Hardware Configuration

The LCD module adopts the in-line design, and can be directly inserted into the GPIO

port of the RaspberryPi development board according to the wiring requirements, and

does not need to be deliberately wired. The module also contains two modules: touch

control circuit and LCD display control circuit.

The touch control circuit is responsible for controlling touch events, including

powering the touch control IC, acquiring touch breaks, acquiring ADC values of touch

locations, and touch calibration.

The LCD display circuit is responsible for LCD display control, including GPIO control

of the LCD screen, display of color value reading and writing, and register configuration.

Instructions for use

The First Method

1. directly download the system image file we provided, burn it into the micro SD, and

then put it on the RaspberryPi. For the specific burning method, see the following

file:

http://www.lcdwiki.com/res/PublicFile/How_to_use_Raspberry_Pi(Download,Format,Bur

n,SSH,PuTTy)-V1.0.pdf

The image file download can be downloaded from the resource download section

of the following URL.

The Second Method

1. download the latest official system image file

The official website of each system is as follows:

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

Ubuntu：https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/

Kali-linux：https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/

RetroPie：https://retropie.org.uk/download/

2. make a system image file

The specific production methods are as follows:

http://www.lcdwiki.com/res/PublicFile/How_to_use_Raspberry_Pi(Download,Format,Bur

n,SSH,PuTTy)-V1.0.pdf

3. connect to RaspberryPi

Insert the LCD screen holder to the right to insert the Raspberry Pi pin.

Insert the MicroSD card that burns the official system image file, connect the

network cable, and connect the power supply.

4. install LCD driver

A. Install on the Raspbian system (the Raspberry Pi needs to connect to the

Internet)

1) Open the putty connection ssh, enter the username and password to log in to

the Raspberry Pi terminal (the default username and password are shown in

the table below).

System Default username default password

The specific login party see the following file to add the SSH file and use the

putty to connect to the RaspberryPi description section:

http://www.lcdwiki.com/res/PublicFile/How_to_use_Raspberry_Pi(Download,Format,

Burn,SSH,PuTTy)-V1.0.pdf

2) After the login is successful, execute the following command (you need to

connect the RaspberryPi to the Internet):

sudo rm -rf LCD-show

git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MHS35-show
B. Install on the Ubuntu Mate, Kali, Retropie system

1) Download the local driver(Because of system differences, the driver

downloaded from github cannot run normally in the three systems Ubuntu

Mate, Kali, Retropie, so only local drivers can be used)

The local driver download can be found in the LCD driver section of Method 2

used in the Raspberry/Rbbian/Ubuntu Mate/Kali/Retropie system on the

following page.

3) Copy the local driver to the running Raspberry Pi system and execute the

following command to extract it (can be copied by SD card or FileZilla

software)

tar –xvzf LCD-show.tar.gz

4) Execute the following command to install the LCD driver

chmod -R 755 LCD-show

cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MHS35-show
5. Check if the driver is successfully installed

After the LCD driver is installed, the system will automatically restart. After the

startup is successful, the LCD can display and touch normally,indicating that the

driver installation is successful.

Note:
1) The setting method of ubuntu system login through SSH is as follows:
