Driver for the Pimoroni HyperPixel 4.0" Touchscreen Display

HyperPixel 4.0" Drivers

HyperPixel 4.0 is an 800x480 pixel display for the Raspberry Pi, with optional capacitive touchscreen.

Installing / Uninstalling

First, clone this GitHub repository to your Pi:

git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4

Then run the installer to install:

cd hyperpixel4
sudo ./install.sh

180 Degree Rotation

Note: You must build the latest dtoverlay file to enable rotation support:

1. Go into src
2. run make to build a new hyperpixel4.dtbo with rotation support
3. copy the overlay with sudo cp hyperpixel4.dtbo /boot/overlays/

To rotate your HyperPixel4 you must edit /boot/config.txt and change the following lines:

1. Change dtoverlay=hyperpixel4 to dtoverlay=hyperpixel4:rotate
2. Change display_rotate=3 to display_rotate=1

This will rotate both the display and the touchscreen input to match.

If you're using a non-touchscreen HyperPixel4 you need only change display_rotate.
