Victron venus - display on raspberry pi
Raw
vicron_display.md

Get the touchscreen working:

using the keyboard connected to the pi, issue the following commands:

opkg update opkg install qt4-embedded-plugin-mousedriver-tslib opkg install ts_calibrate opkg install ts_test

Now calibrate the touchscreen ts_calibrate

Disable headless mode: mv /etc/venus/headless /etc/venus/headless.off

Your touchscreen looks like mine, with an 800x600 resolution so switch the resolution: echo 'framebuffer_width=800' > /u-boot/config.txt echo 'framebuffer_heighe=600' /u-boot/config.txt

now reboot the pi. You notice the display will now appear just like a Colour Control GX, or indeed a cerbo GZ with the expensive display. I would then google ssh access from the lan so you can fix stuff if it breaks, or stuff needs installing or updating, so you don't waste a usb port with the keyboard. I believe there is something that needs to be done to the start_gui.sh file to make it all work but I cannot find where I wrote it down :(
