Unfortunately the only way to get the screen touch coordinates calibrated correctly is to install Raspbian to get them first before installing OctoPi. | |
Install full Raspbian w/ GUI on the Pi. | |
Skip to the 'Install Touch Screen Drivers' section below and follow the steps. | |
Close out of any windows on the GUI | |
Hide the taskbar by right-clicking on the taskbar and select "Panel Settings". Click on the "Advanced" tab, and check "Minimize panel when not in use". You should now just see the wallpaper and an icon on the desktop. | |
SSH into the Pi | |
Install xtcal: | |
sudo apt-get install libxaw7-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxaw7-dev libxft-dev | |
git clone https://github.com/KurtJacobson/xtcal | |
cd xtcal | |
make | |
Clear the default coordinates: | |
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput set-prop "stmpe-ts" 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 | |
Run xtcal: | |
DISPLAY=:0.0 ~/xtcal/xtcal -geometry 720x480 | |
Use a stylus and tap the + on the screen. | |
When finished it will output the coordinates in the SSH terminal. | |
It should look something like this: | |
-0.007882 -1.094303 1.033443 1.132679 0.078381 -0.170031 0 0 1 | |
Reboot and check if you are happy with the calibration. If not re-run xtcal until you are. |
