2. Configuració del programari

For the LCD to function correctly, specific drivers must be installed on your Raspberry Pi's operating system. Waveshare provides drivers compatible with Raspbian, Ubuntu, and Kali distributions.

It is highly recommended to use the official Waveshare provided image for initial testing, as it comes pre-configured with the necessary drivers. If you are using your own Raspbian/Ubuntu/Kali image, you will need to install the drivers manually.

Refer to the quick start sheet included in your package or the official Waveshare documentation for detailed driver installation instructions. Incorrect driver installation can lead to display issues.

Instruccions de funcionament

Once the hardware is connected and software drivers are installed, the display will function as a primary or secondary display for your Raspberry Pi.

Using the Touch Function

The 3.5-inch LCD features a resistive touch screen. Use the provided touch pen or a similar stylus for optimal interaction. Avoid using sharp objects or excessive force, as this may damage the screen.
