Important note - the Portsdown transmitter has been designed to "work out of the box". Most things can be set-up from the touchscreen. A few more advanced functions require you to connect to your Portsdown over a network from a PC.

Note that if you have a 7 inch Touchscreen, you should start at "Set-up using a PC"

  • Do not connect a mouse, keyboard or monitor to the Raspberry Pi
  • Do not load any device drivers including the Waveshare screen drivers
  • Do not tinker with Linux commands

If you do, we don't have time to support you and will just advise you to reformat your SD card and start again!

Set Up through the 3.5 inch Touchscreen

Once you have a RPi and an SD card with the Portsdown firmware installed - either from the BATC shop or by following the instructions in this section of the user guide connect the Waveshare 3.5 inch touchscreen (being careful to align the pins correctly)
