wave share 4 inch

tim_garcia74

I notice that wave share screens of different sizes are listed as compatible but I am having issues with my 4 inch screen. I cannot seem to get to my /boot/config.txt like it says to in the directions. it says not found when I'm in terminal. and when I try to give the system/build it says I do not have permission. I did read through other discussions but not having any luck.

thank you

I don't think we have a 4" waveshare screen in the list of compatible devices. It may work, when properly configured, but there is no guarantee. If I got it right, this is the same problem you were discussing here: #622 so I will close that other topic in order to keep it everything at one place.

You have to provide us more details about how exactly you are trying to open those files.

well keep in mind I am very new to this, basically fumbled around and changed my configtxt on my laptop just through a card reader and my 4 inch screen now displays correctly. the problem I have is when the different HATs that I wish to install supporting drivers for tell me to type in terminal the GitHub site to download supporting software I get an error on the next line telling me either not found or unknown id. I am currently trying to get my gps hat to work with this os. I think I am just know where experienced enough to get through it.

Sorry I just read the thread you closed. I am using the terminal on the pi itself. I purchased the basic OS on Emteria, I have a Pi3 b+. my plans are to install this into a 2011 dash cluster where the stock screen is and run the play store torque pro app. I wish to have GPS functional for odometer reading. I know it can be done because there is someone who sells these clusters with Emteria OS installed on them. I did email for the commercial purchase and just have them set it up but had no response. Thank you for any help

Don't use the terminal on the Pi. Plugin the sd card into your PC and edit the configuration there.
