Інструкції з підключення

Follow these steps to connect the display to your Raspberry Pi:

Ensure your Raspberry Pi is powered off.
Locate the DSI port on your Raspberry Pi. This is typically a flat, ribbon cable connector.
Carefully open the DSI connector latch on the Raspberry Pi.
Insert the FPC cable (included) into the DSI port on the Raspberry Pi, ensuring the contact fingers are facing the latch.
Close the DSI connector latch to secure the FPC cable.
Connect the other end of the FPC cable to the DSI port on the 4.3-inch display, ensuring proper orientation and securing the latch.
Optionally, use the provided screws to mount the display to your Raspberry Pi for a stable assembly.
Power on your Raspberry Pi. The display should initialize automatically.

3. Інструкція з експлуатації

Початкове ввімкнення

After connecting the display to your Raspberry Pi and powering it on, the display should automatically detect and configure itself. For Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, Retropie, and WIN10 IoT, the display is driver-free, meaning no additional software installation is required for basic display and touch functionality.

Сенсорне керування

The display features a capacitive touch panel supporting up to 5-point multi-touch, depending on the operating system. This allows for intuitive interaction with the graphical user interface.

Керування підсвічуванням

The display supports software control of backlight brightness. Refer to the specific documentation for your operating system or Raspberry Pi distribution for instructions on adjusting backlight settings programmatically.

4. Технічне обслуговування

Очищення дисплея

To clean the display surface, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampПротріть тканину водою або розчином для чищення екранів. Уникайте використання агресивних хімікатів, абразивних матеріалів або надмірної вологи, оскільки це може пошкодити екран або внутрішні компоненти.

Транспортування та зберігання

Handle the display by its edges to avoid touching the screen surface or the delicate FPC cable. When not in use, store the display in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from physical impact and static electricity.

5. Вирішення проблем

Display Not Showing Image

Check DSI Cable Connection: Ensure the FPC cable is securely seated in both the Raspberry Pi's DSI port and the display's DSI port. The latches should be fully closed, and the contact fingers correctly oriented.
Джерело живлення: Verify that your Raspberry Pi is receiving adequate power. An insufficient power supply can sometimes lead to display issues.
Operating System Configuration: While driver-free for many systems, ensure your Raspberry Pi's operating system is up-to-date. Some older OS versions might require specific configuration files.

Touch Functionality Not Working

Recheck DSI Connection: The DSI cable carries both display and touch data. A loose connection can affect touch input.
Підтримка операційної системи: Confirm that your operating system fully supports capacitive touch input via DSI.
Калібрування: In some cases, touch screen calibration might be necessary, though typically not for driver-free setups. Refer to your OS documentation.

Intermittent Flickering

Джерело живлення: Ensure a stable and sufficient power supply for your Raspberry Pi and connected peripherals. Fluctuations can cause display instability.
Цілісність кабелю: Inspect the FPC cable for any damage or kinks.
