Hi, I added the resolution. You can give it a try. Pull the update from git and recompile with:

cd sdrberry
git pull
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install

Make sure to set the resolution in sdrbery_config.cfg to 3 (see the wiki for more details)

[screen]
resolution = "2"

73,
Paul

Hello Paul
Ok received, just one question:
I don't have a sdrberry_config.cfg file but two sdrberry_settings.cfg one in my personal folder and the other in pi and they are pretty much identical.
In which one must be modified.

You're right it is sdrberry_settings.cfg. You need to change the sdrberry_settings.cfg in the startup directory mostly that is /home/pi. If you have used sdrberry before better to copy the .cfg file from the install directory (based on the sdr you use). Or delete the file and edit after you have started sdrberry. It will create a new file.

Which SDR are you using?

Ok thanks for the info.
I use a Radioberry with SDRberry Touch2, later I will try a HackRF

Ok, please check the wiki for hackrf details

Hello Paul
Modifying the file in home /pi does not change anything here.
I had to modify the one in home/personal directory.
Here is the photo below.

For the Touch 2 version I can't see the photo either.

That is ok, the settings file is loaded in the working directory of the user. So I think you made the correct change.
What is the issue with touch 2? I don't understand

@Marc1950

see second picture
Something is wrong with the screen setting.

@paulh002
Copy link
Owner

Is that a different display?

@paulh002
Copy link
Owner

You can change the resolution to match the display resolution as described in the wiki

@Marc1950
Copy link
Author

No it's the same hardware.
I have two SD cards with each of the two versions

@Marc1950
Copy link
Author

Changing the resolution doesn't change anything.

@paulh002
Copy link
Owner

Delete or rename all the sdrberry_settings.cfg files and start sdrberry. It will create a new settings file. Edit this file with
[screen]
resolution = 2

check the logfile it should show the resolution when sdrberry starts

sdrberry > log.txt

@paulh002

I think I understand now what is happening.
Did you install radioberry with Touch 2 option?

If so, than you have installed the wrong display. Touch 2 is the new raspberry pi official display.
Touch 2 is a 32 bit color display. I think your display does not support that.

You have to reinstall using the install script in a clean SD card the normal version
./install.sh RDB DSI

@Marc1950

OK yes you are right, thanks for the info, I know what Touch 2 means now. It doesn't matter I will use the other one.
I have to look now for the touch keys they do not work or very badly.

Hello Paul
SDRberry works very well except the touch screen.
I tried all the settings in the file..cfg according to the Wiki nothing works. Except randomly on position 2.
On the wiki on the line touchscreen = "raspberrypi-ts"
And me on my file touchscreen = "ft5x06"
I did not try to modify.

I added some print statments to the touch interface in the build branch.
To check the touch interface , you can do the following:

1 set touch_swap_xy = "0" in sdrberry_settings.cfg
2 build and install the build branch:

cd sdrberry
git pull
git switch build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
cd ~
sdrberry

Check the output of sdrberry log, and see what coordinate the left, top of the touch screen gives

I followed your instructions but unfortunately I did not find any log file concerning sdrberry.
At the end of the command script the Rapsberry reboots.
And in the console I have this

Hello Paul
I'm sorry I don't understand the procedure to follow, you should give me more details.
However, by dint of trying a file it is created in my personal directory.
maybe it is enough for you. here in attachment

log.txt

@paulh002

Ok, this is the correct file
The touch interface is selected

The framebuffer device was mapped to memory successfully.
Input device name: "ILITEK ILITEK-TOUCH"
Touch device name: "ILITEK ILITEK-TOUCH"

Did you check the touch interface is working and did you need to rotate the touch interface when you install Raspi OS?
So if you do a normal installation of the rapberry pi, and you get the standard desktop. Is everything working normal?

@Marc1950
Copy link
Author

No I don't need to rotate the screen when I install the Raspi OS.
When I switch back to desktop mode the touchscreen also works fine.

@paulh002
Copy link
Owner

So in sdrberry_settings.cfg, you only set the resolution. No screen rotation?

@paulh002
Copy link
Owner

Can you share the output of this command?

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

@Marc1950
Copy link
Author

In home/pi/sdrberry_settings.cfg it's already at 0
[screen]
resolution = 0
rotation = 0
And in home/personal folder/sdrberry_settings.cfg there is only:
[screen]
resolution = "2"

Can we try again to use the build version?

cd sdrberry
git pull
git switch build
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
cd /home/personal folder/
sdrberry > log.txt

Then touch the screen, left upper corner.
And check / send the log.txt file

@paulh002

Other option is to check the touch screen with evtest

sudo apt install -y evtest
sudo evtest

Select the touch screen number, and touch the screen
Please share the output

Hello Paul
To answer your question I start SdrBerry in console mode
and the command "sudo /usr/local/bin/sdrberry >/dev/null 2>&1" when the problem is solved I will try the automatic mode.
You will find the log file attached.

It looks like x and y coordinates of the touch interface are swapped. The y coordinate is clipping at 599.
Can you set in sdrberry_settings.cfg the touch_swap_xy = 1 ?

[input]
touch_swap_xy = 1

and send the log.txt again?

@Marc1950

here is

@paulh002

The x and y coordinates are now within the correct range. Question now is if the zero point (0,0) is in the right corner.
Can you touch only the left upper conner? And check the output or send it?

Ok, the x and y is also mirrored.
I added an extra translation to the touch interface.
Can you get the latest build version?
And set touch_swap = 4

[input]
touch_swap_xy = 4

cd sdrberry
git pull
git switch build
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
cd /home/personal folder/

I updated sdrberry to check if an instance is already running. All changes are now available with normal installation. Best to reinstall. Or do a pull and rebuild.

@Marc1950

I chose the reinstallation but unfortunately stopped at the beginning.
