Usage

When users connect the Raspberry Pi to use, they need to configure the official system. Or you can also burn the configured system image directly.
Tips:Basic for Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL (2017-04-10-raspbian-jessie.img)

Step 1:Download the Raspbian IMG

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Step 2: Burn the system image

If you don't know how to do that,you can refer to the Raspberry Pi office tutorial

Step 3: Open terminal and Download the driver on RPI

Run:

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

Wait A Few Minutes, when the system reboot ok, you can see that.

Touch screen calibration

  • This LCD can be calibrated using a program called xinput_calibrator
  • Install it with the commands:
cd LCD-show/
sudo dpkg -i -B xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb
  • Click the Men button on the task bar, choose Preference -> Calibrate Touchscreen.
  • Finish the touch calibration following the prompts. Maybe rebooting is required to make calibration active.
  • You can create a 99-calibration.conf file to save the touch parameters (not necessary if file exists).
/ect/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
  • Save the touch parameters (may differ depending on LCD) to 99-calibration.conf, as shown in the picture:
