Pi 2 + PiTFT Plus 2.8" (ID:2423) black display

Post by RomeoFox »

Hi,

I bought an Adafruit PiTFT PLUS 2.8 (ID:2423) with capacitive touchscreen for my pi 2 and can't get it working. It stays black as if its not powered at all.

I tried:
a) Easy-Install-image and DIY Installer script from here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8 ... sy-install
b) with raspbian following this post: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=68221
c) with raspbian like this: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki

with many combinations...

Is anybody out there who has succeeded?

My DMESG after b) looks like:

Code: Select all
