Hi guys, I'm working on my own set of augmented reality glasses, and am using a raspberry pi 4 as the computer for it l. The thing works fine, but the display is horizontally flipped. Is there a way to change the orientation of the display with commands in the terminal or editing config.txt? Any help would be appreciated, couldn't find much info on this topic anywhere really π
Oh yeah and for further context I'm just using the normal 32bit version of raspbian you find on the front page of the imager
For even further context this is exactly what you see when looking through the viewfinder
You can see that the pi logo which is by default in the top left corner is now in the top right corner
the mouse is also horizontally flipped
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated π
> 1. Open Menu > Preferences
> 2. Select Screen Configuration
> 3. In the new window, right-click the display
> 4. Select Orientation and choose one of the four options
> 5. Click the green check to confirm and apply the new orientation
Rotation is not the same as flipping the display horizontally
That's the problem
ah yes I see
Is there a way to do it with xrandr
not sure, now I see what you mean by it not being documented
Yeah
in screen config is Flipping it or something similar there?
You can invert it but I think it does both horizontal and vertical which is not what I want
Just let me know if anyone gets any sort of solution
I'm currently looking at the documentation for xrandr and I think I may have a solution though I doubt it's permanent between reboots
I'll try to make a startup script with that xrandr command in it
I'll keep you updated
ok thanks
wait if it flips vertically can't you just flip it in real life vertically back? but keep it horizontal still
No, as it flips both vertically and horizontally, not asin rotation but mirrored
ah ok
dang nothing?
Any help appreciated
ok i got an idea tho
any script you run or vidoes you take etc, you just flip them
