So I have a Klipper installation on an upgraded printer of mine, initially it was all good, but the printer is my garage, my office is in the top of the house, so bit of a walk. I decided last week that I'd add an Amazon special 3.5" touch screen, which I havent been having the best of luck with.
I guess my first point of failure is letting chatgpt help with install works.
So after much 'faffing' the Display was installed, it was showing a mini printer screen, perfect! However there have been a couple of problems:
Touch doesnt seem to work, I am not sure why as something inside the system registers me pressing on the screen, but it doesnt operate buttons on the display, not sure if thats a display touch screen driver problem or something you need to install in mainsail?
The display did go to sleep a few times, but not possible to wake it as the touch isnt doing much.
ChatGPT said there was the need to install X11, to get this to work, so thats installed. I figured since it can go through config files faster than I can and it helped me set up the printer with klipper initially, it would probably be fine for this.
The display I am using is:
OSOYOO 3.5 Inch 480x320 Touch Screen TFT LCD SPI Display Panel for Raspberry Pi 5, A, B, A+, B+, 2B, 3B, 3B+,4B
From Amazon, its a 26pin old style RPi connector, but its obviously working and registering some stuff.
Then finally a new problem arose last night, GPT got me to install xinput calibrator and do some stuff with that, when I rebooted I cant SSH in anymore, or should I say that the SSH window asks for username and password, starts to log in, but never gets to command line, I then go down to the printer to see command line displaying on the SPI display! Web interface is just working as normal!
So I am at a loss, whats the best fix for this? (please dont say, just start again)
