Connection instructions

[GeraldTJ]

Good afternoon. I have just taken delivery of my new display which assembles exactly as the instructions, however, whilst there is a multi-langauge safety leaflet in the box there are no connection details so I am not sure what is the correct way of inter-connecting my Pi computer to the display.

Can anyone point me to the location of a file that gives the instructions please.

Many thanks

Many thanks for your help. I followed the instructions and now have a fully working display but I have one problem, it is upside down

I followed the instructions on here and edited config.txt and added a line lcd_rotate=2. After reboot that had no effect
I then tried editing config.txt and added display_rotate=2 and again rebooted and again no joy.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Try this command

Code: Select all

vcgencmd get_config int

Do you see "lcd_rotate=2" in the list? If not then you're not editing the correct config.txt file, or maybe you're not actually saving it after the edit.

If you are using Noobs then perhaps that would explain the wrong config.txt being edited.

Hello Jimmy,

I followed your instruction and the command line "lcd_rotate=2" is not in the list. I have checked the config.txt file in boot, using the command line sudo nano /boot/config.txt and the entry lcd_rotate=2 is present and uncommented. I assume it to be the correct version as the display overscan commands are present but commented out.

The post following yours, by Paul Webster, implies that there may be more than one config.txt file, but I cannot find a second one. I am digging back into my many years unused knowledge of linux but cannot find another config.txt file on the sd card.

Confused to say the least

If you use Noobs and edit config.txt on another computer you're probably editing the wrong config.txt
Since you did it from the running system I would conclude that you're editing the correct version of config.txt

Can you post the contents of config.txt.
