Resources
Installing the graphic driver for the LCD on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B:
- Please get a microSD card with the latest NOOBS/Raspberry Pi OS/Raspbian, or update the OS.
- Stack the LCD onto Raspberry Pi, before the graphic driver is installed, the Raspberry Pi will output graphics to an HDMI port, so you will need a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to access the terminal.
- Access to Raspberry Pi OS through the terminal or SSH too.
- Install the graphic driver into Raspberry Pi OS
- Execute the following command:
- sudo rm -rf LCD-show
- git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
- chmod -R 755 LCD-show
- cd LCD-show/
- sudo ./MHS35-show
- After this command, the Raspberry Pi will restart and the graphic will be displayed on 3.5 LCD instead of HDMI port.
- The touch screen works without any special driver, as we tested on the latest Raspberry Pi OS (30 July 2020).
