@KirAsh4 Haha basically. It works in my case though, as long as the connection stays secure, since this will be inside my enclosure anyways (once I get around to making one ;)).

Hey it looks really nice! That poor mirror film though haha.

I followed this guide to do my touch panel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B22QdNHtb_8&ab_channel=TAPPlastics

Mine turned out okay afterwards https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/166/eof-s-touch-screen-magic-mirror-testing-phase

@KirAsh4 Hi! I was actually able to get this working again (with some help). I tried a bunch of different things to avoid soldering because of the plastic on the ribbon, but I got to a point to where I said “whelp, it’s already broken so might as well just go for it” and believe it or not, it works now! I had to remove some of the plastic to expose the copper wire on both sides of the split, but then after that the solder completed the circuit and it’s working fine again.

I also went ahead and electric taped the hell out of the connector where the split was before so that this doesn’t happen again. Some heat shrink wrap was also applied for an extra layer of security :p

@cyberphox Yeah this is a major snag for me. I’ve read up on some conductive ink pins that might do the trick repairing this. If it turns out that it doesn’t though… looks like I’ll be ordering a new panel :/

However, when the touch screen was working, it was working pretty good! Even better than on the demo video in my original post (which was on a windows machine).

There is some tricky calibration stuff you have to do to get it to play nice with the pi though.

@MichMich Hi! I am running npm start directly on the pi, and I get the same exact error.

But I have a major problem now… The ribbon that connects to the display has a tear in it. I assume it got twisted the wrong way. This really puts a major halt to my project unless I can somehow repair it.

Hi I am having this same issue. Did you ever get it working?

Title.

Can’t really figure out why this is the case… I simply plugged in the panel (connects via USB) and it worked without me installing any drivers or anything.

Of course, the calibration was way way off, so I used xinput_calibrator to calibrate it and it seems to work pretty well.

Just curious as to what is going on here. I installed raspbian Jessi on this pi. Maybe the drivers are included in that distro? This was the minimum install by the way.

Does anyone know why it worked plug and play?

@Rahansen Hello! One of my own modules here.

Very simple module. Hides everything on your screen so you can see your reflection with no text.

Togglable, click it to fade out, click it again to fade back in.

As usual with my modules, you will need to be able to click for it to work. No voice activation or anything like that, although I would love to implement it if we had a way to do so.
