[@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.

[@ohiodude38]

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?

[@streetsommelier6037]

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?

[@matt.ny84]

Do I have to do this every time I want to switch from HDMI to the LCD or LCD to HDMI? Is there a way to have the pi automatically switch when a HDMI cable is plugged in and unplugged??

Hello sir I saw this video long ago. It helped me allot. But I had got an issue right now. When I connected my Raspberry Pi with a 3.5mm LCD display, everything was functioning correctly. However, upon attempting to integrate object detection into the system, the LCD display started showing a blank screen. Interestingly, when I previously added live streaming capabilities, the display worked perfectly fine. I have tried several troubleshooting methods to rectify the issue, but unfortunately, none of them have been successful. As someone experienced in Raspberry Pi projects, I am reaching out to you for assistance in identifying and resolving the root cause of this problem. I would be immensely grateful if you could spare some time to review my project and provide any insights or suggestions that could help me overcome this hurdle. Your expertise and guidance would be invaluable in ensuring the successful completion of my project.

[@BilalKhan-do9il]

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 .

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.

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.
