I have been running octopi with touch UI on a raspberry pi 3B+ with an adafruit 3.5" tft 320x480 touch screen.
I set this up about two years ago and recently my octoprint stopped updating because of some error and my display stopped displaying the touch UI interface.
Before I start, just a warning, I am a supernoob to coding and I have just been following tutorials.
I decided to fresh install and try out octodash and went about it as follows:
- Downloaded Raspberry Pi imager
- used Erase function to wipe the SD card and prepare it for installation
- Installed Octopi stable release via the imager (setup wifi before writing)
- Logged in to Octoprint via IP address and used the setup wizard to finish installation
- Downloaded Putty and logged in to the PI using the IP address
- Used the following code to setup:
(UPDATE)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade --yes
sudo reboot
(INSTALL SCREEN DRIVER)
cd ~
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git python3-pip
sudo pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-python-shell click
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Raspberry-P ... cripts.git
cd Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts
sudo python3 adafruit-pitft.py --display=35r --rotation=270 --install-type=fbcp
(INSTALL OCTODASH)
bash
