How to DIY the six button

  • Log in Raspberry by ssh and install related python and software
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
$sudo apt-get install python-pip
$sudo pip install rpi.gpio
$sudo pip install python-uinput
  • Register the uinput module (You can add it to/etc/modules file, it’ll be registered automatically after powering)
$sudo modprobe uinput
  • Download this sample (File:Python-keys.zip) and unzip it, and copy into raspberry. (NOTE: it's only a demo code, you can study it then develop your application.)
  • Run the procedure of imitated keyboard or rocker, press the button and check it;
$sudo python rpi-2.2TFT-kbrd.py
or
$sudo python rpi-2.2TFT-jstk.py
or
$sudo python rpi-2.2TFT-mouse.py

Attention: uinput means uinput.KEY_XX (XX means Button. Take A for example, that is uinput.KEY_A)

is there a way to turn off the display or make it display different images than the HDMI outputs?

Thank you for this great guide. I managed to make the display work, but I'm still trying to get the buttons to work. After all the installation procedures, when I try to run any of the Python scripts like (rpi-2.2TFT-kbrd.py, for example), I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/Downloads/Python-keys/rpi-2.2TFT-jstk.py", line 26, in <module> import RPi.GPIO as GPIO RuntimeError: This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

What is going on?

Trying this with a Rpi4 but its not working, has there been some changes to the OS that require a different setup? Also any news on this case being modded for the Rpi4?

Q1: Is display brightness PWM controllable, what GPIO pin?

Q2: Is it possible to use this display with Python programs fully separate (on device "/dev/fb1") without blocking desktop screen on HDMI-output?
