5 inch display for Portsdown4
Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:33 pm
Hi all,
Further to the discussions on the nets with regard to 5 inch displays for the Portsdown4.
I have the following unit, a TFT50 from one of the usual Chinese suppliers running on my
PI4. see link

Initially the screen display was fine but the touchscreen mapping was inverted so the BATC wiki advice was followed with
the addition of text " display_rotate=2 " to the end of file in /boot/config.txt, fixing the problem.
After running the portsdown4 update the configuration held so all should be well for further upgrades.
Just remember to un-comment or remove the additional text should you need to revert to the 7inch display again.
