This small touch screen display is perfect for the Raspberry Pi! The board features a 2.8″ 320×240 16 Bit color display and a capacitive touch overlay. This version works just like the Model B version, but now matches the outline of the newer Raspberry Pi Models. It also has all 40 pins GPIO pins brought out so you can connect a 40-pin GPIO cable underneath.

The display and touchscreen use the hardware I2C Pins (SDA & SCL), SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. All other GPIO are unused and you can still share the I2C pins with sensors, LED drivers, etc. There are also 4 mini tactile switch footprints connected to the GPIO available on the board that can be used to create a basic user interface.

Using the screen is easy! Simply download the Adafruit prepared Raspbian image, write it to a microSD card, and away you go! More information, download links, and detailed instructions can be found in the Adafruit Tutorial.

We recommend using this handy faceplate . It provides a nice clean cover with 4 buttons and is compatible with the Adafruit Smoked and Clear Raspberry Pi Cases.
