Pi B and Pi 2 LCD screen

[Baulter89]

I recently bought a new screen for my pi's which is a Waveshare Spotpear SainSmart 3.2 Inch RPI LC v3. I've literally followed all of the threads on here with how people have gotten their's to work and even followed http://www.circuitbasics.com/setup-lcd- ... pberry-pi/ Which I thought would work but it didn't either. I've used various Linux distros for maybe 15+ years off and on? I've usually been able to get stuff to work but this has me stumped. Either I have a screen that is all jacked up, Or I'm loosing my memory on this stuff. Can anyone shed any light on how they have gotten theirs running? I bought the screen at Microcenter which came with no disc or documentation of any kind. When I bought the Media version of the Pi 2 the guy that sold me the screen there told me it was plug and play, I knew then and there that is wasn't just by how casual he was with saying it. I bought it anyways so oh well here I am, Venting to you lot. ><: I've been at this for a week so far, Furthest I've gotten was last night when It mentioned finding it in the boot screen then froze towards the end saying It couldn't find the module for the screen, I gave up last night. Again...Any help would be much appreciated my friends, Thank you.

It shows it picking up my screen, But my screen stays white? Anyone know something I'm missing or is this just a waste of time with this screen?

[mikronauts]

Did you try contacting Microcenter? See if they can give you a link to the display manufacturers site, which may have documentation and/or more information.

I recently bought a new screen for my pi's which is a Waveshare Spotpear SainSmart 3.2 Inch RPI LC v3. I've literally followed all of the threads on here with how people have gotten their's to work and even followed http://www.circuitbasics.com/setup-lcd- ... pberry-pi/ Which I thought would work but it didn't either. I've used various Linux distros for maybe 15+ years off and on? I've usually been able to get stuff to work but this has me stumped. Either I have a screen that is all jacked up, Or I'm loosing my memory on this stuff. Can anyone shed any light on how they have gotten theirs running? I bought the screen at Microcenter which came with no disc or documentation of any kind. When I bought the Media version of the Pi 2 the guy that sold me the screen there told me it was plug and play, I knew then and there that is wasn't just by how casual he was with saying it. I bought it anyways so oh well here I am, Venting to you lot. ><: I've been at this for a week so far, Furthest I've gotten was last night when It mentioned finding it in the boot screen then froze towards the end saying It couldn't find the module for the screen, I gave up last night. Again...Any help would be much appreciated my friends, Thank you.

Yes I did, I got the correct Image for the screen, It boots up and just freezes on the boot screen, Nothing else. I even left it over night to see If It would move any. I can use any Image but the one they supplied me.

[mikronauts]

Are you using the image they provided on a Pi 1 or Pi 2?

If you are trying to use it on a Pi2 it may not have been updated yet for the new I/O base address.

Try the display on a Pi Model A/A+/B/B+ (not a Pi 2)

[Baulter89]

I have a B and B+ The furthest I've gotten was on the B. I had four little colored lines on the screen during boot up. Once I did sudo reboot they disappeared.

[mikronauts]

I suspect you may have a defective display.

[Baulter89]

I was starting to think that myself. I will return my screen after work tomorrow and I will update you on it. I kinda figured once the dmesg showed it and the commands wouldn't switch from hdmi to spi. Thank you my friend.

Hi,

You can use the side from Circuit Basics, but there are two errors in the instruction.

Step 1 is ok, changing fb0 to fb1
than go to step 3, download the driver
than step 2 go to raspi-config and enable SPI
Step 4 /etc/modules goto line 3, it starts with waveshare32b, this is wrong!
The module name is fb_ili9340 and not waveshare32b. Waveshare32b is only the name.
On the notro page you see this:

name = "waveshare32b",
.spi = &(struct spi_board_info) {
.modalias = "fb_ili9340",

modalias is the module!

If you get an error for ads7846_device then give me a note. In the newest Kernel,
there is no more ads7846_device.
Then you need a other correction.
