Working with Raspberry Pi

Hardware Connection

Connect the Touch port to the USB interface of the Raspberry Pi.
Connect the HDMI interface to the HDMI interface of the Raspberry Pi.

Software Setting

Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali and Retropie systems are supported for Raspberry Pi.
When the LCD works on these systems of Raspberry Pi, the resolution must be set manually, otherwise, it will result in incorrect display resolution and affect the experience.

1. Please download the newest image from the Official Raspberry Pi website.
2. Download the compressed file on the PC and unzip it to get the .img file.
3. Connect the TF card to the PC and use SDFormatter to format the TF card.
4. Open Win32DiskImager, choose the image prepared in the first step, and click "Write" to program the system image.
5. After programming, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card and enter the following codes at the end of config.txt. Then, save and safely eject the TF card.

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1280 800 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=1

6. Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi, power up the Raspberry Pi, wait for a few seconds normally and then it will display normally.

Linux Software Brightness Adjustment

Using the DDC/CI program, here is an example of the ddcutil tool.

#Install ddcutil tool:
sudo apt-get install ddcutil -y
#Detection support for DDC/CI monitors:
sudo ddcutil detect
#Adjust the monitor brightness, <value> should be modified to 0-100 value
sudo ddcutil setvcp 10 <value>

For more information about ddcutil function commands, please check http://www.ddcutil.com/commands/.

One Cable Connection

Using the matching dual-plug Type-C cable, connect the monitor's DISPLAY&TOUCH connector to the master's full-featured Type-C connector. Wait for a few seconds to enter the display interface.
