Hardware connection
Working with Raspberry Pi 5
1. Use the 22PIN DSI FFC cable to connect the DSI port of the display to the 22PIN DSI1 port of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. 2. Use the 3PIN cable to connect the POWER interface of the display to the 5V, 5V and GND pins of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. (Red for 5V, black for GND) 3. Use M2.5 screws to secure the Raspberry Pi to the back panel of the display.
The installation effect is as follows:
Note: Make sure that the FFC cable is connected in correct direction and 5V power is supplied through the cable.
Working with Raspberry Pi4B/3B+/3B/3A+
1. Use the MIPI-DSI-Cable-12cm cable to connect the DSI port of the display to the DSI port of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. 2. Use the 3PIN cable to connect the POWER interface of the display to the 5V, 5V and GND pins of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. (Red for 5V, black for GND) 3. Use M2.5 screws to secure the Raspberry Pi to the back panel of the display.
The installation effect is as follows:
Note: Make sure that the FPC cable is connected in correct direction and 5V power is supplied through the cable.
Working with CM4/CM3
1. Use the 22PIN DSI FFC cable to connect the DSI port of the display to the 22PIN DSI1 port of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. 2. Use the 3PIN cable to connect the POWER interface of the display to the 5V, 5V and GND pins of the Raspberry Pi motherboard. (Red for 5V, black for GND)
The installation effect is as follows:
Note: Make sure that the FFC cable is connected in correct direction and 5V power is supplied through the cable.
Software settings
For Bookworm system
Method 1: Burn the pre-installed image (recommended)
1. Select your corresponding Raspberry Pi version image, download and unzip it as .img file
Raspberry Pi 5 Version Download: Waveshare DSI LCD - Pi5 pre-installed image
Raspberry Pi 4B/CM4/3B+/CM3 Version Download: 13.3inch DSI LCD - Pi4 pre-installed image
2. After the image burning is completed, connect the TF card to the Raspberry Pi, start the Raspberry Pi, and wait for about 30 seconds for it to be displayed and touched normally.
Method 2: Install the driver manually
- 1. Connect the TF card to the PC, download and use Raspberry Pi Imager to burn the corresponding system image.
- 2. After the image burning is completed, connect the TF card to the Raspberry Pi, start the Raspberry Pi, and log in to the terminal of the Raspberry Pi (you can connect the Raspberry Pi to the HDMI display or use ssh to log in remotely).
#Step 1: Download and enter the Waveshare-DSI-LCD driver folder git clone https://github.com/waveshare/Waveshare-DSI-LCD cd Waveshare-DSI-LCD
#Step 2: Enter uname -a on the terminal to view the kernel version, and cd it to the corresponding file directory #6.6.51 then run the following command cd 6.6.51
#Step 3: Please determine the bits of the current system you are using. For a 64-bit system, proceed to the 64 directory, and for a 32-bit system, proceed to the 32 directory cd 64 #cd 32
#Step 4: Please determine what model of Raspberry Pi motherboard you are currently using #Pi5 uses the following command: sudo bash ./WS_xinchDSI_MAIN.sh 133_Pi5 I2C0 #Pi4 and Pi3 use the following command: sudo bash ./WS_xinchDSI_MAIN.sh 133_Pi4 I2C0
#Step 5: Wait for a few seconds, when the driver installation is complete and no error is displayed, restart and load the DSI driver to use it normally sudo reboot #Note: The steps above require that the Raspberry Pi can connect to the internet normally
- 3. Wait for the system to reboot, it will be able to display and touch normally.
Setting Backlight Brightness
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt #Modify the backlight brightness command of the display driver at the end of the config.txt file, and it will take effect after restarting (the default setting is 50% brightness) #Set brightness to 100%: dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Screen,SCREEN_type=13,I2C_bus=10,Backlight=255 #Set brightness to 50%: #dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Screen,SCREEN_type=13,I2C_bus=10,Backlight=128 #Set brightness to 0%: #dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Screen,SCREEN_type=13,I2C_bus=10,Backlight=0 Note: If you are using Pi4/P3, the actual recognized SCREEN_type will prevail, for example, SCREEN_type=17. #Save, exit, and reboot sudo reboot
Bookworm touch screen rotation
- 1. Open the Screen Configuration application;
- 2. Go to Screen - > DSI-1 - > Touchscreen and check 10-0014 Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen;
- 3.Click Apply, then close the current window, and reboot according to the pop-up prompts to complete the specified touch screen;
- 4.Go to Screen > DSI-1 - - > Orientation, check the direction you need to rotate, and finally click Apply to complete the display and touch synchronous rotation.
Note: Only the Bookworm system supports the above synchronization rotation method. For the Bullseye and Butser systems, manual separate settings for touch rotation are required after displaying the rotation.
lite version display rotation
sudo nano /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt #Add a command to display the rotation angle at the beginning of the cmdline.txt file, and save it to take effect after restarting #Display rotation 90 degrees video=DSI-1:1920x1080M@60,rotate=90 #Display rotation 180 degrees video=DSI-1:1920x1080M@60,rotate=180 #Display rotation 270 degrees video=DSI-1:1920x1080M@60,rotate=270
Note: If you are using Pi5/CM4, the actual recognized DSI display number will prevail, for example DSi-2.
Touch Rotation
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-waveshare-touch.rules #Set the command of touch rotation angle within the file, and it will take effect after the restart #90°: ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}=="1", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 -1 1 1 0 0" #180°: #ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}=="1", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="-1 0 1 0 -1 1" #270°: #ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN}=="1", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="0 1 0 -1 0 1" #Save, exit, and reboot sudo reboot
