Install ada1601 tft without keyboard
Hi. I found instructions on installing the screen over Retro Pie, but it involves typing into the command line. I don't have a keyboard I can use. Is there any other way of installing the screen?

Re: Install ada1601 tft without keyboard
I managed to borrow a keyboard. I'm getting stuck on the installation, though.
I'm following the instructions here https://learn.adafruit.com/running-open ... itft-setup
I got as far as sudo install fbcp /usr/local/bin/fbcp but it brings up the message 'install: cannot create regular file '\usr\local\bin\fbcp': No such file or directory'.

The slashes in the error message go the opposite way from the ones in the command that should be entered.
Could you post the exact command you're entering and the exact error you get please?

Sorry, that's a typological error. I'm used to writing backslashes for file paths, and I put backslashes in place of forward slashes without realising.

Okay, what output do you get from the following commands:
Code: Select all
ls /usr
ls /usr/local
ls /usr/local/f*

Hmm.. no folder for the files to live in.
Do this:
and try the installation again.
Do this:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin

Re: Install ada1601 tft without keyboard
Thanks. I ran the installation command, and it didn't give me the error. In fact, I got no message at all.
I continued on with the setup. I got as far as where it asks me to add 'mode_new = "DMT-87"' and 'return' to '/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh'. There is no function called 'get_mode()'.
I decided to reboot anyway, as I didn't know what to do, and the screen still isn't working. Is the screen resistive or capacitive? I installed it as capacitive, because I didn't know which it was. I don't know if that's what the issue is.

If you want a version of RetroPie that works with the PiTFT, try the Pocket PiGrrl OS images: https://learn.adafruit.com/pocket-pigrrl/software-1
