I am new to all things Raspberry Pi. I have managed to get the system running and view data from my solar setup in my van via a web browser but i am looking to install the Pi touchscreen in my van too. Is there anywhere to download the pre configured setup? TIA.

I'd stick with the current release: http://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/release/images/raspberrypi2/venus-image-raspberrypi2-20200405141454-v2.53.rootfs.rpi-sdimg.zip
I've found in the recent builds, the official 7 inch touch screen works out of the box. No drivers, downloads or calibration required. You just need to rename the headless file to headless.off. If you SSH in you can run this:
mv /etc/venus/headless /etc/venus/headless.off
Then reboot and it should work out. Keep in mind with every update, you'll lose lose the headless change you made so you can look to create an rc.local file that will copy back your settings you changed.
Thanks. I have read this somewhere else on here. I have tried to do this but I can’t SSH into my Pi. Even using the correct details & password etc it just comes back with “access denied”.
As a newbie this is frustrating.
