For Raspberry Pi connections, use the provided HDMI cable for video and the USB cable for power and touch functionality. For Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, use the included Micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter. No drivers are required for basic functionality.
Important: For Raspberry Pi 4, if using a system image after 2021-10-30 (e.g., Bullseye), modify dtoverlay = vc4-kms-v3d to dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-v3d in the config.txt file. For Buster, comment out dtoverlay = vc4-fkms-V3D by adding a '#' at the beginning of the line.

6. Troubleshooting
- Monitor not powering on: Ensure the power cable (USB-A to C) is properly plugged into both the Raspberry Pi/PC and the monitor.
- Image is reversed: The monitor does not support image flip.
- No touch functionality: Verify the USB-A to C cable is securely connected between the host device and the monitor.
- No signal on display: Ensure the HDMI cable is properly connected between the host device and the monitor. If using a mini HDMI port, ensure the correct adapter is used.
- Speakers at high volume cause issues: When speakers are at 80% or more volume, connect the power port (not touch port) to provide full power.
