Hello, I have gotten Linuxcnc running in my RPi 5 with MESA and am now moving on to cutting chips :) the original build uses a 10" Raspberry pi touchscreen (this: Cool hood 10.1 RPi screen), but I can't get the touchscreen part working. In the meantime I realize that 10" is small and I'd love to use the Probe Basic interface which required Full HD (1920*1080).

​​​​QUestion is: what touchscreen in 12-15" size have been proven working with a RPi 5? 

I am interested in the Waveshare 13.3inch DSI LCD ( Waveshare ) as it seems to fit from compact dimensions and have drivers for bookworm. I see these are dependent on kernel though so I am now fearful it may not work with our RT kernels? 

Any experience or other recommendation? 

​​​​​​Thanks!

Look for a touch screen that enumerates as HID (USB). Human Interface Device, these need no special drivers or such.

Thanks - is there any way to recognize this from the specs, or are you aware of a list of screens that provide this?

I have this one, used on my mill with a PC platform: Expensive
Planar Pct 2235 22" 1920X1080 Full HD Touch Screen VGA HDMI DISPLAY PORT USB

For the RPi5: Cheap

I would assume if the touchscreen interface is USB you should be fine. Tho the raspberry pi forums maybe a better resource, just look\ask for usb hid compatible touchscreen, stipulate USB HID is the only option.

Thank you for the guidance!

I got a super cheap 65eur 14" touchscreen off Amazon where the seller stated it is USB HID and it works just perfectly fine first try. Much easier indeed to use standard USB than trying to make drivers work for a dedicated solution. 

Couldn't be happier how it turned out - using the VESA mounts to attach the raspi on the back, and have a desk stand I will mount to the back of the mill stand to hold the screen in place.

If I could ask a small favour, could you provide a link to the item, then I'll put the details of the screen in the big RPi thread for others that may be looking for a touchscreen.

Glad you've had success.

Cheers
Rob

Here you go: There's a 14 and 15.1" version available. I got the 14", and it goes by the very distinctive name of "Jhcztrk Touchscreen Portable Monitor 14 Inch Smaller Work PC Monitor with HDMI USB C, IPS Screen HDR, 400cd/m² FHD 1080P 99% sRGB".
