osoyoo 5inch touchscreen to use for klipperscreen.

i have connected the screen to the rpi and the screen works, just not the touch part of it. so i swapped out sd cards and put a non klipper pi os in and the touch part works fine.

so i then got in contact with the manufacturer of the screen, he thinks there is a conflict with the i2c address as the touch part of the screen uses the i2c “channel”.

unfortunately i cant change it for the screen so i must somehow change it for the printer. does anyone know how to do this?

thanks in advance

note: i thought setting up klipperscreen might remedy the problem, but no. now im worse off because i need to reconnect to the network on my rpi as per the final instruction from the install

“”“if you were not using networkmanager you will need to reconnect to the network using klipperscreen or nmyui or nmcli”“”

but since the touchscreen doesnt work i cant do so and now i cant ssh into it because its not connected. it might aswell be a brick

if anyone has experienced this problem before and found a fix please get in touch. thanks

I’m not sure that I understand what you are reporting.

Just some general notes:

  • Klipper in its default configuration does not use I2C.
  • One I2C bus can serve multiple devices.
  • There is no such thing as a “Klipper pi OS.” There is MainsailOS, which is a regular Linux distribution with Klipper preinstalled.
  • Klipper can be used with pretty much any Linux. Debian-based ones are recommended unless you are well-versed in Linux.

I neither own an Osoyoo nor an Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2!

Marc’s post may help

The link provided above leads to “FEATURE”
Point 5 states: 5 finger capacitive touch (but Raspbian only support 1 finger)

IMPORTANT: Some people stated, USE THE ORIGINAL CABLE, which comes with the display. Other Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) might not work for every feature!

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/touch-display-2.html#install
Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is also a capacitive five-finger touch.

I would follow both (maybe the RPi documentation a little more) installation instructions and use the Squeekboard on-screen keyboard instead of the matchbox-keyboard, but you may use the “try and error” method here.

If your display is completly working with your RPi 4b (touch working too), then follow KlipperScreen/docs/Hardware.md at master · KlipperScreen/KlipperScreen · GitHub.

Good luck, hcet14
