So I bought a hyperpixel 4.0 not that long ago for a project and when I downloaded the software for it worked perfectly but now I tried to download the software again en it failed, I have tried this multiple times and it is not working at all I have almost everything can somebody please help me?
Could you be more specific, is it the software download that’s failing, or the screen after the fact? What steps are you using to install the software, what errors - if any - do you see?
so I’ve downloaded it successfully on with no errors on multiple raspberry pi’s but the screen wouldn’t be working so i think it’s the screen that’s not working but i can’t understand why
Are you able to access the Pi (via SSH or otherwise) and look at the output of dmesg and also the contents of /boot/config.txt? Are you sure you’re downloading the hyperpixel4 code and not the hyperpixel code, also?
I am able to access the pi with SSH normally and the`/boot/config.txt file is as following
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
disable_overscan=0
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

and I installed it with the one line download, the GitHub installer and by downloading the master file from GitHub putting it in the sd card in the right location and then unzipping it from the terminal
Are you sure you’ve got a HyperPixel 4, and not the previous model?
yes I did have the hyperpixel 4 but it doesn’t matter anymore i’ve already returned it I think it just stopped working,
still thanks for your help
Hi I have a similar problem,
i i outcomment the first line in the config.txt
hdmi_safe = 1 the display is working but with a wide border, anything I can change ?
and the touch function seams to be a bit of
