What is need:
Download the SD image of raspbian that supports the Touch screen already configured.
link: [www.watterott.net]
Burn it in your SD card.
insert it on the raspberry plug the screen and boot.
user: pi
Password: raspberry
run: sudo raspi-config
Now when it boot we need to update all the system run the following commands.
install web server etc.
create the following directory were img of the interface will be placed
Lets install webcam support (MJPG-Streamer)
Now is time to install octoprint
Now we need to mount tmp on the memory
edit /etc/fstab like this:
Add the following line.
if you want to be able to make the interface reboot the raspberry add the following lines or you can skip this step.
Run:
Add:
Now we need to install the interface software it self.
Download the img pack
Now is time to calibrate the lcd run:
if your axes of the touch are mixed run:
Clean the file and left it like below.
If the Y axe is inverted when you press the screen modify the file and add this line.
if now is time to see if octoprint is working. run:
from your pc, in your internet explorer addres bar put the ip of the raspberry 192.168.0.x:5000
5000 is the port were octoprint interface is working.
Add the following lines to make the interface runs on boot.
edit:
add before "exit 0" line.

user: pi
Password: raspberry
run: sudo raspi-config
Then expand the file system, configure time zone enable the webcam support (if you have) Save and reboot.
Now when it boot we need to update all the system run the following commands.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
install web server etc.
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 bc chromium-browser matchbox x11-xserver-utils unclutter mplayer
create the following directory were img of the interface will be placed
sudo mkdir /var/www/img
Lets install webcam support (MJPG-Streamer)
cd ~ sudo apt-get install subversion libjpeg8-dev imagemagick libav-tools cmake git clone [github.com] cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental make sudo make install
Now is time to install octoprint
cd ~ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev git sudo apt-get install python-setuptools git clone [github.com] cd OctoPrint sudo python setup.py install mkdir ~/.octoprint sudo usermod -a -G tty pi sudo usermod -a -G dialout pi
Now we need to mount tmp on the memory
edit /etc/fstab like this:
sudo vi /etc/fstab
Add the following line.
tmpfs /tmp/ tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
if you want to be able to make the interface reboot the raspberry add the following lines or you can skip this step.
Run:
sudo visudo
Add:
brftv ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /usr/bin/mplayer
Now we need to install the interface software it self.
cd ~ wget [dl.dropboxusercontent.com] tar xvf home-pi_v1.3.tar cd /var/www sudo rm index.html sudo wget [dl.dropboxusercontent.com] sudo tar xvf var-www_v1.3.tar
Download the img pack
cd ~ wget [forums.reprap.org] unzip img.zip sudo cp /home/pi/img/* /var/www/img/
Now is time to calibrate the lcd run:
cd ~ ./start_touchscreen_calibration.sh
if your axes of the touch are mixed run:
sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
Clean the file and left it like below.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "InvertX" "true"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Calibration" "214 3793 214 3984"

If the Y axe is inverted when you press the screen modify the file and add this line.
Option "InvertY" "true"

Watching on a 3" screen what's printing right next to it is like getting front row midfield seats to the SuperBowl and watching a telecast of it streamed to your cell phone. 
The rest of the functionality I do like though.

I think it's worth pointing out that there are a couple of other ways of achieving the same goals, i.e. accessing the printer over a network and have a graphical user interface that doesn't add a lot of load on the controller. First, some printer electronics (e.g. Duet and Smoothieboard) have an Ethernet port and support a web interface. For example, here is the web interface supported by the Duet:
It works on mobile devices too. Second, there is a colour touch screen control panel [full disclosure: I manufacture this], currently supported by the Duet, with Smoothieware support in progress. The controller board has its own processor to reduce the load on the main processor and supports 4.3 inch and 5 inch touch screens.

It works very well but the the small interface has no connection to octoprint
edit: smjpg-streamer also not start alone.

so what i do know,
i will change all files from the /var/www folder to the right api, like the get_api_printer.sh i edit this:
also the tmp folder is directly in the /var/www folder
when you edit the lins 18 to 27 in the index4.php file to this
it work :-)
So i have to edit all files

i will change all files from the /var/www folder to the right api, like the get_api_printer.sh i edit this:
# Copy this script on raspberry to this location
# sudo cp /mnt/smb1/_octopi/static/get_api_printer.sh /var/www
cd /var/www/tmp/
wget -N 127.0.0.1:5000/api/printer --header 'X-Api-Key:2DE83FAD0F1D4018B48E06804F02C7F5'
grep -m 1 '"actual":' printer | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\,//g' > var_printer_bed_actual_temp
grep '"actual":' printer | tail -1 | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\,//g' > var_printer_extruder_actual_temp
grep -m 1 '"target":' printer | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\,//g' > var_printer_bed_target_temp
grep '"target":' printer | tail -1 | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/\,//g' > var_printer_extruder_target_temp
also the tmp folder is directly in the /var/www folder
when you edit the lins 18 to 27 in the index4.php file to this
<?php
// get api data from script
exec("bash ./get_api_printer.sh");
// load variable from file
$var_printer_bed_actual_temp = round(file_get_contents('/var/www/tmp/var_printer_bed_actual_temp'), 0);
$var_printer_bed_target_temp = round(file_get_contents('/var/www/tmp/var_printer_bed_target_temp'), 0);
$var_printer_extruder_actual_temp = round(file_get_contents('/var/www/tmp/var_printer_extruder_actual_temp'), 0);
$var_printer_extruder_target_temp = round(file_get_contents('/var/www/tmp/var_printer_extruder_target_temp'), 0);
?>
it work :-)
