8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

8.1 Display Not Showing or Incorrect Resolution on Raspberry Pi

If the display is not showing correctly or the resolution is off when connected to a Raspberry Pi, you may need to modify the /boot/config.txt file. This is a common step for non-standard resolutions.

1. Accedi al config.txt file on your Raspberry Pi's SD card.
2. Aggiungi le seguenti righe alla fine di file. These settings are for a 1024x576 resolution, which often works well without disabling 3D acceleration:

# 5-inch Elecrow 800x480 option
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
display_rotate=0
dtparam=audio=on
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0

For touch functionality, ensure the following line is also present or added:

dtoverlay=ads7846,cs=1,penirq=25,penirq_pull=2,speed=50000,keep_vref_on=0,swapxy=0,pmax=255,xohms=150,xmin=200,xmax=3900,ymin=200,ymax=3900

After modifying, save the file and reboot your Raspberry Pi.
