I found that the board heated up when using 12V. 5V allows the board to run much cooler. **Q: does this screen work with retropie and raspberry pi 2** A: I use mine with Raspberry Pi 2 and Windows 10 IOT. I'm not sure about retropie, but it has an HDMI input. **Q: Do you know what the polarity is for the power supply connector? For use with an AC adapter for example?** A: Not sure off top of my head. Normally I use a voltmeter to check these things. Properly designed circuits will have a blocking diode to prevent polarity reversal issues. Those that don't, may have smoke issues! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014* Great product. Works with my Pi B+ and the Beaglebone Black. This is what I did to get it running with the RPi (the BBB process is pretty much the same):The drivers are already there for the RPi, at least it was for the B+ (which is the one I have).I had to build the kernel to get the screen to work. I did that from an Ubuntu VM running 3.13.0-35-generic 32-bit (VMWare Player).This is what I did:Attach the controller to the RPi and check that it sees the screen, you're looking for an eGalax entry:$ lsusbBus 001 Device 005: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen$ cd ~$ mkdir src$ cd srcGet the kernel sources:$ wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/archive/rpi-3.12.y.tar.gz$ tar -zxvf rpi-3.12.y.tar.gz$ cd linux-rpi-3.12.yInstall dependencies:$ sudo apt-get install git libncurses5 libncurses5-dev qt4-dev-tools build-essentialInstall toolchain:$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihfMake sure the source objects are clean:$ make mrproperCreate a folder for the generated kernel:$ mkdir ../kernelGenereate the .config file:$ make O=../kernel/ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- bcmrpi_cutdown_defconfigConfigure the kernel:$ make O=../kernel/ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfigNavigate to Device Drivers -> Input Device Support -> Touch Screens and select it.

Exit all the way and save the file when prompted.Compile the kernel:$ make O=../kernel/ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -k -j3The -j3 option enables parallel build.

Safely eject the SD card, plug the touch controller to your RPi, boot it with the SD card, run startx, and check that you can move the cursor.Once I was in the desktop, my touch input was working but it needed to be calibrated.To calibrate, you need to install an X input calibrator and some dependencies:$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev$ cd ~$ wget http://github.com/downloads/tias/xinput_calibrator/xinput_calibrator-0.7.5.tar.gz$ tar -zxvf xinput_calibrator-0.7.5.tar.gz$ cd configure$ make$ sudo make install$ xinput_calibratorFollow the instructions on the screen. After calibration you should see something like this:Calibrating EVDEV driver for "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" id=8 current calibration values (from XInput): min_x=1938, max_x=114 and min_y=1745, max_y=341Doing dynamic recalibration: Setting new calibration data: 121, 1917, 317, 1741--> Making the calibration permanent <-- copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf'Section "InputClass" Identifier "calibration" MatchProduct "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" Option "Calibration" "121 1917 317 1741" Option "SwapAxes" "1"EndSectionFor Raspbian, you have to create the file:$ sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-input.confAdd in this file the content above, starting with Section "InputClass" line and save the file.Note: Make sure that you don't have sections like MatchProduct "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" in other files from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder (highest number files are processed last).Now touchscreen should be calibrated and after reboot it will keep the settings. Yolu can run xinput_calibration again in order to have the pointer to the desired points. You can update the numbers given by the xinput_calibration utility in the usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-input.conf file in order to have the best calibration at boot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good touchscreen for the price *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2015* This is a good touchscreen for the price. It took me a couple of days to figure it out. So here is what I have learned trying to configure this on a raspberry pi 2 using HDMI connection:1) The unit comes in pieces like the photos provide on Amazon. You will need to put together the unit following this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILBcgpWClD8 Note: you will need to find a power supply that outputs 12 VDC for the display board. I pulled mine from an old router.2) Once you have the hardware hooked up, put the lcd on HDMI mode. Then boot up your pi.3) Check if your pi sees the display and also the USB touchscreen controller by typing on the command line: lsusb This should list the Touchscreen on one of your USB for the pi 24) The touchscreen might be seen but not working yet. For me I grabbed the latest version of the kernel with the drivers (version later than 3.18.11). To update the kernel type on the command line: rpi-updateNote you pi 2 needs to have internet connection. This will download the latest kernels into your /lib/modules directory.5) Reboot your pi to refresh it to the new kernel to access the latest drivers6) Lets say the latest kernel you downloaded was 3.18.13, then after you reboot and login go to the /lib/modules/3.18.13-v7+ directory by typing on the command line: cd /lib/modules/3.18.13-v7+/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen7) In that directory you will see usbtouchscreen.ko and egalax_ts.koLoad the modules to your kernel by typing on the command line: insmod usbtouchscreen.ko insmod egalax_ts.ko8) To take out the black border on the display and make to lcd more touch friendly to the fingers, you will need to edit the config.txt file located in the /boot directory.To take out black border, change the disable_overscan=1 (this was originally 0)To lower the resolution of the display, add the following lines:hdmi_group=1hdmi_mode=2The HDMI group set to 1 allows you to set the HDMI mode where mode = 2 is the 480p . Here is the link for the mode definitions: http://elinux.org/RPiconfigReboot your pi9) You will want to calibrate your touchscreen. Follow the instructions on this link https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=202150You will need to install the libraries first in order to successfully run ./configure. If the configure was successful, then you can run make, etc.Good Luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Tech Support Responded *by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015* The product works but... While installing the components, the end came off of the cable that connects the USB board to the ribbon cable on the display. When I contacted SainSmart tech support to find out if I could purchase a new cable, they requested my order number which I supplied but never responded after that. I was left to devise my own solution to fix the cable in order to use the touch screen functionality. I would have rated this 5 stars if their tech support would have helped me. This is a real shame as I have used many of their relay products in the past. In the future I will probably look for products from other manufacturers because of the lack of adequate technical support from SainSmart.Update 10/19/2015: After posting this review, tech support contacted me again. I received a replacement cable today. Bumping this to 4 stars. It's a great product. I've gotten the touch screen working on Windows 10 but have been unsuccessful on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian). Still working on it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1849420-sainsmart-7-inch-800-480-lcd-display-touch-screen-tft](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1849420-sainsmart-7-inch-800-480-lcd-display-touch-screen-tft) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
