The mini PC made with a 3.5-inch screen is so cute, a very cool idea! You can try to draw a touch screen interface using Qt or Tkinter, add some widgets to display the current device status, that would be very cool! Thank you to Lee's video, it's great!
Firstly, I enjoy your videos. Great channel. This screen uses the ili9486 chip set. This may work with Bullseye by putting "dtoverlay=piscreen,drm" in "/boot/firmware/config.txt". If this driver works, you should be able to use either X11 or Wayland on a Raspberry Pi b4 or 5. I have ordered one from Amazon and I will reply again after I have tested. I didn't think Bullseye was officially supported for the Raspberry Pi 5.
I received my screen today and I can confirm I have it working with Wayland on both a Raspberry Pi b4 and 5. I am using an up to date Raspberry Pi OS - Bookworm install. All I needed to do to get this going was to enable the SPI interface and add "dtoverlay=piscreen,drm" then reboot and it worked. I could either use the screen on its own or use it an additional screen when there was a display plugged in to one of the HDMI ports.
Have been trying to find that adaptor to right angle the gpio pins... screen coming in any minute :) managed to find a 3B plus then a 4B 2gb for £20 each
I like this screen but when I install the driver, it completely gets rid of the audio and I have no idea to get it back, the only way I can get sound is with a bluetooth speaker. I know there are no speakers on the display but it also gets rid of the hdmi audio when plugged into a monitor.
Looks similar in size and function to the Hyperpixel 4 from Pimoroni, which appears sharper (may just be the low-res images you are presenting!) and which works easily under X11 and Wayland on RPi 5- latest Bookworm. The only difference is that yours works with a stylus, and I can't find anyone with the experience of a fine stylus working with a Hyperpixel, which is a capacitative touchscreen. Is yours resistive?
Woah! This is exactly what I've been looking for for a project I'm working on. How well does writing on that touchscreen work, with the virtual keyboard? My use case would be to simply connect the raspberry pi to a Wi-Fi and input the password for everything to work. Or would it be a better idea to somehow hammer an Android system in to my rapsberry to get a better virtual keyboard?

@@leepspvideo I saw on the setup you have a fan before you removed the screen. My bad, the fan installation wasn’t in the video but I wanted to do a similar setup. My fan was getting in the way of the pins so I couldn’t use the screen, did you use an extender cable or something?

Get header pins that are extended... this is what I have... but i am not sure how effective it is since there is very little room between all the components. As a side note my fan connects with a small jst connection and not through the header pins... there is a connection directly on the PI between the USB ports and the main chip.. but also a fan connection exists on the rear of (some) the 3.5" screens
How do you get this working for the pi 5? Mine only ever shows up with a white screen when connecting it directly to the pi 5. I installed the drivers and did the whole 'lcd35-show' dance but that didn't work either (it actually caused my pi 5 to not boot properly into raspberry pi os).

Watching you tentatively pulling it from the case made me cross my fingers for no broken pins.
i don’t mind the mosaic effect i usually enable scan lines or similar to older consoles makes them look better in my opinion

Wuthe the Battery, screen and HD lens and some 3D printing you could build an excellent camera. (possible in a Kodak Box Brownie format).

Can you make Raspberry Pi as a phone?
@@Soth0w76 some people have. With touchscreen phones being available for years it’s hard to make a case for why. Used phones are very reasonable
