IR Frame doesn't rotate

Snille

@strawberry-3.141 Nope, not yet, not sure who to ask really… It’s even kind of hard to find the brand itself…
It’s this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32-points-32-Inch-IR-Multi-touch-overlay-kit-without-glass-for-Interactive-Table-Multi-Touch/1195149819.html
The model number is at least: NECO-X
Much more then that is hard to find… :)
At least they have support for Linux as a HID compatible device (that should be enough I think).
And it does work, just not in portrait… So, I’m thinking it got to be configurable on the “input-device” itself in rasbian… I just can’t find how. :)

@Snille they advertise For vertical and horizontal installation screen so ask the seller how you can change this

Snille

@strawberry-3.141 Yes, I read that to, but it may also mean like vertical like a monitor (normal landscape) and horizontal like a table (but still in landscape). :)

@Snille Sorry, but I hade a few problems in these weeks, so I didn’t had the chance to fix it…
I asked the manufacturer (thank you @cowboysdude!) and they did send me a driver, but they’ve sent it with 3 extensions: .pkg, .exe, .apk and I’ve no idea how to open them… I have Debian 8 Jessie, by the way.
Any suggestions? :anguished:

Hm, these are drivers for Mac (pkg), Android (apk), Windows (exe)

Maybe you can extract the pkg file and gather the driver files?

@AlessandroRa Hi! Unfortunately the manufacturer do not have any drivers for ARM.
I ended up with using it as a normal “HID” device. I have to rotate the frame manually with this command in SSH: DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
But I cant get it to stick after reboot. So, I have to do it after every boot when everything has started.
I did not get the xinnput_calibration values to stick either. I’m in Rasbian Jessie Lite.

Write it in an .sh file and have it run everytime you boot up ;)

@yawns I tried, there’s no way to open it…

@Snille I’ve installed xinput_calibrator and I’ve just tried to start the mirror with the command you wrote, but it still doesn’t recognise the xinput command… How did you do it?

@cowboysdude smart move!

Snille

@AlessandroRa Just install xinput sudo apt-get install xinput
Then you are good to go. :)
@cowboysdude I have to know when to start the actual xinput command, I have tried in the “startup” for LXDE, with CRON and in “openbox”:es “statup”. For some reason I cant get it to “take”. I have not made a .sh file, true. But where / when to execute it? :)

Edit the file:

sudo crontab -e
Add line to file (here a python script):

@reboot python3 /home/pi/Desktop/example.py &
