Pi 7" screen rotation problems

[daveyjr1957]

Hi
I have my pi - screen and matching case (all for PiHut).
All working fine except that the screen image is upside down. The seller tells me that I need to enter LCD = 2 into the config file. I have tried to do this using leaf through the GUI but its read only. When I use terminal using 'sudo' I can not get it to move the the "Boot" directory.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Dave

Add

Code: Select all

lcd_rotate=2

into /boot/config.txt and reboot.

Use sudo nano /boot/config.txt in an LXTerminal window to edit it. If you can't work out how to do that hold or tap [SHIFT] during boot and use the NOOBS recovery system config editor to do it.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The actual config line needs to be

Code: Select all

lcd_rotate=2

I've never used leaf, but for nano from the CLI use

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

at the end of the file enter

Code: Select all

lcd_rotate=2

Then enter Control-X and Y to agree to save (or something similar).

FYI the lcd_rotate=2 is correct for the official screen only.
Hope this helps,
Texy
