rotate the screen and also make the touch screen work the same way.

Found It
In Terminal, type sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the line lcd_rotate=2 to the top of the file.
Press CTRL+X
Then Y
Then Enter.
And reboot! :D
