Support for: 7″ Touchscreen Monitor for Raspberry Pi

7th-son

Thanks Frank!

Up till now i think solved the problem myself, well at least i think i did.
I read something on this forum about that you could setup your wifi settings with Ethernet and wifi dongle connected at the same time.
I tried with Ethernet, and it worked immediately. I then setup my settings for my wifi dongle with my laptop, clicked the save button.
Then i saw a popup saying that it takes some time setting up the network connection. I didn't get this with only the wifi dongle.
And now it works, and it says it's connected through ethernet, and wifi. Ofcourse i will disconnect the ethernet and keep you informed.

A quick heads up and edit:
It now works with Wifi dongle only!
I'm a happy man!

You can update kernel and firmware with:

pacman -Sy --force raspberrypi-firmware-bootloader linux-raspberrypi

Frank

This has fixed the problem with sleep. I would recommend anyone who is having a problem with getting the screen to wakeup to update their firmware.

The image is now perfect for me.

HI Frank~

Too great!

I have tried rpi2_0.3-beta_20151106_2GB.img
Also update
/root/.local/share/midori/styles/local-styles　
&
http://myip/dev update runeui gitpull

Equipment: pi2b + HDMI PC display = normal display - rotation OK

Question:

1. need to enter cache to clear http://myip\dev every other period of time?

2.default-encoding=ISO-8859-1 <-- Non English will be garbled.(>_<;)

3. Can use 3.5 inches LCD screen MODE PI2B in SPI?

4. this picture. Using the HDMI connection?

5. Can make the LCD screen not show "volume control"? Just like this one on the photo..
and don't stand up

6. MPD play a FILE PI WAV will appear on the card dead light... And will not restore
their own, must be forced to re boot to restore,

This problem is 0.3bata. But it will continue to play for two seconds. This version will not be able to continue.

I'm running the rpi2_0.3-beta_20151106_2GB image for some days now on an RP2 with the official 7" touchscreen and an IQaudIO Pi-DAC+. Sound is impressing and the user interface works fine on the touchscreen. A few suggestions:

dpms can be used ("xset dpms 0 0 300") after updating kernel & firmware as suggested here. A must have if running the RP 24x7. It would be nice to make this configurable via web. Perhaps there should be a hook to disable dpms if audio is playing.

With board rev V1.1 the brightness of the display can be set to 0-255. Would be nice to set this from the runaudio config.

Midori crashes from time to time - esp. if fingers are too impatient. Perhaps displaying the corresponding url when a link is hovered could be made invisible by css (http://midori-browser.org/faqs/) because it prevents reaching the library-tab in some circumstances. local-styles.css was updated as proposed.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Andre,

sorry i missed your post.

1. need to enter cache to clear http://myip\dev every other period of time?

Because of what? What is the problem?

2.default-encoding=ISO-8859-1 <-- Non English will be garbled.(>_<;)

Not only English will work, but you are right we should change this to UTF-8.

ISO 8859-1 encodes what it refers to as "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages. 6.7% of all web pages use ISO 8859-1 in February 2016.[2]

Each character is encoded as a single eight-bit code value. These code values can be used in almost any data interchange system to communicate in the following European languages (with a few exceptions due to missing characters, as noted):
Modern languages with complete coverage

    Afrikaans
    Albanian
    Basque
    Breton
    Corsican
    Danish[a]
    English[b]
    Faroese
    Galician
    German
    Icelandic
    Indonesian
    Italian
    Kurdish[c]
    Leonese
    Luxembourgish[d]
    Malay[e]
    Manx
    Norwegian[f]
    Occitan
    Portuguese[g]
    Rhaeto-Romanic
    Scottish Gaelic
    Spanish
    Swahili
    Swedish

3. Can use 3.5 inches LCD screen MODE PI2B in SPI?

This should work, but i do not think that it will make sense.
The resolution on this small display only is 320px X 240px.

4. this picture. Using the HDMI connection?

This image (RuneAudio version) is made especially for the 7" TFT, but it also works perfect on bigger screens.
The picture you posted here is from an other project. The output (current song, artist, album and cover art)
comes from a python script that i wrote for this project.

5. Can make the LCD screen not show "volume control"? Just like this one on the photo..
and don't stand up

At the moment it is not possible to disable controls on the UI without modifying the code.

6. MPD play a FILE PI WAV will appear on the card dead light... And will not restore
their own, must be forced to re boot to restore,

This is strange and should not happen.
Your memory gets eaten up by something.

Thanks for creating this image. I've been able to get my RPi 2 working with RuneAudio and my 7" touchscreen.

However, I've run into a bug where several fast taps on the touchscreen will result in a white screen on the RPi. RuneAudio appear to be still working (by ssh from another computer), so it appear that the local browser has crashed. I haven't really dug into it to see what is wrong, but I thought I'd see if others have seen this and if there's a fix.

Thanks,
Justin

Frank, I'd like to do... Spent hours fiddling with tons of options to midori ("midori --help-execute"), adapting "a[href]:hover" in the css as described in the FAQs and trying the different modes of midori (--app, --private). Got no reasonable setup without displaying hovered URLs in the left bottom

There are some differences between midori on an ubuntu notebook and the Arch/RP2 implementation - both are midori V0.5.11. On the notebook these URLs in the corner don't appear in fullscreen mode! I'll have a further look.

Hi Justin,

This is not a bug, it is midori opening a new empty window.
I have to find a way to disable this.
Thanks for reporting.

Had a look at this today: The installed midori is GTK3 and this version displays hovered links as an overlay in the lower left corner. No way to suppress this. The version ubuntu installs by default is GTK2 where they are not shown in fullscreen mode. You could install midori-gtk2 (and webkitgtk2, gtk2) instead of the corresponding gtk3 packages. It may be possible to ask the midori developers for a switch to disable the overlay, compile an own version or just leave it as it is...

btw: Is anyone using the beta with an HifiBerry Digi+ ? If I plug the card RP doesn't boot and hangs at the rainbow image. Tried different distributions with 4.1.x kernels - all the same. The "old" RuneAudio and anything with kernel 3.18 boots fine.

morias

Over the weekend I installed a Hifiberry Dac+ Pro on the back of my touchscreen. It will be fully encased in my case once I get a drill big enough but that is a project for next weekend.

On installing the card it was not recognised. I followed this thread:

#2954

And enabled the following in /boot/config.txt

device_tree_param=i2c_arm=on
device_tree_param=i2s=on

I also enabled:

device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus

As I could not find:

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus

Making those changes got it working. Is that the correct way of enabling the sound card or is there a better way to do it?

hondagx35

Hi morias,

Yes this is the correct way.

I also enabled:
device_tree_overlay=hifiberry-dacplus
As I could not find:
dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus

The result is the same.

device_tree_param=i2c_arm=on
device_tree_param=i2s=on

Should work without this, but doesn't hurt to set it.

This is my player with a Hifiberry Dac+ Pro mounted in the case. It is a tight fit. I got the inspiration from the instructable guide.

Hi,

does this image run on a new Pi 3? I'ved tried, but it is already hanging at startup and showing only the rainbow colored background.

Chris

Hi Chris,

i'm working on a new image for the RP3.
It will also have the local browser option as this one.
See also here.

My speakers are a bit off-center, so I usually use alsamixer to shift the balance a bit to the left. Do you know why alsamixer doesn't work in this image?

Thanks! Martin

[root@runeaudio ~]# alsamixer
alsamixer: error while loading shared libraries: libformw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

P.S: I know this has been asked twice so far, but I haven't seen an answer or solution.

hondagx35

Hi Martin,

you can try to update ncurses

pacman -Sy ncurses

but be warned it could break your setup.

I'm about to make a new image for the Pi3 it will also work for thePi2.
It will have a working alsamiixer.

Frank

tinue

Thanks! The new image works great on the Pi 2, and Alsamixer works as well.

The volume control seems different: Before I was at about 20-30, now I need >50 to hear the same volume. Was this switched from logarithmic to absolute?

I am using hardware volume control on the Hifiberry Amp+.

Hi,

I installed the new image and logged in as root. When I start x-window I get the UI of runeaudio showing the playback screen. But I can do nothing, no clicks will be accepted. What can I do?

Thx.
Chris

hondagx35

Hi chris,

When I start x-window I get the UI of runeaudio showing the playback screen.

If you like to start it manually when use

sh /root/.xinitrc

You can configure Rune on the settings page to start the browser on boot (Local browser).

But I can do nothing, no clicks will be accepted. What can I do?

Something broke during the update, sorry.
A new working image is on the way.
