Tontec 2.8'' LCD doesn't work - Raspberry Pi Forums

hello , day!

i've read other threads screen, other 1 2.4'' screen. have mzt280-pi-ext model of 2014.3.18
i've installed original packages provided amazon screen not seem refresh anything, not cursor moves nor desktop icons appear. cpu consuption goes 100% usage time, if it's in idle, wouldn't of issue if screen worked ok, doesn't.
i've tried other scripts of avantgardedreams , guy on github called powenko or that, neither job me. either half screen kind of working , other half black, or whole screen in plain white.

can't install code code provided galen67 or because instructions doesn't seem 100% right , i'm not wtih linux systems, have rpi learning process

appreciated, don't know if give screen , buy other easier work or what. thank you.

hi,
worth persevering screen. don't have screen, have 2.4" screen. however, best you.

recommend continuing galen67's code. looked reasonably robust , shouldn't push cpu limit. these screens compromise, may useful depending on needs.

post in other thread, appear instructions not correct. problem .

code: select all

sudo cp mzt280-pi-ext /opt/

trying copy whole directory, rather file. won't work (sudo cp -r mzt280-pi-ext /opt/ work). however, might move contents /opt/ rather copying it.

try following:-

code: select all

sudo tar xvfj mzt280.startup.tar.bz2 sudo mv mzt280-pi-ext /opt/ cd /opt/mzt280-pi-ext sudo ln -s lcdstart /etc/init.d/lcdstart cd /etc/init.d sudo update-rc.d lcdstart defaults sudo ./lcdstart

let know how go. if doesn't work need know went wrong. if there error messages post them here!
