Thanks!

Are you referring to when the screen goes black and then you can't wake it back up?
There is a fork build of Octoprint-TFT that disables the screen sleeping and fixes this.

I am having some small issues though. The screen flashes back to the console every few seconds which is odd. The other issue is that even setting the resolution correctly, it does not occupy the whole screen. Would you know what is going on with that?

Did you ever resolve your issue? My install is doing the same thing. Octoprint works fine but my display switches between Octoscreen and the console every few seconds.

Do hoy solve it? I have the same problem.

 

Thnks

Have you tried the following?

 

Basic Configuration

The basic configuration is handled via environment variables, if you are using the .deb package you can configure it at /etc/octoprint-tft-environment.

OCTOPRINT_TFT_RESOLUTION - Resolution of the application, should be configured to the resolution of your screen, for example 800x480. By default 480x320.

Thanks for the reply! I apologize for my delayed response.

The screen I am using is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X99HF17/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And what I am getting is this (though when I first set it up, the buttons were displayed):
