Driver Installation

This LCD Module need install driver first.

Step 1：Download the Raspbian IMG

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Step 2: Burn the system image

If you don't know how to do that,you can refer to the Raspberry Pi office tutorial

Step 3: Open terminal(SSH) and install the driver on RaspberryPi

(tested on RaspberryPi 3B+,3B,2B,2B+,1B,ZERO)

Run:

git clone https://github.com/waveshare/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

Wait A Few Minutes, when the system reboot ok, you can see that.

Use PWM to control backlight brightness

gpio -g pwm 18 1024
gpio -g mode 18 pwm
gpio pwmc 1000
gpio -g pwm 18 X

P.S. The X value can be 0~1024

Touch screen calibration

• This LCD can be calibrated using a program called xinput_calibrator
• Install it with the commands:

cd LCD-show/

sudo dpkg -i -B xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1_armhf.deb

• Click the Men button on the task bar, choose Preference -> Calibrate Touchscreen.
• Finish the touch calibration following the prompts. Maybe rebooting is required to make calibration active.
• You can create a 99-calibration.conf file to save the touch parameters (not necessary if file exists).

/ect/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

• Save the touch parameters (may differ depending on LCD) to 99-calibration.conf, as shown in the picture:
