Re: mintyPi Screen
Directly to what pcb? If you're buying the screen separately, I'm assuming you don't mean Helder's pcb? How good are your soldering skills? The pins on that board are very small...

Re: DIY 2.4in LCD in MintyPi!
Nice one! I'm making a custom 2.2 with a PCB chopped up from a dslite. Good to see how others are rocking the diy builds!

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Everytime I've said 90 degrees. I've meant 180. Forgive the brain melt. It's been a long day!

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Yeah, I think if the image moved down (right?) 2 more rows, it would work without rotation BUT as moosepr has just stated, I'm very surprised that with 90 degrees of rotation on, the image (text especially) appears clearer. So though it is effectively upside down compared to what moosepr has shown u...

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Hey kite. Ignore the above. I found the files in /lib/modules/4.4.50+/kernel/drivers/staging/fbtft. I copied the new ones you supplied across and hey presto, the junk at the side of the screen is gone! There are still.... 2? Lines of junk at the bottom though so then I thought I'd try a rotate and s...

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Hi Kite. Thanks for this. Do you mean /lib/modules/4.4.50+ ? As I don't have an extra folder in there at present. I tried copying the whole folder across, but then the amendment to the config file stops the driver from loading at all. I also have a /lib/modules/4.4.50-v7+ folder which does have an e...

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Just followed your link and it does indeed seem to be a similar issue, with the exception that I'm not currently using the rotate option. The ST7735r driver already had the screen the way round that I wanted. (The other driver was rotated 180) it's not a massive loss I guess. But when you only have ...

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Cheers! I had a play with the flex driver on some of my other screens bit like you, never had any success. It's a good idea in theory!
I do plan to put this in a (tiny) case, so I'll just design the screen opening to fit the available pixels.

Re: Worlds Smallest Pi Based Gaming Device (possibly)
Hi moosepr. My tiny screen just turned up, and I've sort of got it working. I have got a couple of questions though if you wouldn't mind. Firstly, I've tried both drivers you mention, (adding the height and width settings to the fb_st7735r) and both work, but leave me with a couple of lines of "corr...

Re: Copper Tape Button Board
Hi Wermy! I'm interested in a guide for this! Just didn't want to sound pushy asking you if it was still something you were looking into! Would there be any chance of a couple of pictures of your board? Cheers!
