Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

These are the 4" SPI LCD's for the Pi, and I KNOW that matherp wrote a driver for this display to use it on the MM, but I can't seem to find it now.

Perhaps someone - or matherp - can link me to the thread about these?

They are Waveshare product, "4inch RPi LCD (A)" with the standard XPT2046 touch controller chip.

My ones are "Rev2.0" if that helps.

Maybe this one matherp post

I used google with

site:www.thebackshed.com/forum XPT2046 matherp


It found others so sorry if I've picked the wrong one.  Maybe I should've tacked rpi onto the search?

@ JohnS: Thanks, but no.

@ erpb: Yes, I think this is what I am after - thanks so much.  
I could not remember the LCD part number(ILI9481).
