Waveshare 10.1inch HDMI Touchscreen

Hi All,

I'm working on building a QLC+ based lighting desk for my own use, and picked up one of these screens to work with:

I got mine on http://Aliexpress.com for about US$88. It's 1024x600, capacitive touch over USB, quite good viewing angle, and a decent size to work with. (I run QLC+ on an old Dell Mini 9 netbook at the moment, so this is actually a slightly larger screen...)

Anyway, I spent some considerable time trying to get it to act like a touchscreen, before finding this post from Massimo:

This screen reports as a mouse on /dev/input/event0, like the Adafruit 5", so I edited the QLCPLUS_OPTS line in /etc/init.d/qlcplus , removing "--overscan" and adding "-plugin evdevmouse:abs" then added after the QLCPLUS_OPTS line:

Code: Select all

export QT_QPA_EGLFS_HIDECURSOR=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_DISABLE_INPUT=1

result: perfectly working screen! However, I want to use a keyboard as well, so added "-plugin evdevkeyboard" to the QLCPLUS_OPTS line.

Back to the project for me - now that the screen is working, I need to finish building my custom fader wing...
