Hello people, I hope you’re all doing well !
I’m trying to get this small 3.5 LCD inches display to work. I used this some year ago but I really can’t remember how I did it.
I’ve found a couple of threads here but not quite complete so I figured I’d ask before frying something…
I’ve found some instructions to install an “LCD-Show” driver (or something like that) but that appeared to be meant for a full xorg desktop.
I just want to display the output of a python script at the console…
So, do I need to install all of that or can I just use a “lighter” method? (i.e. framebuffer)
I’ve also found this thread which sounds to me like process for this display could be integrated with the DietPi tools, but I can’t find such thing. Maybe I’m missing something.
My display is a generic 480x320 - XTP2046, not quite matching the 320x280 waveshare2 option in dietpi-display.
