RPi Information Screen for Official Raspberry Pi Display

[radioelf]

OK, Thank, I have changed Window.size = (800, 480) for window.size = (1920, 1080) It works, but the error screen size continues ...

[elParaguayo]

Are you using the official raspberry pi display?

The screens aren't designed for the resolution you're setting.

I'm also surprised that that worked!

[radioelf]

I do not use the official raspberry pi display ..

Then you will need to alter the screen layouts manually.

Hi. test /screens/wordclock OK!: raspberry 3 , hdmi 1920x1080

Code: Select all

mod. main.py: Window.size = (800, 480) by Window.size = (1920, 1080)
mod. /screens/wordclock/screen.py: size = self.config.SIZE by size=(128,131)

Hi and thank you for creating this great tool.

I was wondering if it were possible to use this software with a keyboard and mouse while I wait for my touch screen monitor to come in. Are there any possible solutions?

Thanks.

[elParaguayo]

You can certainly use a mouse. The screens work with touch events which are really just clicks so that should be ok.

Give it a go.

[Danyil]

Is there supposed to be a cursor somewhere? I am attempting to click with my mouse but I'm having no luck getting any kind of response. I have two of the apps enabled in this instance.

The cursor comes from your desktop. Just like in all applications.

Hello,

I recently revived my touch screen monitor and began using it with my Raspberry Pi 3B, however I ran into some problems running your application. I have an image of the failure here:



I tried diagnosing the problem myself, but came up empty handed. Any suggestions?

[karrika]

Yes. You need to install kivy from the github.

https://kivy.org/docs/installation/inst ... n-rpi.html

[elParaguayo]

Not sure that's it. If kivy wasn't installed it should crash on the imports.

Have you changed any of the settings on the screens?

[Danyil]

To Paraguayo:

No, I didn't change any screens and this same problem came across all the ones I tried loading. I made a fresh install of Raspbian because of this issue, and I still had the same problem even after everything was reinstalled. I followed all the instructions properly, and successfully installed the applications and dependencies needed to run RPi both times.

[Danyil]

Quick update: The problem was much like what radioelf had. Thankfully, it is fixed. However, my touchscreen works in the startx environment but not the Kivy-based RPi apps. I assume this a driver problem, but I cannot be too sure. Any ideas?

[karrika]

I had exactly the same problem. Solved it via installing the latest kivy from github following the instructions.

I use my kivy with a 7" original screen and no desktop.

Currently I run only Kivy and the Rpi-Cam on it. Kivy for the bus schedules and the cam for watching on our front door.

So it is bolted on the wall in the hallway.

Have a look at step 13 on this page and see if it helps:
