It has been done before with smaller restive and capacitive screens, and also that link IRoN posted shows that i can work.
The problem with the early builds was that the R-Pi was a little bit to light weight to run both the screen with webpage (full gui) and volumio with all the audio optimizations.
Since then the R-Pi 2 came out 6 times stronger cpu than the original R-Pi so it should run smooth(er) now.
Anybody done yet? Is there any ‘How-To’ for Volumio 2?
How about the worries on audio quality? Are the RPI2 / RPI 3 specs enough to forget about the “head”?
The display itself is compatible out of the box with Volumio, just connect it and it will output video.
To display the webui: we’re working on a plugin for that…
I really like this new Touchscreen plugin, but I have one question: is it possible to turn of the mouse cursor? When using a touchscreen one doesn’t need it and it actually doesn’t look good. It seems to be possible by adding ‘nocursor’ somewhere, but I have no clue where (sorry not so experienced with Linux). Anyone who can give me a hint?
I use a RP3 with a Waveshare 10.1" 1280×800 IPS touchscreen (HDMI + USB).
I have managed to get a waveshare 3.5 inch GPIO screen working with the Raspbian, but no luck with the Volumio
The intention was to see the current track of a web radio.
Maybe it would be possible to include the Wavehare screen drivers to next Volumio Raspberry build? Since I do not know the Linux background that good, then a NO is also an answer
At the moment a Raspberry Pi B has been playing for weeks with Autoplay plugin with a web radio. Have tried also the touchscreen plugin over HDMI with a screen, but it is too heavy (chromium) for version B.
