PiTFT for RPi 400

Post by mattsgoodman »

Hello,

I’m new to RPi and recently purchased a PiTFT capacitive touch screen and cyberdeck hat, and have not been able to get the screen working. The PiTFT lights and stays illuminated completely white when the RPI is on.

Products:
- Raspberry Pi 400
- Adafruit PiTFT Plus 320x240 2.8” TFT + - - Capacitive Touch Screen [ID:2423]
Adafruit Cyberdeck Hat for Raspberry Pi 400 [ID: 4863]

Thanks in advance for your help!

Matt

Then when I try to mirror the HDMI output with the FBCP install commands, I get the following:

python3: can't open file 'adafruit-pitft.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The ^C at the end of this line looks like something has gone wrong with the command:

Get to that point again and enter the following commands:

Code: Select all

/bin/pwd
ls
