How To: Setup the Waveshare 3.5b Version 2 Raspberry Pi Screen

The documentation for this screen sucks, but I’m hear to right that wrong. Let’s dig deep into our command-fu and make it happen.

You can get this screen here:
👉 Waveshare 3.5b Version 2: https://geni.us/MNPSUx
👉 Raspberry Pi 4: https://geni.us/5nlUN
👉 Raspberry Pi 5: https://geni.us/l0w2hPy

Documentation:
👉 My Guide: https://github.com/TemporarilyOffline/WaveShare

Note: There is a part where Waveshare left out a command for the Pi 5 that might be necessary. Its in the ~/.bash_profile inside of the pi5 if block where you might need to put in `fbcp &` like in the else block. Same for later in /etc/rc.local
