@ -25,7 +25,22 @@ KlipperScreen should run on any HDMI touchscreen that you can connect to a raspb
be slightly different depending on what model you get. I am developing on a 1024x600 resolution screen. Due to this,
other resolutions may not be scaled properly at this moment. UI scaling is a future development item.
#### Configure Hardware
Add the following to _/boot/config.txt_. You can alter the hdmi_cvt to your screen specifications. This example is setup
for a resolution of 1024x600 and a refresh rate of 60hz.
```
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
```
* Development has been using 1024x600 for a screen resolution. Other resolutions may have issues currently
After changing _/boot/config.txt_ you must reboot your raspberry pi. Please also ensure you followed setting up your screen via the screen instructions. This will likely have a xorg.conf.d file for input from the touchscreen that you need to create.
### Installation
Follow the instructions to install klipper and moonraker.

Once that is done, follow the [Moonraker installation instructions](https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker/blob/master/docs/installation.md) to install the latest version of moonraker.
Using sudo, then run the service install script under _scripts/install_service.sh_ and perform _sudo systemctl daemon-reload_. You can then start KlipperScreen with systemctl such as _systemctl start KlipperScreen_
As an option to do development or interact with KlipperScreen from your computer, you may install tigervnc-scraping-server and VNC to your pi instance. Follow tigervnc server setup procedures for details on how to do that.
