adafruit tft display raspberry pi brands

Is this not the cutest, little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 3.5″ display with 480×320 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay just like our popular original, but this one is engineered specifically to work with the newer “2×20 connector” Raspberry Pi’s. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top!

ThisPiTFT 3.5″ is designed to fit nicely onto the Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 2 or Model A+ / B+ (any Pi with a 2×20 connector). Not for use with an old Pi 1 with 2×13 connectorIf you’d like to use a 3.5″ display with the original Pi A or Pi B, check out this version

The display uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. GPIO #18 can be used to PWM dim the backlight if you like. All other GPIO are unused. There’s a 2×16 ‘classic Pi’ connection GPIO header on the bottom, you can connect a 26-pin Pi GPIO cable to it to use any of the other pins as you like. The other GPIO are broken out into solder pads at the bottom, in case you want to use more of the GPIO.

Best of all, it comes fully assembledand ready to plug into your Pi! You can use this as a display for running the X interface, or pygame. You can also have an HDMI display seperately connected. There’s four mounting ears that can be used to attach the display & Pi to a bezel, or snap them off with pliers (they’re perforated) for a slick exactly-the-same-size-as-a-Pi look.

The official Raspberry Pi 7” Touchscreen allows you to add touch inputs to your programs, creating a new way to interact with your projects. It also makes for a fantastic desktop screen for day-to-day use of your Raspberry Pi. Wrap it in one of our screen cases and take it anywhere – events, Raspberry Jams or even just your friends house for a coding evening!

For smaller projects, LCD and ePaper displays are a fun way to add a visual element to your projects. With simple code and wiring, they’re great for projects that require text, menus and navigation.

The Raspberry Pi ecosystem is extremely versatile, with developers finding endless uses for the popular single-board computers (SBCs). One popular use for the Raspberry Pi is turning it into a retro games console, which is where something like the Adafruit Color TFT Bonnet comes in.

The Adafruit 1.3 " Color TFT Bonnet for Raspberry Pi to give it its full name, the extension board feature more than just a 1.3-inch colour IPS display. Adafruit has included a joystick and two pushbuttons too, with latter arranged like those in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The Adafruit does not include buttons that could be configured for Start and Select, though.

The IPS panel operates at 240 x 240 and can be controlled over SPI. According to the manufacturer, the board is compatible with all common Raspberry Pi variants, including the Pi Zero. There is also a Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector on the bottom of the board. Adafruit provides a kernel driver and Python library for the ST7789 chipset powering the board too.

The Adafruit 1.3 " Color TFT Bonnet costs US$17.50, with Adafruit offering bulk-buy discounts. The unit is out of stock for the time being, but the company will contact prospective buyers when it has produced another batch.

Great for gaming, the PiTFT Plus 2.8 Raspberry Pi Touchscreen has the flexibility to be used as a console, X window port, or for displaying images and videos. This TFT LCD resistive touchscreen, with a 3.5inch screen, works with the 2×20 connector, and fits neatly on top of later generation Raspberry Pis.

Its touchscreen and resistive overlay, as well as its TFT display module, come already assembled, ready to be connected and programmed via your Pi – there is no welding at all, it’s a bona fide plug and play device!

The module uses your Raspberry Pi"s SPI interface, your screen and the SPI (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) and GPIO 24 and 25 pins. The GPIO 18, 21, 22 and 23 pins are left free, so if you wish you can use them to install four slim tactile switches to increase the number of ways of interacting with your module!

This small, colour touchscreen for Raspberry Pi can be used in many different ways, for example as a console or video screen, a DIY GPS or smartphone screen, or even in a small point-and-shoot camera. It can also be used to create a mini arcade game or a mini computer.

I know that the adafruit screen works with the Pi Zero with a few bugs, but I am not sure what brand the eBay screen is, I suggest not to get it from eBay, there are lots of screens that are compatible for the Pi Zero.
