How to use

1. With Raspberry Pi: Connect the LCD to your Pi (HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of Pi; USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of Pi; 5V~2A power supply). Download the Raspbian image from Raspberry Pi web site. Write the image to a TF card and add the following code to the end of /boot/config.txt:

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0

Save and connect the TF card to your Pi then power up.

2. Without Raspberry Pi: A PC (Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7) is required which cannot connect with other display device. Connect the LCD to your PC (USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of PC; HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of PC. Please first connect the USB Ports then connect the HDMI Port). A new touch drive is recognized by Windows and after the driver successfully installed, you can use the LCD as a human interface device.

About LCD revision

Rev2.1 New Features

  • Upgrade to IPS screen, wider viewing angle, more clear displaying.
  • Standard HID protocol, easy to be integrated into your system.
  • For the Raspberry Pi, supports Raspbian, Ubuntu, Windows 10 IoT, single touch, and driver free.
  • When work as a computer monitor, supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7, five-points touch, and driver free.

Rev1.1 and before

  • For the Raspberry Pi, comes with Raspbian driver (works with your Raspbian directly), and Ubuntu image.
  • When work as a computer monitor, touch function is unavailable.

How to distinguish

  • See the backside of your LCD. The Revision number "Rev2.1" printed means that the LCD firmware is Rev 2.1.
  • However, "Rev1.1" printed on the backside doesn't mean that the LCD firmware must be Rev 1.1. Generally speaking, a LCD shipped after January 1, 2016 may be a Rev 2.1 one, although it was printed "Rev1.1".

Note: The only difference between Rev 1.1 and Rev 2.1 is the firmware, but hardware solutions, placement and routing are all the same. (PCB printings might be different due to different production batches.)

You can verify the firmware by these steps:

1. Using Raspberry Pi: Connect the LCD to your Pi (HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of Pi; USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of Pi; 5V~2A power supply). Download the image, e.g. Raspbian, from Raspberry Pi web site. Write the image to a TF card and add the following code to the end of /boot/config.txt:

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0

Save and connect the TF card to your Pi then power up. If touch works, that means the firmware revision is Rev 2.1.

2. Without Raspberry Pi: A PC (Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7) is required which cannot connect with other display device. Connect the LCD to your PC (USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of PC; HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of PC. Please first connect the USB Ports then connect the HDMI Port). If a new touch drive is recognized by Windows, that means the firmware revision is Rev 2.1. In this case, after the driver successfully installed, you can use the LCD as a human interface device.

  • If the touch function doesn't work properly after these steps, the firmware revision is often Rev 1.1, which can also work by other methods, see Rev 1.1 Manual.

FAQ

 Answer:
To use the LCD with the Raspberry Pi official image, driver should be installed first. Please refer to the user manual. However, for the first testing, you may want to use our provided image directly.

 Answer:
Make sure the hardware connection is correct and connects fine.

Make sure the image in TF card is burnt correctly.

The PWR will keep on and the ACT will keep blinking when the Raspberry Pi starts up successfully, in case both of the two LEDs keep on, it is possible that the image were burnt incorrectly OR the TF card were in bad contact.

 Answer:
It is strongly recommended to use a stand-alone 5V/2A power adapter, because the USB port of PC might not have enough power to support the Pi and LCD.
