So I got the OSOYOO 5" yesterday.

Having some minor issues: 

- after installing Jivelite the default in web browser tweaks was 180
degree screen rotation; screen was correctly oriented but touch was
upside down.  Changing to 0 resolves the touch being upside down and
doesn't change screen so working but seems odd.

- Power off button (or what I assume is supposed to be power off) in
upper left corner of touch screen doesn't work

- Everytime Jivelite starts it's in some foreign language,  changing to
English doesn't seem to persist in settings.

All minor,  5" does seem large enough and obviously way better than the
uPerfect.

The Hyperpixel 4 is an excellent touchscreen, capacitive touch is
definitely the way to go, vs resistive.  I found it a bit too small for
JiveLite, but it works well with a custom app with larger touch areas.

The 5" OSOYOO touchscreen works nicely for pCP/JiveLite.  It does need a
more stable stand, as it tips easily.

See this thread for a couple of options with the smaller screens:

Never heard of DPI before and I've not looked at waveshare threads.  I
will.

I'm curious on screen size.  Does 4" work well?  Vs 7"   4" is smaller
than my phone.   A subjective question I realize.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Touchscreen display for piCorePlayer

2021-12-27 Thread paul-

The hyper pixel uses the dpi interface, so it uses a bunch of pins on
the interface.  I have not checked if it consumes pins needed by the
Dac.   A USB Dac would work fine.

There are many waveshare options, but every screen is different, and
uses different drivers.  It’s hard to keep track of them…..and then
there are different rev levels on the boards that use different drivers
too.  The specific waveshare you linked, you need to check pinouts on
the heard for the touch function….. and need to research the needed
touch driver.

Have you looked at the waveshare threads on the forum?

I'd been under the impression 7" may be too small but I guess that
PIM369 is 4".

'This on Amazon seems similar.'
(https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-LCD-Resolution-Resistive-Screen/dp/B07P5H2315)
except it looks like it uses the header just for the touch function
and requires the monitor to connect to the rPI's HDMI port.   Not sure
if it works with rPi4?

Thanks for the suggestions.   Keep the advice coming.   Thank you!

For the uPerfect I bought my expectation was that the touch screen
device should appear in dmesg/lsusb when connected.   Obviously a driver
may be required but the base kernel USB stack should detect a device
trying to registered even if it has no corresponding driver.   There is
a 4-pin TE "picoblade" connector and also a micro-usb connector, either
of which should be connected to the Pi's USB port. You can see it
shown at 12:30 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HUt6tRReEQ

I see no log messages of any kind.  I talked to the video's author and
he suggested (common issue) to ensure the uPerfect is getting sufficient
power.  I tried powering it directly from a 3A power supply instead of
the PI's GPIO pins (which uPerfect said would work) and there was no
change.

uPerfect are utterly useless, won't respond,  won't honor warranty.  
VISA told me I'd waited too long to file a dispute.

I just want something functional.   My sense is that since the skin is
800x480 that a 7" is probably sufficient.Also given the negative
experience of the uPerfect I want to not waste good money after bad.

I've not seen this.  

The DigiAmp+ re-exposes all 40 pins of the rpi header.  See:

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Touchscreen display for piCorePlayer

2021-12-27 Thread Redrum


I have been thinking of doing something similar, so I bought a Amazon
Fire 8" tablet I didn't need on Black Friday for, I think about $60USD
(currently about 90). You can currently get the 7" one for about $50.
The Fire tablets are inexpensive in part because Amazon is selling you
an Amazon promotion and advertisement machine. 

You can (I have) use the XDA Developers "Fire Toolkit" to "de-amazon"
the tablet and return it close to stock android. Installed the Material
apk from F-Droid and I have it laying around in my main listening area
to use as a squeezebox UI. 

You can modify it via developer options to stay awake, or, I believe
there are non root options to have a "tap or swipe to wake" out
there...

My thought was to have it in a box with a pi, build the box to allow the
charger micro USB to be inserted in the side (maybe a right angle
adaptor). The only other challenge is if you leave it always on, or have
a screensaver with tap or swipe to wake it. I haven't really tried to
think that through yet as I haven't started the project, especially with
rpi's in short supply. I think Ideally I would want it to remain on
while playing, screensaver otherwise. Haven't looked into how to do
that.

The nice thing is the Material interface is wonderful (thanks again
Craig!) and you also have a fully functioning tablet on the wall to be
able to pop up weather, or whatever in addition to your sb control.

There are many that work, but the drivers are completely manual, and
support is poor.   But if you are willing to do some tinkering, then
there are provisions in pCP for custom setup routines for offbrand
screens.

What size screen do you want?

I have a setup with
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/hyperpixel-4?variant=12569485443155. 
Which works nicely, but it uses most of the 40pin rpi header, so if you
want a DAC Hat, then its not the right choice.

But yes, skin support can be tricky if you are using touch.  The
resolution 800x480 is the resolution needed for the Grid Skin.  If you
just want display, then there are other resolutions that work fine.
