Click "CHOOSE OS" to choose the control system.
Click "CHOOSE SD CARD".
Click "WRITE" to start writing in the system. Please wait for a moment.
Step2
- The good use of the screen requires you to install a driver and you can do it by connecting to RPi via ssh.
- Create an empty file named "ssh" without a suffix in the directoy /boot.
- Connect the RPi & the screen as shown. Align the pin header on the RPi with that on the screen.
- Insert the SD card into the SD slot on RPi. Then plug the RPi power adapter and network cable.
- The RPi starts as soon as it's connected to the power supply. Next, you can find your RPi ip.
- Check the RPi ip via Advanced IP Scanner.
- Advanced IP Scanner download link: https://filehippo.com/download_advanced_ip_scanner/
- Got the ip, you can use putty tool to control RPi remotely via ssh remote connection.
- putty download link: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
- Download finished, putty page is as shown. You need to input RPi ip, and type in 22 in the port box. Check ssh and click open to connect with RPi.
- The terminal page appears once you click open. By default, the ID is "pi" and the password is "raspberry". Note the alphabetic case.
- Type in the following commands in order. Press "Enter" once each time you've finished one line.
- sudo rm -rf LCD-show
- git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
