Tested LCD Screens

These are the LCD Screens I have tested or have been tested by a reliable source. Testing has been completed using OctoPi image, and raspbian. All should work with OctoPrint.

I have personally tested OctoDash, OctoScreen, OctoBTT, and TouchUI with these original 4 screens.

Commands tested

Testing dimming

DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force standby
DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force on

Testing brightness control

Check current brightness level

cat /sys/devices/platform/rpi_backlight/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness

Set 50% brightness level

echo 128 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/rpi_backlight/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness

Set 100% brightness level

echo 255 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/rpi_backlight/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness

DSI Screens

  3. OSOYOO DSI 7" Screen
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z685PM6/
    3.1 DSI cable is 180 flipped (I.E. both pin sides are on the same side of the cable.) This will make it hard to use a standard DSI cable w/o purchasing an adapter like the one I used.

    3.2 There is also DSI to HDMI kit that might work the same.

    NOTE: The DSI cable is different from a standard cable as contacts are on the same side of the ribbon. An extension adapter is required to use a longer cable.

Hi, I know this is an old one, but could you tell me how where you able to run the waveshare 4.3 with octodash? There is no driver available and the touchscreen is not working with octodash and could never figure it out. Thanks!

No driver needed. It should just work.

Ok thanks, my screen is probably defective then. I have the DSI waveshare 4.3. Is it the same than yours? Thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it 👍
