UPDATED GUIDE: Adafruit PiTFT – 2.8″ Touchscreen Display for Raspberry Pi #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit @Raspberry_Pi @MakerMelissa

An updated guide is available in the Adafruit Learning System: Adafruit PiTFT – 2.8″ Touchscreen Display for Raspberry Pi. This guide has had the PiTFT PyGame Tips page updated with a working SDL installation script.

Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8″ display with 320×240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. 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!

The original version PID 1601 is designed to fit nicely onto the Pi Model A or B but also works perfectly fine with the Pi Zero, Pi 2, Pi 3 or Pi 1 Model A+ or B+ as long as you don’t mind the PCB overhangs the USB ports by 5mm.

The newer PiTFTs are updated to fit perfectly onto the Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 2 or Model A+, B+! (Any Pi with a 2×20 connector)…
