Touch frame setup
Measurement
- Measure viewable glass width × height in millimetres.
- Order a frame rated for that active area — not the plastic TV bezel.
Physical install
- Clean glass aggressively — oils break IR beams.
- Mount frame per vendor clips — keep parallel edges; twist causes false touches.
- Route USB cable down the same chase as Pi HDMI so it does not dangle in front of sensors.
⚠️ Warning: Do not crank clamp screws — uneven pressure cracks glass.
Linux / Chromium
- Plug USB —
lsusbshould list a HID multitouch device. - If axes inverted, swap X/Y or rotation in Settings → Input → Touch (build-dependent) or udev rules.
Troubleshooting
Ghost touches
Direct sunlight hitting sensors — add brow; recalibrate via vendor utility if provided.
Dead band at edges
Oversized frame — remeasure active area.
