Official Raspberry Pi touch screen

Hi

I am using latest Volumio with Rpi 3 and official raspberry pi touch screen and can see Linux shell but not web UI for Volumio.
Is there a guide on what needs to be done in order to enable web UI on a touch screen?

Thanks in advance

Volumio is a headless player which you can access using a webbrowser.

If you want the same Pi to also be the client, than you have to install a browser like Chrome/Firefox, set the default page to the Volumio webUI and configure your boot process to automatically start the browser at boot time.

We’re going to make a plugin for that…

When will the plugin be available?

I really don’t know… Probably 2 months…

Oh I see. In a meantime I will try one of the solutions from the forum.

Thank you.

Yes, and if you can put together a script to automatically install everything, please let me know and we’ll package it into a plugin

@michelangelo I am not familiar with Linux so won’t be able to script anything sorry.
I will just simple follow what others already tried and copy / paste code.

Hey,

Im searching for an Option to turn off the backlight, when turn off volumio. And a quicklier Start to WEBUI. can someone help me?

Sorry for my englisch. Im from germany.

My Hardware:

Raspberry Pi 3 B
Official 7" Touch Screen
PiFi DAC+ V2.0
4GB Class10 microSD Card

How can I rotate the touchscreen in Volumio2? My display is mounted upside down in its frame. There is no settings abillity in the pluggin section…

Thanks in advance!

MicroSD in PC -> open “config.txt” -> add a New line with “lcd_rotate=2”->save->Et Voila :wink:

Hi,

installing Touch Screen Plugin stops at 70% where debconf has troubles with the terminal and switches to dump mode. It expects a user choice of a keyboard layout. Has anyone got a solution for this?


debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Configuring keyboard-configuration

Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine.

@Michelangelo:

Hello,
I’m new to volumio - well, to be honest, I haven’t set it up yet because first of all I was looking for a way to control my DIY-sleeping-room-media-center (Pi3, Volumio2, Hifiberry AMP*+ and the touch screen) using a touchscreen. So, searching the web for solutions I stumbled upon your news: volumio.org/raspberry-pi-displa … ic-player/
and was already jumping in my bed. I ordered the touch screen right then, but since I’ve read something on the Hifiberry Website about GPIOs I found out that the AMP+ needs the SDA and SCL GPIOs. The display needs them, too.
(So, I have the display already running on my “old” Pi2 with Openelec as a digital video recorder only without those GPIOs conneted - and it works for what it is supposed to do. But this is another usage, I know.).

As you already noticed I’m relatively new to the whole Pi-surrounding universe and have to make my steps. But I’m just hot on Pi-related DIY projects, have some ideas what to do next (some retro gaming machine, probably) and I’m willing to learn :stuck_out_tongue:

Could you please please help me achieve my goal?

Thank you very much,

all the best,
Holger

I have the same issue. Any idea for a solution please ?
Thank you !!!

Yes … i had the same error …

  1. unplug the keyboard
  2. reboot
  3. install the plugin again (with unplugged keyboard)

then it works … for me.

thanks for your help. But i have no keyboard plugged.

Hi all,
I followed instructions given there : volumio.org/raspberry-pi-displa … ic-player/
but i am still stuck at 70% with the keyboard configuration. But I have no keyboard !!!
Could someone help me configuring the touchscreen please ?
Thank you

I have exactly the same problem. Any solution?

Finally I could install it, works very well, congratulations.

I recommend unplugging any device usb or wireless keyboard.

Best
