Touch not responding even after installing your driver

[nelsonlobo]

Hi,
Im using the RPi 3, with Waveshare 1024x600 (c) rev1.1

As instructed in your read-me ive performed every steps. But the cursor on the touch screen won't move at all. Kindly help...

Thanks,
nelson

Please note that waveshare updated their touch screen to support generic HID device, which means it can use as a "mouse" on a PC. I don't know if you are this version, you can try connect the device to PC to see if you can control the mouse pointer directly.

Hi derekhe,

Im using Raspberry Pi 3. Ive managed to get the screen working. I can't get the capacitive touch working. I tried your code but nothing seems to be working with the touch.

[derekhe]

Did you try connect the screen with your PC?

[nelsonlobo]

For my PC i use a laptop... Why would i want to use another screen... When waveshare is already displaying... My display works just fine... But the touch doesn't!!!

[derekhe]

Hi, be patient. Please try attach the usb touch cable to your laptop, then if you can touch one the screen, then it should work on rpi3. If no, let me know. I may not help you because I don't have this kind of screen to test.

Apologies... If i sounded harsh... Just that im just dissapointed with Waveshare... Do i need to install the driver for the same on windows as well... Im using windows 10 x64.
Thanks.

Ive tried using the touchscreen on windows 10 x64... But again the touch won't work... Ive looked for windows drivers for the same but can't find any...

Hi,
can you try:

sudo xxd -c 25 /dev/hidraw0

and then touch the device to see if there is any output?

[nelsonlobo]

Hi Derekhe,

It works just fine like you've mentioned...
The problem is that it won't start working immediately after boot... I need to disconnect the USB then reconnect it to get it started... Any work around with that ???

I don't know, maybe the hidraw driver is not the first one when start. Could you try replace hidraw0 to hidraw1 or hidraw2 or hidraw3 for the command? If there is anyone has repsonse, then the driver is detected not as hidraw0, maybe that's the issue.

[nelsonlobo]

I have tried hidraw0 and it worked... The rest don't respond... Any way that this can be activated without me unplugging then plugging the USB from LCD ????

[derekhe]

It should be good if hidraw0 is working. But I curious why my script doesn't work.
I've updated my screen last month, so I don't have a screen to test my driver. Can anyone else have this screen to have a look?

i'm having the same problem. i plugged the usb into my laptop and windows 10 install a driver for a
HID compliant touchscreen but nothing happens.

i found the screen on hidraw3 when plugged into my rpi 3 but again nothing happened when i tried sudo xxd -c 25 /dev/hidraw3

any ideas?

EDIT

the serial number is blank... could this have something to do with my problem?

many thanks. lee

Hi, same here. Installed the driver but touch is not working.
But touch seems to respond on hidraw1.
What should I do to make it work ?

[derekhe]

Sorry guys because I upgraded my screen to latest rom version, so there is no need for any driver. The touch screen will work on any system. Please contact manufacture to get support to upgrade your rom version.
