Thank you so much for the new features implemented in the meantime by yourself!įirst of all I want to confirm, that the touchscreen we discussed before (480 x 320) is working straightaway. Mcallegari wrote:Good news everyone ! Hi Massimo, So, I'm proud to say QLC+ on the Raspberry Pi supports another piace to make a fully standalone controller with touchscreen support.
Mine uses the XPT2046 touchscreen controller. More or less, the supported displays are listed here: Īll the chinese clones marked as "Raspberry Pi LCD/TFT touchscreen" should work, just make sure they use SPI for the display and a compatible driver for the touchscreen surface. Thanks to the inclusion of the fbtft driver in the standard linux kernel: The good news is that the latest QLC+RPI image (20150412) has all the necessary software to make them work. You would have serious problems in designing a Virtual Console on lower resolutions. I do not suggest to purchase a display with a resolution lower than 480x320. It is similar to all the ones we've discussed before in this thread (Watterot, Adafruit, etc.) but it's incredibly cheap.and it just works fine ! If it is possible for you to preserve that generic approach, it will be quite simple for a lot of interested guys to complete their QLC+ controllers.Īs you can see / feel, I'm very enthusiastic and full of hope for this extension of your very nice development.Īfter a 3 months odyssey with the italian posts (which ended up in me receiving a broken display!) I've finally being able to bring one 3.5" 480x320 TFT at home.
Quite useless.īut yesterday I found these very detailed tutorials ( and ) and the success came really only a few minutes later!Ī very interesting information is, that the used driver () includes a wide range of supported TFTs!Īnd if it should be possible for you to go this way, I think it will be a very big success of your QLC+ on RPi. Only a few features were integrated into that img-file. They are 320x240 too and are working quite good.įirstly I found only sorrowful messages concerning these types of displays (they are called WaveShare SpotPear), because they came with a special img-file and no upgrade procedure worked for them. Yesterday I tested the procedure of loading the necessary drivers (and tools) to convert the very new Raspbian () into a standalone RPi. To support your development (testing, to gain experience and so on) I ordered the same one as you (thank you for the link!).īut finally - I'm quite sure - every small display will be good enough to help operating a finalized light show on the RPi, because only a few touches are necessary to do so.
