Question 2

How do you rotate the touch input? Drivers installed screen in landscape but touch is 90 degrees off.

Accepted Answer

If you installed the drivers as detailed in this product description, you should have a folder named "LCD-show" in your home directory.
If it's the case, simply cd to the directory and rotate the display using one of the commands below:
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show 0 #rotate 0 degrees
sudo ./LCD35-show 90 #rotate 90 degrees
sudo ./LCD35-show 180 #rotate 180 degrees
sudo ./LCD35-show 270 #rotate 270 degrees

This will rotate the display and reboot the Pi.

Question 3

Is there a tutorial on instalation?  I tried an raspbian, kali and noobs image and all i get is a white screen

Accepted Answer

I would advise starting with the directions listed on the Amazon page for this display, if that fails you can also check their GitHub page.

Driver installation:

Step 1: install the Raspbian official image file: 
1. Download the latest Raspbian image file from official 
2. Use SDFormatter to format Micro SD card 
3.Use Win32DiskImager to burn the official image to Micro SD Card

Step 2: Connect the screen with Raspberry Pi

Step 3: Install the Driver to Raspberry Pi 
1.Prepare keyboard and mouse for Pi , connect internet. 
2.Execute the following commands 
sudo rm -rf LCD-show 
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git 
chmod -R 755 LCD-show 
cd LCD-show/ 
Sudo ./MHS35-show

If you have difficult in installing the driver, or if you still can’t use the display properly after installing the driver, please try our pre-install driver image for testing.

Question 4

Does this work on Ubuntu Mate or just Ubuntu?

Accepted Answer

UPDATE: I've installed in on Ubuntu Mate successfully. I ran the following commands:
Install the Driver to Raspberry Pi 
1.Prepare keyboard and mouse for Pi , connect internet. 
2.Execute the following commands 
sudo rm -rf LCD-show 
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git 
chmod -R 755 LCD-show 
cd LCD-show/ 
Sudo ./MHS35-show
But it didn't work. I rebooted and cd instal LCD-show again and ran the last command.
Sudo ./MHS35-show
It compiled and rebooted on it's own. I was worried because it took a little while but then it finally prompted for log in on the 3.5 screen. The external
monitor stopped functioning but touch works.

It seems very warm to the touch (backside of the pi) so I hope that it's not overheating. I installed all the heatsinks. May have to add a fan at some point. Overall it was much easier to install than the Kuman screen. I never got the touch to work even though the display itself showed the desktop...touch never worked.
