IR Frame doesn't rotate

Edit the file:

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

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

@cowboysdude It worked when added to a sh script! Good call! :) Before I just tested with the xinput command directly in the autostart file, but that did not work. So now instead I just created a script called xin.sh.
nano ~/xin.sh
Then added
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
There should actually be 3 spaces between “Multi touch” and “Multi touch overlay device”. For some reason the board removes the extra spaces here.

You can actually find the “name” of the device with this command DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput list
Shows something like this:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Multi touch Multi touch overlay device id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]

Depending on what you have connected to your RPi. :)

So, after creating the xin.sh I added that to the autostart file for LXDE:
Like this:
nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
Added at the end of the file.
@/home/pi/xin.sh
Restarted and it works. :)

@Snille Oddly enough you may have accidently solved my problem too! :) I’m getting a 32" IR touch frame… this may work for me as well!! So Thank you! :)

What kind of IR touch frame do you have and where did you get it?

Thanks!

@cowboysdude I bought 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
And I can actually “zoom” the on the mirror (in the electron browser) which means that multitouch works (at least for two points). :)

That’s AWESOME … Thank you soooooooooo much… That’s the one I am ordering too!! WOW that’s just amazing how things work out…

What kind of glass did you get for it?

[Snille]

@cowboysdude Hehe, I’m still waiting for my mirror. Have not yet tested with any glass, just have it leaned against the monitor right now. :) I hope my work can supply a Pilkington MirrorView mirror, if not that’s what I’m going to buy.

[cowboysdude]

OH that’ll be very cool! I have a 7" touch clock and bathroom mirror already built. This is a 32" ‘command center’ for the house… so no mirror but as I have read I need to use tempered glass so when the frame comes in I’ll take it there and get the glass for it :)

How long did it take to get after you ordered it?

[Snille]

@cowboysdude Actually it was quite fast only 8 days! :)

[cowboysdude]

@Snille I’m happy :) Thank you!

Hi guys!

So I am ordering this one soon

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Free-Shipping-32-Infrared-Touch-screen-Frame-with-4-point-Touches-Quick-Response/922495_32752894952.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.F1YMw5

Is it the same frame model as the one you guys got? (just smaller) Can one of you confirm? Excited to add touchscreen to the mirror! Thanks!
