Working with Raspberry Pi
This model can support Raspberry Pi OS / Ubuntu / Kali and Retropie systems. When working with Raspberry Pi, the resolution must be set manually, otherwise, it will cause an abnormal display. For more detailed information, please read the following section.
1. Download the Raspbian image from Raspberry Pi website.
2. Connect the TF card to your PC and format it by SDFormatter software.
3. Write the .img file to your TF card by 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=82 hdmi_cvt 1920 1080 60 6 0 0 0
You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.
5. Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB port of Raspberry Pi.
6. Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of Raspberry Pi.
7. Save and connect the TF card to your Pi then power up.
Linux Software Dimming
- Using the DDC/CI demo, here we take the ddcutil tool as the example:
#Install ddcutil tool: sudo apt-get install ddcutil -y #Detect whether it supports DDC/CI monitors: sudo ddcutil detect #Adjust the monitor brightness, <value> needs to modified as 0-100. sudo ddcutil setvcp 10 <value>
For more ddcutil function commands, you can refer to http://www.ddcutil.com/commands/.
Working with Horizon Sunrise X3 Pi

Screen installation reference instructions
The bonding method between the LCD of the screen and the touchpad is using double-sided adhesive. In order to prevent the LCD and the touchpad from peeling off in some special situations (such as when the screen is installed at an angle), it is necessary to make structural support for the LCD when installation. A reference example you can check below.
【Note】 The assembly materials used below are not included in the shipped kit! ! This is only used as a reference for installation and materials.

Part Name:
1. Equipment case
2. Countersunk head machine screw
3. Copper pillar
4. Adhesive sponge
5. Acrylic board (thickness 5mm and above)v
6. Round head machine screw
7. HDMI LCD
Assembly instructions
1. Fix the Copper pillar ③ on the back of the Equipment case ① with countersunk screws ②, and then embed HDMI LCD ⑦ into the Equipment case ① and bond it firmly. The countersunk screw holes on the casing will be blocked by the edge of the screen. So the screws cannot be seen on the exterior side.
2. Paste the Adhesive sponge ④ with an appropriate thickness on the Acrylic board ⑤, pay attention to the position of the paste to avoid the PCB board, and finally fix it on the copper pillar ③ with the Round head machine screw ⑥. After assembly, make sure that the sponge is fully attached to the back of the LCD.
3. The opening holes on the acrylic board avoid the components on the PCB board to facilitate the connection between the interface and the device.
Note: The LCD display surface cannot be installed parallel to the ground, otherwise it will fall off under the action of gravity. In addition, when it needs to be installed at an angle, the back of the LCD screen should be kept at least less than 75 degrees from the horizontal.

60Hz
It depends on the system, if the system has hibernation, the screen will also be black. If it is the official system of Raspberry Pi, the default is about ten minutes without action to have hibernation.
The other is the TOUCH interface, which generally needs to be connected to the USB interface of the host. Power is drawn through the USB interface. The working current is about 5V 80mA.
12V 1A outer diameter 3.5 and inner diameter 1.35. If you want to use other power supplies, you need to ensure that the power supply ripple is within ±5%
You can use a 10-15V power supply and it will work fine.
Also please note: This screen supports a maximum voltage of 16V, if it exceeds 16V, it may burn out the power supply IC.
