PITFT 2097 ON RPI 2 ISSUES

Post by Angelo97ITA »

Hi all guys, some days ago i received my order:
-RPI 2
-PITFT 3.5" (2097)
-WiFi Antenna USB
-Power Bank 2200mAh
-Acrylic case
Let me tell you what is my project, i want to make a portable kali linux or maybe backtrack RPI 2 system. To wear like a watch in my left arm :D
All things works fine and perfect, but my PITFT when connected to GPIO ports and powered up, the screen is white stuck.
Is the 2097 PITFT only for RPI and not for RPI 2? Can someone tell me how to properly connect it?
Many thanks guys, and good day!

Hello I also purchased a Pi2 with the 2097 and believe I'm having the same issue i tried the easy image install then the semi easy with some command line interface with my own image and then i tried the detail install and encountering the same problem.

In the website they say that is fully compatible with raspberry pi 2... but doesn't seems for me...

yeah when i was looking into the screens i chose the 3.5 and saw there were two types this one and the one that is meant for the b+ and Pi2, Pi2 was sold out and not wanting a smaller or bigger screen went to look at this one saw it was compatible and went for it I've been reading some other posts I'll try to generate some links in a little bit what I'm thinking of doing is running the other version of updates that work with no touch screen if you put Pi2 white into the search box you get a slew of post I read almost all of them some helpful things in there not sure how applicable they are now but look into it maybe a step in the right direction.

Ok, but i payed for a screen "Fully RPI 2 working" that when i connect in my RPI 2 is totally white and no signal? I tryed all OS'es and kernel patch for PITFT but always white stuck screen...
Anyone knows the right GPIO connectors to connect PITFT 2097 to RPI 2 and how to make it work with full touch support?

The Kali Linux kernel doesn't contain drivers necessary to make the PiTFT work.

Try using one of the Easy Install OS images from the display's tutorial and let's make sure the hardware is working properly:
