Touch Rotating for Waveshare LCD (Modify libinput parameters )

Note:
This method only work for some Waveshare HDMI LCD. And we here take 7inch HDMI LCD (C) as example, use Rapsbian Stretch. The supports LCD are:
7inch HDMI LCD (B)
7inch HDMI LCD (C)
7inch HDMI LCD (H)
10.1inch HDMI LCD (B)
10.1inch HDMI LCD (D)
13.3inch HDMI LCD (H)
Some one said that this method also work for 5inch HDMI LCD (B).

libinput

   libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices. 
The simplified software stack for a system running X.Org is:
dot_libinput-stack-xorg.png
And on the Touchscreen page we can find the Calibration matrixs:
So we could get the matrix values for clockwise (for anticlockwise, just exchange the 90 degree and 270 degree):
[0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1] : 90 degree
[-1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 1, 0, 0, 1]: 180 degree
[0, 1, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1]: 270 degree

Display Rotation

 To rotate the display, you can just add the rotation statement to the config file.
Then reboot. The display will be rotated to 90 degree but the touch still the same.
display_rotate=1
#1: 90 degree
#2: 180 degree
#3: 270 degree

Touch Rotation


  1. Install libinput
    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
  2. create an xorg.conf.d folder
    sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
  3.  copy file 40-libinput-conf to the folder which we created
    sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
  4. Append a statement to touchscreen part of the file as below:
    sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
Note: According the rotation direction, you can use the corresponding values.
After setting, just reboot and the touch will rotate as well as the display.

    There are five fonts (font8, font12, font16, font20 and font24) provided for e-Paper. Some users just want to make their customized fonts or bigger font, but have no idea about how to do it.     This Blog,  I will tell you how the provided fonts works and how to make a new bigger font. How do the fonts  provided  works? To draw a character on dots matrix screen, it works like to draw many dots on screen and make it look like a character. Just like this: we draw every “pixel” to white （for visibility I set it Yellow）or black, and finally we get the character “T”. As you can see, we set the paint area to 9(wide) x 20 (wide). White is 0 and black is 1, then we can get a set of binary value for every raw, convert them to HEX format, we can get the value as the fonts file. Note that one HEX value stand for 8bits, if the last bits are less than 8, we could extend it. We say it is scanning from left to right and top to bottom: We take the font24 as example. The f

The hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B  1.44inch LCD HAT The software: Raspbian fbtft   Some users feedback that this LCD less of instruction and some of them like to use it as a monitor of Pi. So, this article Let's learn how to port fbtft for displaying with Raspberry Pi.   Framebuffer uses an buffer to store the data for displaying, if you want to change the display you just need to change the data on buffer.   There is an open source project on github:  https://github.com/notro/fbtft . Thanks to its contributors. With this project, Raspberry Pi could supports TFT LCD perfectly. Let's do it. Framebuffer 1. Open and edit module file to enable modules    sudo nano /etc/modules    Append two statement below to the file . The first one is to enable the SPI of Pi and the second is used to start the fbtft device.   spi-bcm2835   fbtft_device 2. Creating a new file for fbtft configuration   sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf    Add the statements to
