[@oceanseabear]

@@blakegray9883 Hi Blake, I'm currently using it as an addition to my Ham radio hotspot to show my DMR radio dashboard. Trying to keep my equipment as portable as possible. TBH the screen is smaller than my phone screen. Probably getting a 7"/8" screen that fits to Pi would be more useful for more applications. M.A.R.

[@rokaq5163]

Thanks. Followed each step carefully, but ended up with an completely white screen and raspbian not fully booting up. Now I have to restart my final degree project from scratch. Very helpful.

I just did this on a pi with no keyboard , monitor or hdmi display. Dropped an empty file named ssh on the boot partition, fired it up, ssh'd in, ran the commands and boom was able to complete the raspian setup via the now working LCD. Thanks

[@robrobinette]

Worked for me, thank you very much TricK.

[@TrickiKnow]

Welcome

[@Ri-Ci]

Thank you! Simple and easy. I used a Kuman 3.5" touchscreen from Amazon with a RPI 3 B+, the only issue was although the lcd-show folder was clearly there, it wouldn't allow me to set permissions with chmod from the command line, I just skipped the part and was able to set the permissions later once I had the screen running.

[@martondobras-vincze6123]

Thank you! Worked 100% for first try... even i installed my screen before after a reinstall i had to do it again, so this was 1000 times less pain than before! TY!

Super easy to follow your instructions and get the screen display to work. Once the Pixel OS displays, the screen doesn't accept any input and even using keyboard/mouse, the cursor won't move. Is there a way to code the display to mirror on HDMI output so that both screens are on at the same time?

[@Swaggmade]

Thank you. This got my screen working in seconds, while I’ve been trying for days searching online with no luck. It really is super easy. However, is there a super easy way to uninstall it? Not revert it back to HDMI, or disable it, but completely remove the script, or completely undo what the script does? Thanks!

[@sudo_su_mh]

With these commands, my Kali on Rasp 3b+ doesn't start in graphical mode, and the touch doesn't work. Is there any command that would solve this?

[@thecriticalpoint]

Upvoted for visibility. I'm usually decent at this stuff but I haven't been able to get anything but bullseye to run on my 3b+, and even then the problem I have is that the GUI doesn't load. The screen definitely works because it shows the startup service status messages. It won't load the gui. I can drop back down to shell but I don't know what to fix. There's all kinds of conflicting info on this friggin thing and waveshare support is fcuking useless. 10hrs on this GDMF problem.

Pro tip: enable ssh before uploading this code and make sure you connect your pi with a network before uploading this code , if something goes wrong and u aren't connected to wifi or not enabled ssh then you'll have to format your sd card .

It just downloaded the codes then froze at the end. Doesn't recognize keyboard or 3.5 monitor, mouse. I unplugged it and powered back on several times only to see the couple pages of code load up and then nothing. Can't even reset or go to the menu fro retropie and raspian. It seems the sd card is corrupted somehow now and I can't get into the code because I dont have a device that can read/write on a sd that small, and the pie just freezes up on that downloaded code every time at startup. Any suggestions?
