This requires installing PADD (Pi-hole Ad Detection Display) and Pi-Hole on the Adafruit 2.8" PiTFT Plus to display useful and fun statistics such as Amount of Pi-holed Advertisements,and the top offending domain attempting to serve pesky advertisements to your network.

PiTFT Plus Assembled 320x240 2.8" TFT - one of the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi. It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay.

This guide will show you how to setup and configure your Pi hole to display the pi hole system status and ads blocked using the Pi Supply Media Center HAT. The Pi Supply Media Center HAT is a 2.8″ TFT display that connects to your Raspberry Pi, and includes other feature such as IR receiver, restive touch and navigation buttons that can be soldered to the PCB.

Step 4 – Install the Media Center HAT software. We want to display the main output on the TFT display only, from the command line type in the following:

We upgraded our Pi Zero Pi Hole with a little display, that makes setting up clients easy and also gives you some nifty stats!

This kit uses an OLED display, which over time will dim…for that reason we’ve upgraded this kit to use a TFT display that will stay bright for years! We recommend the upgrade kit, check it out here. We’ll keep this kit around for those who really like OLED displays.

Adafruit Mini PiTFT — full color 240×135 pixel IPS display with great visibility at all angles. The TFT uses only the SPI port so it’s very fast — and unlike the OLED display, it will not dim over time

All you need is a USB power supply and a USB cable (not included cause you probably have spares) to power the Pi Zero WH+PiTFT. You can put it anywhere in your home or office where WiFi is available.

platform that I already had experience with and knew was more than capable of emulating the one game I needed to run. Besides, the simplicity and low cost of the ecosystem for Raspberry Pi far outweighs the extra expense and effort required going down the PC route.” With a custom build and emulation, authenticity of the gameplay experience could be a bit off. However, that’s not the case here. “I think that it plays just like the real arcade machine mainly due to the inclusion of the replica yoke controller, and adding your credit by pressing the button on the coin door,” says James. “Ideally a vector monitor or a CRT would go a long way to making it look just like the original, but a reasonable representation is possible on an LCD using shaders and anti-aliasing. Gameplay does seem to get really hard really quick, though; this could be due to an imperfect emulation, but is more likely due to my reactions having dulled somewhat in the last 38 years!”

Tricky curves Despite his experience with 3D printing to date, Kevin says the trickiest part of the design was modelling the curves, as he’d not done this before. He persevered, knowing the curves would set his design apart from others. It was also a challenge to find a true 4:3 LCD screen that was inexpensive and readily available, he says, but rarer still to find a retro computer that used the 16:9 aspect ratio of modern displays. He was eventually able to source an 8-inch Pimoroni display to give Callisto that all-important 1980s look.

144 The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2023 Plug & Play Raspberry-Pi HDMI TFT Displays Midas first introduced the HDMI TFT range in 2018, and have continued to develop this range over the past 4 years. These displays are ideal ‘plug & play’ devices for a Raspberry Pi SBC.

With the addition of a Raspberry Pi SBC, the Midas Displays HDMI TFT modules become a fully func- tional, easy-to-use displays. The integrated PCB has a 40-pin GPIO interface and a standard 19-pin type-A HDMI connector, enabling direct connection of a Raspberry Pi SBC. The HDMI TFT modules can also easily be used with many other single board computers. These key features enable the HDMI TFT displays to be used with any external HDMI input source.
