so i got a 5" waveshare touch screen. i can get the raspberry software running and working but when i install the software for flightaware the screen does not work after. can someone help me in getting it going please. i been searching the web for info on piaware and touch screens with no luck… thanks
It’s nothing specific to piaware, if you can get the screen working with X (or whatever it is you want to use it with) then you can just install piaware from packages on top of that. The piaware sdcard image almost certainly doesn’t have the right drivers for the screen (I guess you could rpi-update it …)
The drivers for many LCD screens are accessible through the raspberry pi “Device Tree” configurations.
You can check out waveshare’s wiki on how to get it setup.

I don’t have a 5" waveshare LCD. Basically you should run the following commands and hope it works.
sudo apt-get -y install rpi-update
sudo rpi-update
wget waveshare.com/w/upload/9/9d/ … 020.tar.gz
tar -xvf LCD-show-151020.tar.gz
./LCD-show/LCD5-show
