How to rotate Dakboard display?

[HoumirKinkar]

I put Dakboard OS on my Pi 3B and am using the free edition, which just supports landscape display. Adding display_rotate=1 to the config file using sudo nano /boot/config.txt should turn on the display, according what I read on forums. Still, the display does not rotate following this modification. Is another config file Dakboard utilizes, or might the constraints of the free account prohibit this change? I need the display in portrait orientation to match the wall mount, hence any help would be much valued.

Hello,
To rotate your DAKboard display on a Raspberry Pi 3B running RuneAudio, follow these steps:

1. Edit the config.txt File:
You mentioned already adding display_rotate=1 to /boot/config.txt. This setting should indeed rotate the display to portrait mode. The values are:
0 = normal
1 = 90 degrees
2 = 180 degrees
3 = 270 degrees
Make sure you save the file after editing. To do this correctly, you can use:

Code: Select all

bash
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Add the line if it's not there, or ensure it's correctly set:

Code: Select all

bash
display_rotate=1

2. Reboot the Raspberry Pi:
After saving the changes, reboot the Pi for the changes to take effect:

Code: Select all

bash
sudo reboot
