Touch is not working

[ea1diw]

Hi, I have a 7-inch monitor connected to my computer that works fine. I bought it on AliExpress, but the touch screen isn't working. The cursor doesn't even appear on the screen. Any ideas? It works with an external mouse. The touch screen is detected as a USB device when I list the available devices. I'm using Raspbian Bookworm. Thanks

These AliExpress displays are always a bit of a pain. The touchscreen is not recognized directly because it uses usb. But in sdrberry_config.cfg you can set the device name of the touchscreen. But you first need to identify the name. Than add it to the config. Right now i dont have access to my computer there are some tricks to find it. One of them is the log output of sdrberry it will query every input device at the start and list the name. If you can share the log i can have a look maybe it is there

Hi, how do I download the registration?

[paulh002]

I dont have my tools available so I cannot help with that. But I can check the log for you

Ok

Hi again, I've been testing and I can't get it to work. Any ideas? I've entered the USB device ID of the touchscreen in the configuration files, but there are no changes. Maybe I'm not doing it right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Please share the output of sdrberry when you start it. Start sdrberry from a terminal and capture the log. It should show the driver information

What is the name of the record and where is it located?

Hello again, it seems very easy, but it isn't. I don't like to bother you, I read the manual, but it says what to do, not how to do it. "When you start sdrberry you have to redirect the logout to a file." But how do I do that? I'm sorry, but I tried to do it myself so as not to bother you, but I don't know how. Regards.

It is a bit difficult for me to understand exactly what you are doing. I am happy to help but I need to understand the steps you execute.
Best to note the steps you when you start your pi. For example:

1. power on
2. connect with putty to the pi
3. type "sdrberry" to start
4. sdrberry gui is visible

If you follow these steps, the log is displayed on putty (or other terminal software you use)

If your steps are different please list them, or make a picture

It starts with crontab.

[paulh002]

Please remove the crontab, and start manually.
crontab -r
Will remove crontab
Then reboot and start sdrberry like:
sdrberry > sdrberry.log
This will create the log file

Thank you very much. I will try.
