Changing Raspberry Pi LCD Display Orientation

Introduction

In this lesson we are going to learn how to change the display orientation of a Raspberry Pi LCD screen. Note that the following way will only work if you are using waveshare display driver.

Interfacing and Driver Installation

Follow these steps to set the orientation,

• Open a terminal window, either you can directly open from your raspberry pi or you can use ssh.
• Type cd lcd-show to enter inside the downloaded driver folder, which we have done in the previous lesson.
• Now type the below-provided code for whichever the orientation you need,

For 2.8inch RPi LCD (A)

sudo ./LCD28-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 3.2inch RPi LCD (B)

sudo ./LCD32-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 3.5inch RPi LCD (A)

sudo ./LCD35-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 3.5inch RPi LCD (B)

sudo ./LCD35-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 35inch RPi LCD (B) V2

sudo ./LCD32B-show-V2 X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 3.5inch RPi LCD (C)

sudo ./LCD35-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270

For 4inch RPi LCD (A)

sudo ./LCD4-show X

• X should be 0, 90, 180 or 270
