The Raspberry Pi Config Editor visually displays the most cryptic codes in the configuration settings of a Raspberry Pi. The editor does not work with codes but with plain texts. So hopefully starting up your Raspi will be a breeze.
What is the config editor? • First it is a normal editor app • It’s specialized to edit the config.txt file of a Raspberry Pi • It got highlighting functions for the properties • And it is visually - it displays the most cryptic codes of the configuration settings • You can CLICK and SELECT instead of TYPE and SEARCH
An example • We want to setup a Raspberry Pi with a 5” display • The display needs a fixed resolution of 800x480 pixels (15:9) • It’s power connected via USB from our Raspberry Pi What properties do we have to set in the config.txt ?? ?
Start as usual • Download your image from raspberrypi.org/downloads • Write image to the SD card • Just let the card in the reader • And start the Raspberry Pi Config Editor
Setup the display • Select HDMI • Set HDMI drive to Normal DVI mode • Change HDMI group to DMT • And choose our resolution in HDMI mode • Ohh – our display is not supported! • But we can use a special mode: choose Custom mode
