Hi i am very new to the raspberry pi and am struggling to get my LCD module to work, I am on the raspberry pi 4 with the raspberry pi os (64-bit version) I am fallowing this tutorial https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2inch_LCD_Module with the exact LCD module being used. I have installed the examples and activated SPI, from what i understand i do not need to install any more Library's because the python ones are pre-installed which i have confirmed. but when i enter the command
cd python/examples
ls -l
I get
bash: cd: python/examples: No such file or directory
and then all the files in my home.
the command after this too display the demo also does not work.
I am not sure what's wrong or what to do, been slamming my head against this for like 4 hours now though. if you could help me out that would be awesome.
You are another victim of Waveshare's poor Support.
Their Tutorial is wrong.
They have put the demo scripts in a directory named python/example. There is no trailing 's.' The screenshot in the Waveshare documentation demonstrates this.
Just try
Code:
cd python/exampleIt should look like this -
Code:
