Waveshare 3.2" LCD V4 and Raspberry pi 2

[Hg]

Hi all,
I recently purchases the new Raspberry Pi 2 and a Waveshare 3.2" LCD (V4).
I purchased the LCD from ebay and it arrived today.

I am having issues getting it to do anything, it powers on but the screen only stays white.
I have used the Custom OS which came with the screen and also found on these forums a previous version of the OS for V3 which i downloaded and tried but still with no Joy.
I was wondering if anyone has actually got one of the V4 screens to work with the new pi and if so how?
I believe the Install maybe corrupt (as others with older screens say the OS on the discs are corrupt) but i can't find any V4 downloads on the net, only ones i can find are for the older V3 screen.

Thanks in advance

Did you see this recent post regards Waveshare ? http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 00&t=98069

Hello , you have news? I bought the same product and I have the same problem . I asked for assistance to the manufacturer , but I was just plain replied that lcd is not compatible with rasp2

...try the link posted in previous post, if you have a fully updated Raspbian, should not be an issue

[DrJonSmith]

I have one too and how I go my one working is installing this software on a SD card (min space needed is 8GB).

http://diyhacking.com/raspberry-pi-touc ... -tutorial/

The tutorial says to use Win32DiskImager for Windows computers but if you are using Mac then try applepi baker (These apps are for putting the image file on the SD card).

Applepi baker: http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/ra ... -pi-baker/
Win32DiskImager: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Image file download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0nujp ... dETzg/view

I hope this helps

I had a quick look at the tutorial and I can only see B/B+ mentioned.
Does it work on a Pi2B?

[DrJonSmith]

Sorry I don't know but it is not hard to get file on to SD card so give it a try.

Thanks

Sorry I don't know but it is not hard to get file on to SD card so give it a try.

My question was a roundabout way of saying that this topic was specifically about getting the screen to work on a Pi2B.
The page you link to dates from 2014 and I can see not changes / updates that suggest it could work on the Pi2.
Actually, in the comments it is mentioned that it does not work on the Pi2B and the writer links back to a topic here on the forum...

Waveshare 3.2 and Raspberry Pi 2 remote control of the GUI

Remark: It works also with other LCD's

Take Control of your Pi Desktop GUI with your PC or Laptop

1) Install on your Pi
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver,
you will be asked for password !Remember it! Don't use the Pi password!

2) Install on your PC (Linux)
sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer
For Windows install tightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/)

On your Pi start the Gui with startx, open XTerminal enter tightvncserver, answer the password at the first time.

On your PC open a terminal enter tightvncviwer, than enter the ip from your raspberry and raspberrypi:1 (Looks like 192.168.2.xxx raspberrypi:1)

Enter the tightvncserver-password and you will see the Pi Desktop on your Pc.

[Lumpi]

CORRECTION !

for Waveshare 3.2 and Raspberry Pi 2 remote control of the GUI

go to the line before the last one.

"On your PC open a terminal enter tightvncviwer..." this is wrong !
On your PC open a terminal enter xtightvncviwer... this is correct !

If the monitor is jamming your raspberry, shutdown the PI, disconnect the monitor.
Start the raspberry new, wait until the Pi has booted. Than open a terminal on your Linux Pc,
and start a ssh connection, write in the terminal, ssh pi@192.168.2.XXX (the ip from your raspberry). and enter the password. Now you are connected with your Pi.
Than write, tightvncserver, ENTER.
Open a second Terminal on vour PC and write xtightvncviwer ENTER, write 192.168.2.xxx raspberrypi:1, after the password entry you will have the raspberry GUI on your PC.

In Windows use PuTTY for a ssh connection.

I hope this will help you.

I can confirm this is WORKING. Just one question though using the pen the pointer seems to move on the opposite vertical side

[blavery]

On a current Raspbian,
why won't simply fetching waveshare32b-overlay.dtb from
https://github.com/swkim01/waveshare-dtoverlays
into /boot/overlays,
followed by adding its "dtoverlay" reference into /boot/config.txt,
be enough to fire up a waveshare32 hardware as /dev/fb1?

Get a new SDCard and a USB SDcard reader.

Build a fresh copy of Raspbian on the new card.

Boot the new card in your RPi.

Mount the damaged card in the reader, mount the reader in your RPi.

Open a terminal
for i in 1 2 3 5 6; do sudo fsck -f -y /dev/sda$i; done

Ignore any errors.

sudo poweroff

Swap cards, reboot and grab a beer to celebrate a job well done.

[Sami91]

i fixed by changing this line: root = / dev / mmcblk0p6.
I tried to put 2 instead of 6, and it worked.
thank you guys for help and I toast to you.

how can I see the gui on screen?
if I try with: startx he tells me:
fatal error no screens found
sorry guys but i can't download the lcd's driver because i have a problem with this....damnnnn

Hi all, I am noob to the Rasperry pi and I do not yet fully understand the programming language. I have purchased a Pi 3 Model B kit and a Waveshare 3.2" LCD screen and case. I purchased the LCD screen from SB components through Amazon. The reason i bought it was because I saw it advertised in a Raspberry Pi mag, and it said it would work with pi 3. and the all the drivers etc was pre-installed on an sd card so it would work straight out the box. Well this is not the case for me. I am running Raspian on my pi. I fitted the screen inserted the sd card and powered up, nothing just a white screen. No green light the pi was not reading the card, I checked the software disc that came with the screen and it said for the pi model B/B+ well i have a pi 3 model B so in theory it should work and is not. Can anyone help or advise me with this, I have contacted SB components and explained it to them it did not work out the box as discribed.

Have a nice day

I followed these directions and My screen is still all white. I've been stuck on this for 3 days.

This looks OK, however my /dev/fb1 never appeared

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /dev/fb*
/dev/fb0

And I have a single error

Who do i fix this?

OK... So i corrected the error by commenting out the config lines for my screen

Code: Select all

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

i2c-dev

#fbtft_device name=waveshare32b gpios=dc:22,reset:27 speed=48000000

I'll just wait for some pointers. It appears that I'm missing a module for my touch screen or the config line is wrong in /etc/modules
