pitft touch screen not working

Post by flo898 »

Hi. I have set up my raspbian using the script from adafrui.it/pitftsh. I have a picture on the screen but cannot use the touch functionality. Any ideas what the problem could be?

If I schould provide any logs pls let me know which one.

There are two PiTFT screens capacitive and resistive did you download the correct version? Which PiTFT do you have?

Sorry I don't know which version I have. In the order it says "PiTFT Mini Kit - 320x240 2.8" TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi[ID:1601]"

If you have an extra SD card or haven't add anything to the one you have you might consider downloading the pre compiled image with the drivers already installed as a test.

I have just done that, with the same result.

I assembled the TFT on my own. May it be possible that I can see an image on the screen but no touch screen support, due bad soldering joints?

Could you post clear pictures of both sides of your board showing any soldering you have done and the connections to it?
We'll take a look.
