NEW PRODUCT – Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 – 7″ 720×1280 with Capacitive Touch
Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is the sequel to the popular Raspberry Pi Official Display. Like the original, it’s a 7′′ touchscreen display for Raspberry Pi. Unlike the original, it has a much higher quality IPS TFT screen, the same kind used on tablets. That means it looks great at any angle, and it has much higher resolution too, 1280×720 rather than 800×480! It is ideal for interactive projects such as tablets, entertainment systems, and information dashboards.
Raspberry Pi OS provides touchscreen drivers with support for five-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard, giving you full functionality without the need to connect a keyboard or mouse. No coding or special drivers required, everything works out of the box if you’re running the latest Pi OS.
Only two connections are required to connect the 720×1280 display to your Raspberry Pi: power from the GPIO port, and a ribbon cable that connects to the DSI port on all Raspberry Pi computers except for the Raspberry Pi Zero line. The Pi can be mounted on the back for a cute all-in-one setup.
The display can be configured for portrait or landscape mode. Check out the installation guide for how to get started fast. No tools are required, it’s plug-and-play easy!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
