I keep getting "Low Voltage Warning" on raspberry pi 4, why?

Dear customer, Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns. The main reason of this warning is the use of incompatible power supply, or an issue in the power cable If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Shaynee Freenove Support Team

Is the power derived from the flat flex cable? it doesn't look like there is any usb or barrel jacks on the monitor.

On the one I bought, a 7-inch IPS display, there are two (1 positive and 1 negative) spring loaded (pogo pins) contacts on the LCD that make contact with the +5V and Ground pins on the bottom of the GPIO header when you mount the RPi onto the provided standoffs. GPIO pins 4 and 6. Those pins are still available to use on the top of the GPIO header too. Alternatively, there was a 2-pin power cable and longer ribbon cables included with the one I bought, for remote mounting the Raspberry Pi some small distance (3-4 inches) away from the LCD display.

How do I rotate the touchscreen matrix of this display for portrait mode? I have tried edev and /boot/config.txt nothing works

Dear customer, Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns. There are two kinds of display direction rotation: FKMS mode direction rotation and traditional graphics mode direction rotation. Because there are many steps, only the second method is sent. If you have any more questions, please contact us by email and we will send you a PDF file. Method 2: Traditional graphics mode By default, the Raspberry Pi 3, 2, and 1 series use traditional graphics mode. Raspberry Pi 4B can also use traditional graphics mode, just in /boot/config.txt file under the Pi 4: dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d Comment out, as shown (Traditional graphics mode is generally not recommended on Raspberry Pi 4B). In traditional graphics mode, this can be done by adding it at the end of the /boot/config.txt file: display_lcd_rotate=x（x=0,1,2,3,0x10000,0x20000） To set the display orientation, reboot is required to take effect . If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Shaynee Freenove Support Team

Can I plus this into the DSI slot on an Orange Pi 5 Plus?

Dear customer, Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns. No, it only works with Raspberry Pi. • Compatible models -> Raspberry Pi 4B / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+ / 2B / 1B+ / 1A+. (No HDMI. Not compatible with any other device.) If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Shaynee Freenove Support Team

Brilliant bit of kit

Wonderful bit of kit - works out of the box on a Raspberry Pi 5 with no fiddly drivers to install. Had it up and running in a matter of minutes. Good clear display. Very happy indeed

Dead easy to use and works a treat

Very impressed with this screen. It's easy to setup and works straight out of the box with no drivers required.It's nice and bright and is quite visible , it's in my car and i can see it in bright sunlight.You just need to be a bit careful when connecting the ribbon cable between Raspberry and Screen but it's nothing difficult.

Failed after 8 Months

It worked well for a 8 months as a Hamclock but has now failed. All I get is a load of strippy lines displayed. To save the condition of the screen I had the pi dim the display overnight. Asll good for a while but then started displaying a bunch of lines. Good while it lasts but cheap components fail eventually. Save your money!
