Working with PC
This product supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 OS.
- 1. Connect the TOUCH interface of LCD to the USB interface of PC. Wait for a while, the windows will automatically recognize the touch function.
- 2. If you use HDMI, you need to connect the HDMI interface of LCD to the HDMI port of PC. About 10s later, you can see the LCD display properly. If you need the audio, you can insert a 3.5mm earphones to HP ports, or connect to the related speaker module through the speaker interface (such as 8 ohms 5-watt speaker).
- 3. If you use VGA, you need to connect the VGA interface of LCD to PC's VGA ports by Mini HDMI to VGA Cable.About 10s later, you can see the LCD display properly.
Note:
- 1) When the computer is connected to several different displays at the same time, only this LCD can be used to control the cursor on the main display, so we recommended to set this LCD as the main display.
- 2) Some of PC cannot support HDMI screen Hot Plug. In this case, restart the PC can solve.
- 3) Sometimes LCD will flicker because of undersupplying from USB cable of PC. You need to connect an external power supply (5V/2A) to DC port.
- 4) HP audio output only works while using HDMI communication.
- 5) Mini HDMI to VGA Cable is necessary and need to be purchased separately if you use VGA communication.
Working with Horizon Sunrise X3 Pi
Support Ubuntu20.04 system.
Please download the ubuntu20.04 image from here, and then program the system according to the user manual.
- How to use:
- 1) Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB connector of the X3 Pi.
- 2) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI interface of the X3 Pi.
- 3) Provide 5V supply voltage for X3 Pi.
Note:
- If you connect the LCD after booting X3 Pi, and there is no image on the LCD, you need to reboot the X3 Pi.
Working with Raspberry Pi
This LCD can support Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali / Retropie systems.
Please download the latest version of the image on the Raspberry Pi official website.
1) Download the compressed file to the PC, and unzip it to get the .img file.
2) Connect the TF card to the PC, and use SDFormatter software to format the TF card.
3) Open the Win32DiskImager software, select the system image downloaded in step 1, and click 'Write' to write the system image.
4) After the image has finished writing, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, add the following code at the end of config.txt, then save and quit the TF card safely.
hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0
You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.
5) Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi.
6) Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB interface of the Raspberry Pi.
7) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI interface of the Raspberry Pi, power on the Raspberry Pi, and wait for a few seconds until the LCD displays normally.
Key Introduction
- Power: Open or Close the LCD.
- Menu: Open OSD menu (It can also work as OK after entering the menu).
- Up/Left: Direction button.
- Down/Right: Direction button.
- Exit: it can also work as Return after entering th.e menu.
You can use the "Power" button to close the LCD to reduce consumption if it is idle for a long time.
Open the OSD menu by pressing the button Menu, use the "OK button" and "Direction button" to change the configuration, and then use the "Return button" to exit.
Working with Jetson Nano
- No additional software configuration is required for use with the Jetson Nano.
- 1) Connect the TOUCH port of the LCD to the USB port of the Jetson Nano.
- 2) Connect the HDMI port of the LCD to the HDMI port of Jetson Nano, and wait about 5 seconds to see the LCD normally. If audio output is required, you can connect 3.5mm headphones through the HP audio output port.
- Note:
- 1)The LCD may flicker due to insufficient power supply from the USB port of Jetson Nano, generally, it can be used normally after accessing the external 5V/2A power supply through the DC port.
- 2)When using the HP audio interface, you may need to set the sound output settings in the system.
