Hello,
I am running Venus OS on a Pi4 - I can make the GIU display on a standard desktop monitor.
I am attempting to now display instead on a local 7” touchscreen:
(JUN-ELECTRON Portable Monitor with Acrylic Case 7 inch Screen - IPS Capacitive Display 1024x600 - Compatible for Raspberry Pi 4)
The Victron GUI does successfully display on the touchscreen but is I think ‘uncalibrated’ (completely offset) from the touch and is unusable.
The touchscreen manufacturer has instructions on their wiki to add these commands to the config.txt file:
max_usb_current=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=1
display_rotate=0
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
I think I did this correctly (I checked to see that it was saved.)
I have rebooted and tried repeatedly but I have had no change in the Venus OS GUI touch miscalibration.
I have read on the Victron community forum something about 'calibration.' There is mention of using RpiDisplaySetup. I looked it up on Github and there it mentions first installing SetupHelper (also on another Github page.)
So, I'm a bit stuck in that I do not really know how to install SetupHelper so that I can then Install RpiDisplaySetup so I can then attempt to 'calibrate' my touchscreen to my Rpi Venus OS.
If it were a matter of typing commands into the config.txt file I can do that (I've confirmed that I have done that before.)
I bet this is really basic - 'installing SetupHelper and RpiDisplaySetup.
Just need a pointer on how.
Thank you!
