Snake Eyes and 1.44x1.44 TFT Display Problem

Post by supercharlie »

I have purchased 2 1.44 TFT screens trying to use them as eyes on a project. I have also purchased the bonnet and wires to connect them.

I have setup and installed both the hardware and software per the instruction page, I get lights on both TFT screens, but the snakeeyes software only displays on the HDMI screen while the TFT remain lit but blank. Also I can not find a way out of the snakeyes software now after boot. I have tried multiple key-command combinations.

1. How to redirect video from HDMI to TFT Screen
2. How to Break out of Snakeyes software

Thanks,
Charlie

When you ran the install script:

what did you select for the output display option?

I selected TFT.
I will be reloading the OS and giving all the software another go.
It feels like maybe something didnt go quite right.
I will reply with success or fail.

Thank you for your reply

I also am having this problem. I selected option 2 (TFT) for my displays but the eyes are staring at me from my HDMI monitor. Is there any other solution for this problem? Thank you.
