Configuring PiTFT 2.8' Capacitive Display

Hardware
1

Hi! I have not been here for a long time. I have been busy, but now that I have had a while I have fixed the problem of the touch screen. Straight to the point:

MY HARDWARE:
• Raspberry Pi 3
• PiTFT PLUS 2.8 Capacitive

PROBLEM:
• Rotated touch screen relative to LCD 90 degrees

SOLUTION:

  1. In the web config interface:
    Go to HARDWARE > DISPLAY and ensure “PiTFT 2.8 Capacitive” is selected

  2. Access through SSH and edit “/boot/config.txt”. Add the following line to the end of file:
    dtoverlay=pitft28-capacitive:touch-swapxy=1,touch-invx=1

  3. Reboot

I hope it helps someone.
Regards, Jordi.

you can do this in the webconf and don’t need ssh access.
