RasPi w/ Adafruit XBMC BANNED :)

Post by trinium42 »

Well the topic says it all, I have a Raspberry pi which I've successfully used for many projects, and I just recently got the Ada fruit 2.8 lcd touchscreen and case. Problem is, after 2 days of following guides, I simply cannot get it to mirror the screen onto the touchscreen! If anyone could get me an .Img file That I could write to an SD Card )or something really basic) that would allow me to to use the lcd touchscreen as a mirror display and run XBMC (all in one) I would gladly forward them at least the equivalent of $5 to 10 us in BANNED. Or donate it in there name to any cause no (whatever I have rattling around my account. And then I could find a place to host it and share with the community.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Could you post clear pictures of your board and the connections to it?

You can see it https://www.adafruit.com/products/1601 Ive gotten the screen to go black, and the touch interface working of the instructions for the Raspi install (I have a Raspi working great with the touchscreen, mirroring the other) but for XBMC I just cant seem to get it to work. It's like the tutorials that do work for XBMC I think are outdated or just plane wrong. I understand everthing Im doing, not just parroting commands. Oha nd I do have $10 in BANNED if you can get one of the newer versions of XBMC with the screen for the pi. This is what got me the closest:https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pit ... stallation But its again its for XBMC. Im sure I could get it running on top of Raspi, but Id rather keep them seperate because I watch allot of Hi-Res Stuff and I need all the processing speed I can get.
