320x240 2.8" TFT + Resistive Touchscreen

Post by rockman55 »

Is it possible to use Motion with this screen? I have tried to use raspivid and the preview does not come up on the screen. I tried installing motion but since I could not do apt-get update, motion would not install. I am using the latest version of Adafruit's Raspbian PiTFT dated March 3, 2015. Any help would be much appreciated. My goal is to use this Pi as a security camera and be able to see the display from this screen.
Thanks,
Rockman55

probably not if Motion is designed to write directly to the HDMI display. you could try using fbcp

talks about fbcp a bit, but not specifically w/Motion
