3) We recommend you to set the icons bigger for better displaying.

Working with Raspberry Pi

This LCD can support Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali / Retropie systems.

Please download the latest version of the image on the Raspberry Pi official website.

1) Download the compressed file to the PC, and unzip it to get the .img file.
2) Connect the TF card to the PC, use SDFormatter software to format the TF card.
3) Open the Win32DiskImager software, select the system image downloaded in step 1, and click ‘Write’ to write the system image.
4) After the image has finished writing, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, add the following code at the end of config.txt, then save and quit the TF card safely.
max_framebuffer_height=1920
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=1080 0 112 16 160 1920 0 4 10 10 0 0 0 60 0 140000000 3
extra_transpose_buffer=2
gpu_mem=512#Please change to gpu_mem=256 for Pi Zero series
5) Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi
6) Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB port of Raspberry Pi.
7) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of Raspberry Pi and then power on the Raspberry Pi, it can display normally after waiting for about a few seconds.

  • 2. Save and reboot Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot

Touch orientation

The Touch of the LCD cannot be changed along with the display, in this case, you should rotate the touch manually after changing the display orientation. With this display, you can rotate the touch by using a card needle or tweezer and pressing the following button.
(To avoid unintended touching, we hide the Rotate Touch button in the case)

Anti-Piracy

Since the first-generation Raspberry Pi released, Waveshare has been working on designing, developing, and producing various fantastic touch LCDs for the Pi. Unfortunately, there are quite a few pirated/knock-off products in the market. They're usually some poor copies of our early hardware revisions, and comes with none support service.

To avoid becoming a victim of pirated products, please pay attention to the following features when purchasing:

Please note that we've found some poor copies of this item in the market. They are usually made of inferior materials and shipped without any testing.
