3.5 Inch LCD Touch Screen Monitor for Raspberry Pi
Introduction
This monitor is specially designed for Raspberry Pi. You're recommended to download and install the image we provide. It is written based on the Raspbian Jessie 2016-5-27 version and we've pre-installed the driver and pre-set the calibration program. So you can just burn it on your card for use. If you want to change the calibration, you can just find the program and alter it.
Download the image at the bottom of the page, unzip the package downloaded and you'll see a .img file. Burn it to your TF card by win32imager.
Next, connect the monitor to the Raspberry Pi, and the HDMI board. plug in the TF card with the image file burnt. Connect the power and you can start the use.
Or, you may install the driver based on the instructions we provide in the package.
If you have any problem, please feel free to contact us, by email to service@sunfounder.com or posts on our FORUM. We'll reply you ASAP. Thanks for support!
Note: 如果你是在一个HDMI显示屏上做下面的操作，建议你先将3.5inch显示屏插入到树莓派中。等到Driver完成，自动重启后，你就会看到3.5inch显示屏显示树莓派桌面，但是你的HDMI显示屏就会处于CLI界面（command line interface）
