Raspberry Pi 5" Touch Screen Aluminium Profile Side Mount

Based on an older design which was made for rear mount, this one is for front mount. Left and Right mounts are included.

As I've used 4mm Dibond as side panels I added a version with additional 4mm spacing to the aluminium frame.

Display case for a Raspberry Pi 3 model B (fit also for Pi2 Model B) 800x480 5" TFT display with XPT2046 touch screen which fits best to a BLV MGN Cube

It can run Repetier Server Pro / OctoPrint including a Camera Mount for a remote view. As controller I used a Lerdge-K inkl. USB-B extension board.

This Thing is based on some of my old designs: thing:2839207 and thing:2963794

Set-Up, Rotate Display to 90° and Calibrate.

This part is the most annoying... i needed 1 day to figure out how to calibrate it because it does not work as you can find in most tutorials.

1. Download your Firmware and put it on to your SD-Card
2. Connect your Raspberry Pi including a network connection.

2.1 Install Git sudo apt install git xinput-calibrator xserver-xorg-input-evdev -y 3. Follow Up the Tutorial: elecrow.com Start on Step 3

For Repetier Sever with an RPI image from Repetier 4. Connect over SSH (Terminal) to your Raspberry PI

4.1 Run in Terminal sudo cp -rf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-evdev.conf 5. Rotate Display

5.1 Connect over SSH (Terminal) to your Raspberry PI

5.2 Run in Terminal: echo 'display_rotate=1' | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

5.3 Insert the basic Parameters for your rotation with nano: Section "InputClass"

Identifier "calibration"

MatchProduct "ADS7846 Touchscreen"

Option "Calibration" "200 4000 4000 100"

Option "SwapAxes" "1"

EndSection

5.4 Run in Terminal: sudo reboot 6. Calibration (Only if your not statisfyed with the calibration)

6.1 Connect over SSH (Terminal) to your Raspberry PI

6.2 Run in Terminal: DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput_calibrator

6.4 Calibrate your Touch screen

6.5 Insert the new calibration offsets into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf as you can see in the termianl.

6.6 You can use nano, run in Terminal: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf sudo reboot
