Openplotter screen configuration
#1
I just added the 8" Waveshare touch screen to my Pi 4 with the Macarthur Hat w/AIS - - -
in the Pi screen preferences I enabled the Medium screen default - which changed my whole screen setup (I thought it would just change the size)  - - -
How do I change the screen settings back to the openplotter screen setup


Thank you in advance

To revert your screen settings back to the OpenPlotter setup:

1. Open a terminal and run `sudo raspi-config`, then go to Display Options > Resolution and select the correct resolution (e.g., 800x480).
2. Adjust OpenPlotter settings in the OpenPlotter interface if needed.
3. If touchscreen calibration was affected, install and run `xinput_calibrator` to recalibrate the screen.
4. Reboot the Pi to apply changes.

This should restore your previous screen setup.

To revert to the OpenPlotter screen setup on your Raspberry Pi 4 after changing the screen preferences, you need to reset the display settings.
Start by opening a terminal and typing "sudo nano /boot/config.txt" to edit the configuration file. Look for any lines related to display settings that were added or modified and comment them out by adding a "#" at the beginning. Save the file and exit, then run "sudo reboot" to restart the Pi. After rebooting, your screen should revert to the OpenPlotter layout. If you still encounter issues, check the OpenPlotter documentation for specific display configurations.
