<![CDATA[IR Frame doesn't rotate]]>Hi guys, I tried to rotate my Magic mirror vertically today. The display did that, but now the touch screen is not calibrated anymore, it looks like it has not rotated. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!

I am a little new to this, are you able to give me some step by step directions to help rotate my IR touch frame?

Appreciate any help! Thanks :)

But one should be enough.

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!

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?

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 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?

So Thank you! :)

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

Thanks!

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. :)

Edit the file:

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

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

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? :)

@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!

@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 ;)

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

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

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:

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. :)
