Hello Greg I am also trying to get the touch function of the
5.5"waveshare display to work properly in a low res. Skin.
I followed the description below:

If you make changes to ts.conf, you need to add it to the persistent
backup list
edit /opt/.filetool.lst
and addusr/local/etc/ts.conf
to the end of the list of files. Then do a backup before rebooting.

Thanks. I've tried Ralphy's suggestion:
"It's likely that /usr/local/etc/ts.conf needs to be modified for your
screen. The defaults are for the rpi 7" screen. "
I did that (uncommenting the last line):
Code:
# Uncomment to use ts_calibrate's settings

Yes, I think you're right. I believe it's this screen:

- and with Raspbian it's calibrated perfectly out of the box. They
recommend the LCD-show driver/calibration routines from GitHub here:

With pCP (and TinyCoreLinux of course) I'm not sure how to calibrate?

Almost certainly not a Waveshare/Spotpear screen; I think it's a Jun
Electronics version, which uses a wch touch driver. Have you tried
running it and calibrating on Raspbian, or another more mainstream RPi
OS? That may give some clues...
This is the back of my screen - obviously a totally different design
from yours, and I'm beginning to wonder if it is in fact a Waveshare
screen at all:

If it is 1024X600 with capacitive touch, then it's either a C or an H.
If it
Thanks, Yatsushiro - I will look at that too. I have a capacitative

It's likely that /usr/local/etc/ts.conf needs to be modified for your
screen. The defaults are for the rpi 7" screen.

You need to read the contents of LCD-7CShow and then perform some of
those things manually. You *_can_not_* run the script automatically.
But all of the stuff that goes into config.txt is required.

Thanks, Greg. You did indeed warn me - and that's when I started
worrying that, by installing such things, I was doing things not allowed
and beyond my pay grade!
Thanks too, Paul. It is true, I did use different event numbers, as I
had installed a power-off switch between the two episodes.
In your first example you used
/dev/input/event6
and in your second you used
/dev/input/event7
I see that pCP on the official RPi touchscreen uses
/dev/input/event2
So - I think one thing to resolve is which is the right event number to
use for this device.
I do not know how to work this out
You missed my warning about those scripts.
We don't install bash.

Thanks for the replies, Greg and Paul.
I installed "git" into pcp's TinyCoreLinux with
Code:
tce-load -iw git
then used
Code:
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755
What touch driver is it using?

Hi mooblie,
The scripts from Waveshare (and the various OEM versions) assume you are

Hi
I appreciate that PCP/Jivelite works out of the box with the Pi's own
7in touchscreen, and the commercial reasons for doing that.
However, I am trying (as are others) to get PCP to work with the range
of Waveshare 5 & 7 inch touchscreens. They are HDMI-attached for
