LCD 3D printer - LCD not working

Hello guys,

I am trying building a LCD daylight 3d printer. I am practically a noob about raspberry pi 3 and informatics. I connected the LCD via HDMI and powered but the LCD is not working. When i turn on pi, the LCD backlight turn on but the screen is totally black. If I try to display projector calibration the screen remains black, but if click on "turn off projector" the LCD turn off. Where am i wrong?

On the setup page as "Projector communication type" I use "HDMI Power On/Off".

Thank you all

Probably nothing wrong with the nanodlp software per se, you have a problem with the LCD configuration. You need to change the /boot/config.txt file. What kind of LCD screen and HDMI controller are you using?

Re: LCD 3D printer - LCD not working

I don't have this screen (I use iPad screens, Full HD screens and 4K UHD screens) but I guess the following config.txt file will work:

hdmi_pixel_encoding=2
start_x=1
gpu_mem=128
disable_overscan= 1
#overscan_left=-16
#overscan_right=-16
#overscan_top=-16
#overscan_bottom=-16
framebuffer_width=2560
framebuffer_height=1440
max_framebuffer_width=2560
max_framebuffer_height=1440
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_cvt= 2560 1440 30 1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
config_hdmi_boost=4
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

Maybe you will need to tune it a little bit (invert the places for "2560" and "1440" stringsboth in framebuffer lines and in hdmi_cvt ...and maybe  disable_overscan=0 and put some values in overscan.... for correction).
If you put this in config.txt and reboot the rpi3 you should see the boot screen (maybe the "rainbow" screen, then the 4 raspberries and some very small text...and after a while the clear screen).
