Installation Failing

[codejedi365]

Hi, I am trying to install Octoscreen with the Octopi image on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and the 3.5" LCD touchscreen. I followed the installation instructions you have posted coupled with the LCD installation instructions from github.com/goodtft/LCD-Show. I have successfully configured Octoprint and can navigate to the web interface from my primary computer. I also changed the main.py file to reflect my different pixel settings 480x320

I have not installed any desktop gui (hoping octoscreen eliminates any need for it).

I am still not seeing any octoscreen view. The software runs and just hangs (see the attached file for output log from kivy). I was logged in as Pi and ran the following command
~/oprint/bin/python ~/octoscreen/main.py

PLEASE HELP!

That log file looks good, and Octoscreen does not require a desktop gui. Do you have a link to the touchscreen? If it connects to the pi through the GPIO pins, I don't think it will work with the Pi's GPU. Since Kivy will try and use the GPU on the Pi, you may need to find a way to disable that through Kivy.

Thank you for getting back to me. It does connect through GPIO pins and I did not know that about the GPU. That might explain some of the results I got. I hooked it up through HDMI to another screen and was able to get kivy (showcase demo) and octoscreen to display. When I returned to the LCD still no luck until I found this Stack Overflow post, and downloaded rpi-fbcp. Running this software concurrently seems to help display to the screen but I am still having issues with touch interaction of the LCD. I am currently checking the LCD driver installation for issues.

As requested the LCD display I am using is here
