Detailed Product Description:
Transform your Raspberry Pi into a compact, portable device with a 3.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display. This vibrant and responsive screen is a game-changer for any project, providing a direct human-machine interface without the need for an external monitor. It connects seamlessly to your Raspberry Pi via the 40-pin GPIO header, making it a clean and compact solution for your projects. While the screen is not plug-and-play and requires a simple driver installation on your Raspberry Pi OS (like Raspbian), the provided SPI interface ensures high-speed data transmission for smooth performance.
The display boasts a sharp 480x320 pixel resolution, perfect for displaying a full-featured desktop, custom control panels, or real-time data from your sensors. The integrated resistive touchscreen allows for precise input using a stylus or finger, making it an ideal choice for creating menu-driven systems or DIY handheld gaming consoles with platforms like RetroPie. The screen’s compact form factor is a huge advantage, enabling you to build portable robots, security cameras, or even a personal digital assistant with an intuitive user interface.
Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or professional, this 3.5-inch Raspberry Pi LCD display provides the visual feedback and interactive control you need. Its combination of a high-quality display, reliable touch input, and direct compatibility with the Raspberry Pi’s hardware makes it an indispensable component for bringing your most innovative projects to life.
This 3.5-inch TFT LCD Touchscreen Display is designed specifically for Raspberry Pi boards and offers a compact, colorful, and interactive display solution. It features a 320×480 resolution, resistive touchscreen, and a direct GPIO interface, eliminating the need for HDMI or additional power supplies.
Whether you're building a portable Pi setup, a touch-controlled robot, or a custom interface for IoT control, this module is a must-have. It supports Raspbian OS, Kali, RetroPie, and Ubuntu Mate with proper driver installation.
