Hi Tim, thank you for the instructions. Is there a way to have display on both the LCD screen and the HDMI monitor at the same time. I love the convenience of the large screen and also not having to run the code every time I disconnect the monitor. TIA
Puedes usar VNC View para que lo muestre en la mini pantalla y en un monitor o televisión pero tienes que tener internet, yo uso una Raspberry Pi Zero 2W con una pantalla de 3.5" y atravesó de VNC View también lo puedo ver en mi laptop
It's much useful info. Btw, us there anyway we can use old mobile detached display as RPi screen i.e. a display unit from RedMi Note4 or Samsung J2. Pls explore and make a video.
Thats no good mate! Sound like there could be something electrically not connected properly. Double check all the GPIO Connections. Plus if it came from us hit up our support and we'll troubleshoot it/send you a new one if the one you have is no good.
i have the same as you but newer version 3.5 RPi LCD (rev2.0) but it seem different to install do you need a lcd driver installed on the rpi for the ocean works ? also my scene does not light up like yours my scene is less white i have trouble to find the correct one and i have the rpi5
How does using this screen affect the use of other display devices? For example I have a portable setup that I access via VNC on my phone as required. Would using this screen for say a status monitor or something mean that my remote desktop view is also reduced to 480x320?
You have a whole bunch of options with these screens. For instance you can use them as you would a dual screen set-up so both screens would have their native resolutions. Also you should be able to set your VNC resolution to be different than the GPIO screne resolution if so desired.
Iam unable to install Touch display plugin itself in Volumio...any suggestions...some posts say i have to change my Pi s repository...mirror is it so??
dose this work with a pi 2012 ?? cause i got the screen and its not working its got touch working but the display is still full white ? did i get a faulty unit from core ?
These are roughly the instructions I followed from somewhere else to set up my airplay capable kitchen clock project (I didn't need the calibration tool.) But I can't find any advice as to how to reduce the brightness on this thing.... It is way too bright ! Even though the background of my clock is set to black... Any ideas if there's a way to control the brightness ? (the waveshare wiki for LCD35-show talks about brightness control...... but only applicable to a 2.8 inch model.. I don't get the idea there..)
It does appear the Wiki is focused on brightness control for the 2.8 inch model, potentially its just an error on their side. Have you tried adjusting the brightness using the information there? If that doesn't work pop over to our website and make a forum post as we can help you better there 🙂
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I used the "Same" LCD - Rev. 2. When i install the software, i do not see all the options you have when you select the resolution. I only se a few and they show as "DMT" and not "CEA" as on your video. I am using the latest RPI OS on a RPI 4B with 2GB RAM. I did a clean install twice, any idea why i am not able to see all the options you are showing?
That is curious. At the bottom of the full written up article there is a section on changing settings directly via the configuration text. I explain it fully there but if you add the following below line into the config.txt and then save + reboot, it will directly change the resolution to 480 x 320. hdmi_cvt 480 320 60 6 0 0 0

I'm a noob , can we also use the hdmi mini output to a small 3.5/4 inch screen if you don't want your whole raspberry pi 4 pins taken? Also can we use a screen to run a video from the SD card or is the SD card attached to the raspberry pi 4 only for the operating system?
Absolutely, there are small HDMI screens that will connect to Raspberry Pi Single Board computers, this is a good example here - core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/amoled-display-raspberry-pi/ Once you have Raspberry Pi OS flashed to the Micro-SD card you will then be able to put movie/video files as you would any other computer (dragging and dropping/downloading from web browser). When they get saved to the Raspberry Pi Single board computer it will be in files that are located in the Micro-SD card. Hopefully that helps 😊!
ive tried 32 bit 64 bit both dont work ive followed instructions to the T. all i get is a black screen with a text cursor blinking. also on my monitor it says d-sub out of range probably meaning the res trying to output to mini hdmi is so small it doesn't recognize it. i dont know what else to do. also mine had headers for fine i have them connected but fan does not turn on ive tried 2 switch 2 wires none work inverse or out.

Hi Tim! I'm trying to install this on my raspi with retropie. It works, but the GUI won't boot, it just boots straight to the cli. And I get the error, "Error creating SDL window!"
Absolutely champ! This screen only uses less than half of the total GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi. That means you can totally hook up an ultrasonic sensor to work with this set up 😊
@@Core-Electronics one quick follow up since I have no experience with coding or Linux. After installing the screen by this method and removing the SD card and then putting in another SD card with Volumio, would it still work? Thank you for your prompt response.
All the memory of Raspberry Pi OS and the settings you choose for it are on the Micro-SD card. So if you put in another Micro-SD card with Volumio, the screen would need the settings to be applied to it for the new Micro-SD card.
@@Core-Electronics thanks again for your reply. Volumio has a touch screen plug in that worked perfectly with a Waveshare touch screen that I attached to RPi4.
mine just goes to a white screen and then my hdmi stops working and saids out of range? ive had this issue for 2 years and stopped working on the raspberry pi because of this 1 issue sadly
I would think the Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi edition would have support for touch screen... Great question. Now I wanna know. But, I'll add, I've been running Raspberry Pi OS 64bit beta for quite some time and it's quick, smooth and utilizes memory (8GB) quite well. I loaded Ubuntu for RPi on another sd (need too buy another SSD for that) and it was awesome but admittedly I haven't popped that back in as I like what I'm using.
Each GPIO screen like this have drivers in them that will run with specific kernel (normally Raspberry Pi OS) but you can find patches to make the driver compatible with Ubuntu. For instance here is a method to update the driver of the Waveshare 3.5inch RPi LCD so that it will display with Ubuntu - github.com/victorbrca/waveshare35-rpi3b-ubuntu-20.04-64
You definitely can utilise it that way! Adafruit has this phenomenal product which would be significantly easier to use for that task however - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ADA3356

For sure mate, the screen is a GPIO connected screen which will work with ModBros Desktop Hardware Monitor. You just need to install an extra driver (when compared to HDMI screens). Come check their Installation FAQ here for that GPIO enabling driver - www.mod-bros.com/en/faq/mobro/raspberry/setup

Hi, I was trying to make the screen works, but i have a little problem, the screen still being white, I was following all the instructions of the video, here is a question. Do you think the screen is damaged or could I have made a mistake?
while having the LCD screen on, are you able to use the 2 external monitor at the same time? Just like a laptop screen with another 2 external monitor.
Three display outputs are definitely possible with KMS as demonstrated by this Raspberry Pi Forum post here but it is not official supported, hope that helps you! - forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=243812

Hey there, I have trouble setting up my waveshare 3.2" screen. When I follow the steps in the waveshare instruction, the display becomes black after reboot.

I hope someone can help me.
Hi I bought this screen 1 year ago I first connected and the screen remained black , after 1 year I follow all instruction got a extra monitor and even I have clone and download all into the raps berry pi the screen does not come bright white .

I followed these exact same steps but the only thing i see on the raspi screen is a white dash on the top left. Otherwise im able to see all other boot logs in the start
Hi i had the same problem but i solved it. You are probably using the 64bit rasberry pi os version but it only works on the 32 bit version. All the drivers should work on the 32 bit os
Not 100% sure with the information you've provided. Come make a forum topic with some images of Hardware and Software and we'll get your system working properly 😊 forum.core-electronics.com.au/
Thats no good! So even when you go through the software installation process it still doesn't power up or even display a bright white screen? If not it could with high potential be a hardware issue/fault.

After executing the last command, my monitor reboots and then restarts into the four color setting, and my raspberry pi remains white. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
That is very weird, what happens if you reboot the system without any HDMI output to your monitor connected. Also perhaps it is the version of Raspberry Pi OS you are using. As a test re-flash the Micro-SD card with 'Buster' Raspberry Pi OS (the Legacy version) and try with that.

Do you know how to connect or attach the raspberry pi GPIO pins to the DWM1000 uwb IC?
Heyya mate, come make a forum topic in regards to this and we'll get the best people on Earth for it to help 😊 forum.core-electronics.com.au/
@@Core-Electronics thanks mate, i will post it in the forum.
“I don’t look like a Minecraft dirt block”
would this work if my project is a robot? i want to use this monitor as his eyes, and touch to interact command?
You definitely can utilise it that way! Adafruit has this phenomenal product which would be significantly easier to use for that task however - core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ADA3356
After it reboot it only appear in HDMI. The 3.5 Inch Display is still blank white
I got an almost identical screen from duinotech but it's really really choppy anyone know a fix
Is can you show how to make the camera work with this to?
Heyya mate, come check out these two guides, they'll get you up to speed 😊. core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera.html and core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-bullseye-camera-commands.html
I have a 1.54 in LED touch screen. Could I the same steps for this?
Most of these steps would be applicable, just make sure you install the correct Packages for your Specific screen 😊
Hi can u help me get my screen working with mobro's desktop hardware monitor raspi screen thingy please? i just keep getting a wiered line of code
For sure mate, the screen is a GPIO connected screen which will work with ModBros Desktop Hardware Monitor. You just need to install an extra driver (when compared to HDMI screens). Come check their Installation FAQ here for that GPIO enabling driver - www.mod-bros.com/en/faq/mobro/raspberry/setup
@@Core-Electronics i found it it was one of the drivers in config, i tired more or less all of them and one of the last ones (4mins each to reboot) it booted up and worked i was like omg!
Hi, I was trying to make the screen works, but i have a little problem, the screen still being white, I was following all the instructions of the video, here is a question. Do you think the screen is damaged or could I have made a mistake?
Will that same procedure work for the Pi Zero?
So long as you have header pins on your Zero the process will be the same :)
I cant Cricket the raspberry pi symbol Button its not starting
while having the LCD screen on, are you able to use the 2 external monitor at the same time? Just like a laptop screen with another 2 external monitor.
Three display outputs are definitely possible with KMS as demonstrated by this Raspberry Pi Forum post here but it is not official supported, hope that helps you! - forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=243812
How do I reverse to see on my desktop display
The display stays black after the installation. Any suggestions? On startup its white and when the os is up the screen turns black. Only visible feedback i currently have is via remotedesktop...
Hey what did you do to resolve the problem
Hey there,
I have trouble setting up my waveshare 3.2" screen. When I follow the steps in the waveshare instruction, the display becomes black after reboot. It stays black until I shut the pi down. when I shut the pi down the display displays the command line for half a second and the get white (bc pi is off). What did I do wrong?
I hope someone can help me.
Come write up a post on our forum with some pictures of your set up. We'll best be able to help you there - forum.core-electronics.com.au/
@@Core-Electronics Thank you very much, i'll do that
Hi I bought this screen 1 year ago I first connected and the screen remained black , after 1 year I follow all instruction got a extra monitor and even I have clone and download all into the raps berry pi the screen does not come bright white . Always stays as off . Do you think this could be a factory defect ?
Hey Oscar, if you are still having trouble with it, flick through an email to our support, they will be more than happy to help you: support@coreelectronics.com.au
Cheers mate!
i get some info show up on the touch screen during the boot up of the Pi and then it goes to black screen, i can still view the image through HDMI port though. what should i do
Sound to me like your missing some Drivers for the screen. Did you type in the | git clone github.com/waveshare/LCD-show.git | terminal command?
@@Core-Electronics yeah mate, I followed it step by step. screen is 4inch RPi LCD (A) and running Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)
@@Core-Electronics
I run did the follow steps below after following the step by step. this step by step is out of date.
In
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-
fbturbo.conf
i changed Driver "fbturbo" to Driver "fbdev"
and now it works :)
Nice 😊 so did you find the workflow outline in the video is now out out of date?
Touchscreen no longer works on newer Pi OS's (e.g. Bullseye and Bookworm). Display seems fine though.
How do you hook this up inside a pc case attaching to a pc motherboard?
wdym? like an **Actual** pc? like one that'll run windows? if so, you can't
how do you type letters with it? Do you still need an actual keyboard? Does a small one pop up on the screen like a smartphone?
Yes, there’s an on-screen keyboard in the accessories menu, at least on any version of Raspbian I’ve ever used.
@@vaughnsc awesome 👌
I followed these exact same steps but the only thing i see on the raspi screen is a white dash on the top left. Otherwise im able to see all other boot logs in the start
Hi i had the same problem but i solved it. You are probably using the 64bit rasberry pi os version but it only works on the 32 bit version. All the drivers should work on the 32 bit os
@@aprildev1 ohhh okayy
@@aprildev1 OMG thanks for this!
Cheers
the size of the desktop is too big for the window. when i rotate my screen, almost like im zoomed in too far, how do i change that?
Not 100% sure with the information you've provided. Come make a forum topic with some images of Hardware and Software and we'll get your system working properly 😊 forum.core-electronics.com.au/
My Waveshare screen just remains black/lifeless after I connect it. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Thats no good! So even when you go through the software installation process it still doesn't power up or even display a bright white screen? If not it could with high potential be a hardware issue/fault.
How do I get mine to work? I have a raspberry pi 5 and im using bookworm. I tried reflashing but that still doesn’t work. Can anyone help?
Podrías instalar la versión de Raspberry legacy porque la que estás usando (bookworm) a mí no me funcionó pero descargando la versión legacy (Bullseye) si pude, a lo mejor te puede servir
I have 7 inch hdmi resistive display of waveshare .but it's touch not working in gud manner , when I go from left to right ..cursor comes from top to bottom. I tried so many ways but it's not solved..plz help me...it's too frustrating ..thanks in advance

There is no cea display resolution 😔
After executing the last command, my monitor reboots and then restarts into the four color setting, and my raspberry pi remains white. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
That is very weird, what happens if you reboot the system without any HDMI output to your monitor connected.
Also perhaps it is the version of Raspberry Pi OS you are using. As a test re-flash the Micro-SD card with 'Buster' Raspberry Pi OS (the Legacy version) and try with that.
Will that work for my already installed version of Buster OS(2019 version) . Please reply....
This is actually one of our older guides and it was made with Buster OS! 😊
Can you use this screen for a mini camera monitor?
Absolutely!
@@Core-Electronics I want to learn how to do this sort of thing just so much involved and I'm not on that level but want to learn it.
CAUTION: This no longer works with updated Debian Bookworm Raspberry Pi OS for 4B. It actually bricks OS after reboot!
do you know how it’s actually done for the most recent?
@@walkergren4192 So this actually works with Pi zero and I just use it with pi zero.
Refresh rate and screen resolution is very low so it has limited application.
I would rather just recommend to take help from waveshare customer support than just spend a lot of time yourself.
Fuck, is my raspberry pi no longer displayable?
Do I gotta reflash my sd card?
Ask waveshare customer support for help
Can you turn this into a handheld with an integrated battery?
yeah, that's what im doing!
