Screen Resolution does not fit the touch screen
Hi,
I have the pro version of Repetier and am experiencing this error shown below. Can someone tell me whats wrong with the resolution and how to fix this?
Everything is super tiny and almost impossible to hit with the finger.

I am using this touchscreen (variant "7 Zoll mit Gehäuse Rahmen") 1024x600:
Repetier Pro 1.0.4
Thanks

but that requires programming skills not every one has, so I understand if that is no good resolution for you.
I will run some tests if I can set for 1024 the sizes in pt instead of pixel. At least if your display knows the dpi this should then result in bigger fonts/icons.
That should give you the real resolution you see. If it is set higher then screen physically can it gets reduced in size and looks like yours. Then you need to modify /boot/config.txt to select the correct hdmi mode with your real resolution.
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
I am using this display:
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000377832785.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.dccf4c4dZ2qP04
and used this code:
Hdmi_group = 2
Hdmi_mode = 87
Hdmi _ cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
/boot/config.txt
Log in with ssh by opening a terminal and typing pi@192.168.0.99. (use the IP Address of the PI)
Password is by default raspberry
after successfully login type Repetier-setup
The setup utility starts up.
navigate to edit system files, choose edit config.txt
in config test ad the following lines:
save the changes with ^o
and finally the most important and maybe the crucial parameter:
edit in repetier-setup -> 3 Touchscreen -> 6 Touchscreenscaling (set from 1.0 to number you want) . 2.0 means double the size. Mind there is a dot between the numbers! After that, reboot and in my case everything is perfect now!
The sizes are defined per resolution and set during css generation and can not be changed dznimacially afterwards. However you can make your own css file instead with your own icon/sidebar/text sizes. See
https://www.repetier-server.com/customizing-printer-frontend/
on how to do this. But it is programming, so nothing every one would like to do.
