raspberry pi 4 display issues.
December 25, 2023, 12:16
Hey guys, I bought a raspberry pi 4 2gb modell and a waveshare 3,5 inch display connecting only on the gpio pins. When I follow the instuctions from any website I just can't get IT to work. After IT reboots there are only a black screen amd nothing happens. I tried 10 different sites instuctions bot nothing is working. Can anyone please help?
you may need to download drivers
Can you send a link or smthing because I think I did IT but I don't know for sure and im New in this hobby
I'm not sure what they are but when you buy it there should be some documentation on it given to you
like in the description or something
or their website
I tried exactly what the website said but its just reboots and both screens are black (HDMI and gpio)
I don't know then
Please post a URL to the instructions and what OS have you installed
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A) here are the instuctions (I have the exact same display, I tried normal raspbian (32&64bit) and tried legacy with 32 & 64 bit. Nothing worked
The latest Raspberry Pi OS is defaulting to Wayland and the instruction is for X.11. Either use the previous OS or change from Wayland to X.11 or search for a Waveshare instruction for Wayland
How do I change from wayland to x11? Im searching right now but I don't find anything.
raspi-config I think
I did evrything bit it didn't work on the newer version, i installed buster and its working, if anyone has this problem just say that he has to install raspberry pi os buster. But thank you for your help
