Hello, I'm trying and failing to use a Waveshare 2.8inch DSI screen with my Pi 3B+ to run a Voron V0
https://www.waveshare.com/2.8inch-dsi-lcd.htm
following these instructions:
https://mods.vorondesign.com/details/ig ... S0C5XY6HTw
So far I have not managed to get the screen to even power on (the LED on the back of the PCB is green and the cable is connected correctly)
I connect to the Pi via SSH and tried their automatic installattion:
"cd ~ git clone https://github.com/hartk1213/Waveshare2.8_Installation ./Waveshare2.8_Installation/install.sh"
The Pi downloaded something, extracted it, never reconnected to the Wifi and bricked itself
I then formated the SD card, reinstalled Mainsail, updated everything and tried the Manual installation, so far I can't get past Step 3.
I run "uname -m -r" and it tells me I am running 6.18.50 on a 64 bit architecture, I then try to change into that directory
cd 6.18.50/64
and it tells me that directory doesn't exist
So I can't start Step 4, I tried installing the drivers into the currently highest folder and I all I get are errors.
Any help is appreciated, neither do I understand what I am doing, nor is it working
Have some code:
