LCD advice please my Volumio friends

[Lintbf]

Ok
I need to decide to build a streamer with 4.3 waveshare or 5 inch osoyoo…
What do you think? I can not decide
Thanks

[Darmur]

It depends if you prefer a slightly bigger screen or if you prefer to save some money.

[Lintbf]

Yes…
I see that osoyoo is tft and waveshare is ips,
It will matter on this size? What is the most performant in terms of quality, resolution etc… View the artist image etc.
Thanks in advance

.

[Krishnakaramana]

this type 4.3 inch tuch disply waveshare DSI work volumio Raspberry directly? need eny driver?

[gvolt]

You just need to install the Touch Display plugin, no driver required.

Be aware that there is possibly a problem switching off the backlight when the display is rotated by 90 or 270 deg. as reported by @buma

[PLUGIN] Touch Display

Hello there, new to the board, but not to Volumio. I built a stand-alone headphone music server with a Raspberry Pi 4 and a DSI monitor (WaveShare 4.3" capacitive touch display) using the latest build of Volumio (2.917) and the Touch Display plugin (1.3.0), and no other plugins. Everything works just fine except for the Screensaver Setting - it won’t turn off. This was a rebuild of an earlier project using the same RPi but with a different screen. The screensaver worked fine on the older scr…

and confirmed by @michel8166

[PLUGIN] Touch Display

set to 90 degrees and now the problem is also present, it does not turn off, the screen flickers 2x briefly, so it does make an attempt to go out, but it does not go through. by the way the touch is at 90 degrees outline.

[PLUGIN] Touch Display

I also tried 270 degrees, same problem. then there is indeed a difference compared to the Raspberry Pi Foundation touchscreen. Shame.

[PLUGIN] Touch Display

got to test it a little earlier. okay a fresh install of volumio2 on a raspberry pi 3b version 1.2. touchscreen set to 90 degrees and 20 seconds timeout and no screensaver on. and here also the same problem after 20 seconds the screen dims slightly also at 270 degrees it does not work. only difference is that now the touch is good.

Waveshare suggested a hardware modification to solve the issue:

@gvolt @michel8166 so, Waveshare replied… sorta [waveshare-response]

I don’t know if this works and if Waveshare has done this themselves on the current PCB layout.

i think 4.3 inch Wave share HDMI tuch display work perfectly? is it ?

[gvolt]

Will it work perfectly? I can’t comment on that display as I don’t own one, but the following can be noted:

In contrast to the DSI display you will have to SSH into Volumio and modify the file “/boot/userconfig.txt”.

Also the HDMI display does not support adjusting the display brightness by software (but it seems to provide an OSD menu to set brightness).

I have the waveshare 4.3" display for the little Volumio system I gave to my parents, it works fine

[Krishnakaramana]

[Darmur]

Don’t worry, the DSI version works very well, including touchscreen

If you are still looking for pictures of the display, forum search helps :

Is this 5'' 800x480 TFT Raspberry Pi DSI Touchscreen compatible with the official touchplugin?

put to the test with the same DSI 4.3 inch touch screen. new latest volumio 3 image install, plugin downloaded and activated, works just fine no problem. otherwise no changes were made on the system if only the touch plugin was installed. as writing program i used raspberry pi imager.

My self-build volumio streamer

Made another streamer last week, now for my brother-in-law. if you want to build it, below are the parts used for this project. more photos are below. [IMG_20210927_113814] a bit of soldering experience is a must. I did the cutout for the 4.3 inch SDI touch screen by hand, it is best to do this with a CNC machine. see last photo how I secured/screwed this. for the external 5volt for the khadas I use Solution 2 (warranty valid): , see link. https://www.khadas.com/post/tone-1-separating-da…
