BLV mgn Cube Raspberry Pi 5" Touch Screen and Camera

Raspberry Pi 2&3 5" Touch Screen

Repetier Server Pro or OctoPrint (FREE!)

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.

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"

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.
