I want to use this 3.5" adafruit touchscreen, so I followed this tutorial
I ran the following commands from the link :
curl -SLs https://apt.adafruit.com/add | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-bootloader
sudo apt-get install adafruit-pitft-helper
sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 28r
When rebooting I get just a part of the touchscreen that is displaying Raspbian and I want it fullscreen.
I don't know firstly that I need a tutorial for 3.5 inch and not 2.8 inch so what I did I ran this command again with a little change because I'm using 3.5 inch:
sudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 35r
Another change that I made is to remove the adafruit duplicate in /boot/config.txt
, and now after rebooting the only thing I get is a big white screen.
Update: this what I removed

I got 2 section like described with just the difference in one line
dtoverlay=pitft28r,rotate=90,speed=32000000,fps=20
dtoverlay=pitft35r,rotate=90,speed=42000000,fps=20
So I removed the first section !!!
I have ran all commands again either for 2.8, or 3.5 but that hasn't changed anything.
Any suggestions will be appreciated :) thanks
/boot/config.txt
?adafruit-pitft-helper
, and then use the commandsudo adafruit-pitft-helper -t 35r
and it might set it up as needed (though the thing seems to be for 2.4" & 2.8")- you could use this tutorial (which is for this), but I would suggest contacting them in case the wrong software/firmware/drivers/stuff blows things up.
