I don’t mind it being separate, although I may link to our fork just so I know what state it’s in. For the time being I’ll continue using the existing “goodix” display driver as the default for HyperPixel users since it wont require the install of dmks and kernel headers, but this is a great alternative if people need a little more flexibility.
Works a treat in all orientations with my python-multitouch UI/touch toolkit.
Good news that it is working for you as well :)
Did you try out touchscreen-refresh-rate to limit the cpu hit?
Hi @AndyCap, thanks for fixing the portrait touchscreen issue - just what I needed!
How do I go about installing your fix please? I see from the GitHub page (https://github.com/AndrewCapon/HyperPixel4TouchScreen/tree/master/driver) that I need to install hyperpixel4-goodix-dkms_1.0_all.deb, but where do I find this?
That is a good question, Pimoroni have packaged this up so I am not sure.
I’m sure @gadgetoid will post today about where it is.
The deb file is available here: https://github.com/pimoroni/HyperPixel4TouchScreen/releases
You will still need to:
sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers dkms
Actually, just realised that when in portrait mode (screen mode 2), the left/right orientation is opposite to what it should be. Up/down works ok (this is all I tested before…).
I use these settings:
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate_2
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=800
display_rotate=2
Thanks.
Not sure how pimoroni have this setup but the way I did it was to use the dts settings as detailed here: https://github.com/AndrewCapon/HyperPixel4TouchScreen/tree/master/driver
So touchscreen-inverted-y would be set which doesn’t make much sense for your problem as you are having problems with the other axis.
@gadgetoid will be along with better info…
Thanks Andy, double checked the dts settings against yours and all looks the same. I would be interested to know if you experience the same issue in portrait mode (display mode 2 with USB ports at the bottom) please?
Further testing reveals the following issues:
Portrait, USB ports on top
X axis ok, but Y is inverted
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate_0
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=800
display_rotate=0
Landscape, USB ports on left
X and Y on the wrong axis - down = left and right = up
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate_1
framebuffer_width=800
framebuffer_height=480
display_rotate=1
Portrait, USB ports underneath
Y axis ok, X axis inverted
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate_2
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=800
display_rotate=2
Landscape, USB ports on right
X and Y on the wrong axis
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate_3
framebuffer_width=800
framebuffer_height=480
display_rotate=3
Just to confirm steps, this is a fresh install of 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch.img, with the following commands to set up Hyperpixel:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4
cd hyperpixel4
sudo ./install.sh
cd src
make
sudo cp hyperpixel4.dtbo /boot/overlays/
wget https://github.com/pimoroni/HyperPixel4TouchScreen/releases/download/v1.0/hyperpixel4-goodix-dkms_1.0_all.deb
sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers dkms
sudo dpkg -i hyperpixel4-goodix-dkms_1.0_all.deb
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
I tried going back to the original settings:
Landscape, USB ports on left
X and Y on the wrong axis - this time down = right and right = down
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate
framebuffer_width=800
framebuffer_height=480
display_rotate=1
Landscape, USB ports on right
X and Y on the wrong axis
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4
framebuffer_width=800
framebuffer_height=480
display_rotate=3
So in conclusion, installing hyperpixel4-goodix-dkms_1.0_all.deb doesn’t appear to work in any orientation. I will flash a new Stretch image and await further instructions from @gadgetoid.
Everything works fine here but I didn’t use the deb file, I built the .ko file and tested all the config/dts settings to get the right settings which I put in the readme.md file.
I’m not really sure what pimoroni have done since then, sorry.
P.S. With my original solution you need to build and copy the DTS file, for portrait mode with ports at bottom I have:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

From the src folder to build and copy:
make
sudo cp hyperpixel4.dtbo /boot/overlays/
sync
Then reboot and see if that helps?
my boot.config:
dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=800
display_rotate=2
Superb! Thank you very much Andy, I can confirm touchscreen now works with both axis in that portrait mode. :)
I’ve not had chance to test other orientations as got to dash, but this is all I need for now so thanks!
This is bizarre- I tested all of the orientations before making the PR and packing it up. I was quite proud of my little match-the-touch-orientation-to-the-screen setup. D’oh. Now I’m confused. I’ll have to add this to my TODO list for when I have some time to spare.
just got the Hyperpixel touch 4. but no luck with the touch to work correctly on RPi Jersy. I have done rebuild on dts file based on https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4. but no luck.
can anyone suggest the correct step to make it work?
just got one of this great displays for a mini dashboard project.
but i ran into the same problem… followed all steps, but have screwed up touch screen at all in portrait mode.
this is the reason i bought it… for a portrait mode touch dashboard.
this would not work until pimoroni or @gadgetoid give some more help here.
please help otherwise i would send it back, cause it does not work properly.
Hi Guys.
Maybe it is a problem with the deb file.
It definitely works if you build the driver yourself: https://github.com/AndrewCapon/HyperPixel4TouchScreen/tree/master/driver
If you can tell me exactly what bit isn’t working, display or touchscreen maybe I can help.
Andy
I also tried your driver @AndyCap along with your documentation over on github.
i have my screen in portrait with ports down.
problem is that x and y seems to be inverted or swapped… (or both?)
and because of that the courser would never react where you touch.
any help or a specific .dtbo or .dts file with instruction for /boot/config.txt would be helpfull.
here are my files:

For anything directly accessing the touch screen, I rescaled the axes eg:
if event.code == ABS_MT_POSITION_X:
value = int((event.value/480.0)*800)
self._current_touch.x = value
if event.code == ABS_MT_POSITION_Y:
value = int((event.value/800.0)*480)
self._current_touch.y = value
This is, effectively, what X does internally although I’ve no idea how it manages to accomplish this seemlessly- in fact X glossing over these swapped dimensions is what led me to approve the Goodix touch IC in the first place, which is frustrating since we wanted sane upstream drivers and… got this :(
If I recall correctly, the alternate driver fixes this, but I’ve been busy with a million-and-one other projects so I’ve not had the opportunity to look into it again. There seem to be a number of reports of various issues with HP4 and achieving various rotation settings, though, so it’s something I’ll look into.
Ok, for mine with portrait and ports at bottom:

I have increased resolution for the touchscreen set here (4800x8000) you probably want to maybe set this to (480, 800) instead.
