Review on Longruner 5 Inch TFT LCD Display HDMI Module 800x480 with Case for Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B, RPI 1 B+/A, BB Black, PC - Compatible with Various Systems by David Pack

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This is the fourth screen where I couldn't get TouchUI to work properly.

Bought for my Ender 3 3D printer to use with a Raspberry Pi with Octoprint and Touch UI. The drivers absolutely refused to install unless the desktop environment was present. This consumes CPU and RAM that don't need to be used. Then the touch UI still refused to load. Loading the touchscreen drivers also completely disabled my onboard bluetooth, causing my bluetooth keyboard to stop working. I ended up dropping the touch drivers and running the octo print interface through the chrome web browser, mouse and small keyboard. I'm tempted to ditch the small screen altogether and just mount a small monitor next to a printer that connects directly to the Raspberry Pi.

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled
