4 inch RPi LCD displaying MM not working
-

@aecandroid look at that /home/pi/chromium_start.sh
-
@sdetweil I did, sorry, should’ve mentioned.
This is the code:
/bin/sh unclutter & xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features. xset s off # disable screen saver xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device matchbox-window-manager & #midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080 chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk http://localhost:8080/

@aecandroid what version are you running? none of that is current…
use my installer script, it handles piw -4, odroid, jetson nano, any unix variant.
see the readme here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
it will setup to launch chrome against serveronly exactly as it appears you have done…
oh, you need raspian buster… jessie and stretch are too old now
-
@sdetweil Thanks for the help. I tried to start over from fresh. I’ve installed buster lite and completed a fresh install of MM and followed the
bash -c "$(curl -sL
… commands listed. I still am not having any luck getting MagicMirror working on the 4 inch display. Everything is fine right up until I do the Waveshare driver install and then do./LCD4-show
. Once I do that, I can see the device reboot, the HDMI no longer works and on the small LCD, I see the command prompt boot topi@raspberrypi:~ $
. From this point, I can no longer get MagicMirror to run, even if I try to run./LCD-hdmi
, MM does not start working again with HDMI. Something with the install of the Waveshare drivers is killing MM. I am genuinely at a loss. -
@aecandroid can’t be lite… needs to be the graphical version…
-
@sdetweil in the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson - Doh! I’ll have to give this a try later this evening. Is there any reason the GUI version will work and the lite won’t with the small LCD?
-
@aecandroid u MUST HAVE the gui version for electron to run, or chromium
-
@sdetweil Right, so before I get ahead of myself and balls it up again. I have just installed Raspbian Buster Full 2020-02-13 image and going through the initial setup on my Pi Zero W. Should I do the Waveshare drivers for the 4 inch LCD first and then do the MM scripts on your github? Or should I run your scripts first, configure my MM, then do the Waveshare driver?

@aecandroid i would get the hardware working first
