Raspberry Pi is a Palm Size computer that comes in very handy when prototyping stuff that requires high computational power. It is being extensively used for IOT hardware development and robotics application and much more memory hunger applications. In most of the projects involving the Pi it would be extremely useful if the Pi had a display through which we can monitor the vitals of our project.

The pi itself has a HDMI output which can be directly connected to a Monitor, but in projects where space is a constrain we need smaller displays. So in this tutorial we will learn how we can interface the popular 3.5 inch Touch Screen TFT LCD screen from waveshare with Raspberry pi. At the end of this tutorial you will have a fully functional LCD display with touch screen on top of your Pi ready to be used for your future projects.

It is assumed that your Raspberry Pi is already flashed with an operating system and is able to connect to the internet. If not, follow the Getting started with Raspberry Pi tutorial before proceeding.

It is also assumed that you have access to the terminal window of your raspberry pi. In this tutorial we will be using Putty in SSH mode to connect to the Raspberry Pi. You can use any method but you should somehow be able to have access to your Pi’s terminal window.

Connecting your 3.5” TFT LCD screen with Raspberry pi is a cake walk. The LCD has a strip of female header pins which will fit snug into the male header pins. You just have to align the pins and press the LCD on top of the Pi to make the connection. Once fixed properly you Pi and LCD will look something like this below. Note that I have used a casing for my Pi so ignore the white box.

For people who are curious to know what these pins are! It is used to establish a SPI communication between the Raspberry Pi and LCD and also to power the LCD from the 5V and 3.3V pin of the raspberry Pi. Apart from that it also has some pins dedicated for the touch screen to work. Totally there are 26 pins, the symbol and description of the pins are shown below

Now, after connecting the LCD to PI, power the PI and you will see a blank white screen on the LCD. This is because there are no drivers installed on our PI to use the connected LCD. So let us open the terminal window of Pi and start making the necessary changes. Again, I am using putty to connect to my Pi you can use your convenient method.

Step 2: Navigate to Boot Options -> Desktop/CLI and select option B4 Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI, automatically logged in as ‘pi’ user as highlighted in below image. This will make the PI to login automatically from next boot without the user entering the password.

Step 3: Now again navigate to interfacing options and enable SPI as show in the image below. We have to enable the SPI interface because as we discussed the LCD and PI communicates through SPI protocol

Step 4: Click on this waveshare driver link to download the driver as a ZIP file. Then move the ZIP file to you PI OS. I used Filezilla to do this, but you can also use a pen drive and simple copy paste work.  Mine was placed in the path /home/pi.

Step 7: Now use the below command to restart your Pi. This will automatically end the terminal window. When the PI restarts you should notice the LCD display also showing the boot information and finally the desktop will appear as shown below.

Hope you understood the tutorial and were successful in interfacing your LCD with PI and got it working. If otherwise state your problem in the comment section below or use the forums for more technical quires.

In this tutorial, we are going to interface a 3.5-inch TFT display with Raspberry Pi Zero Wdevelopment board. Although Raspberry pi zero itself has an HDMI output that can be directly connected to a Monitor, but in projects where space is a constrain, we need smaller displays. This TFT touch screen display can be easily interfaced to the Raspberry Pi to display the system console, movies, and images, as well as control a relay board and other devices at your fingertips. We’ve used software like MobaXterm or putty to connect to the PC remotely in past tutorials. Here, we are going to use MobaXterm software to install the required drivers for interfacing TFT display with Raspberry Pi Zero W.

This TFT LCD display has a 3.5-inch resistive touch screen display and is compatible with any hardware of the Raspberry Pi family. This 3.5" TFT display has 480x320 pixels with a 16-bit resolution and resistive touch option. It can fit directly on top of the Raspberry Pi Zero W board and gets powered from the Vcc pin, the display communicates through SPI protocol with the Pi. Additionally, you can also use the HDMI port on the Pi to connect it to another display as well. It is designed for Raspberry Pi Zero/Pi 2 /Pi 3 Model B / B+ and can also be used on other hardware platforms which have SPI interfaces. The highlights of this display module is that it supports plug and play without rebooting the Pi and the SPI speed runs as fast as 32MHz to support games and videos.

There are 26 pins in TFT RPi LCD display. It"s used to establish SPI communication between the Raspberry Pi and the LCD, as well as to power the LCD from the Raspberry Pi"s 5V and 3.3V pins. The description of pins is shown below.

It is very easy to connect Raspberry Pi Zero W with a 3.5” TFT LCD display. There are 40 pins on the Raspberry Pi Zero W, but only 26 pins on the LCD, so make sure you connect the pins to your Pi correctly. A strip of female header pins on the LCD will fit snugly into the male header pins. To establish the connection, simply align the pins and press the LCD on top of the Raspberry Pi zero W. When everything is in place, your Pi and LCD should look like the one given below.

After you"ve connected the LCD to the Raspberry Pi Zero W and power on it, you"ll see a blank white screen on the LCD which is due to the fact that no drivers for the linked LCD have been installed on the Pi. So, open the Pi"s terminal window and start making the necessary adjustments. Here, we are going to use MobaXterm software for connecting Raspberry Pi Zero W but you can use PuTTY or any software which is most comfortable for you.

It"s expected that your Raspberry Pi already has an operating system installed and can connect to the internet. If it is not then you can follow our previous tutorial Getting Started with the RASPBERRY PI ZERO W – Headless Setup without Monitor. It"s also assumed that you have access to your Raspberry Pi"s terminal window. In this tutorial, we are going to use MobXterm in SSH mode to connect it with Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Step-2: In this step, we are going to enable SPI connection for Raspberry Pi Zero W. To enable SPI communication, select ‘Interface options’, and then select ‘SPI option’. Then click on "yes" to enable SPI interfacing.

Step-3: Now as we have enabled the SPI interfacing, in this step, we are going to install touch driver in our Raspberry Pi Zero W. You can install the touch drivers using the below command:

Step-5: Now, restart your Raspberry Pi Zero W. When the Raspberry Pi Zero W restarts, you will see the boot information on the LCD display before the desktop appears, as shown below.

I would like to add one thing at the end of this tutorial that while doing this interfacing, I faced a problem related to OS. TFT display interfacing with Raspberry Pi Zero W was not working on Raspberry Pi OS LiteandRaspberry Pi OS with desktopbut when I used the Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software then TFT display interfacing with Raspberry Pi Zero W worked as expected.

This is how you can interface Raspberry Pi Zero W with a 3.5 inch TFT Raspberry Pi display. In our next tutorials, we are going to interface different sensors with Raspberry Pi Zero and you will see some amazing DIY projects using Raspberry Pi Zero W. I Hope you"ve enjoyed the project and learned something useful. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section below or use our forum to start a discussion on the same.

After doing a lot of searching through old threads and posts here and elsewhere I have simply been unable to solve this one, and I am hoping someone has a solution.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 and an Adafruit PiTFT 3.5" screen. At some point in the past I had a screen (some random Amazon version) that acted as a second screen with its drivers installed. Ie. in the Screen Configuration tool it showed up as a separate display.

There is a KMS driver for HX8357D in https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/bl ... /hx8357d.c for what appears to be an Adafruit display, but AFAIK there isn"t an overlay for it at present, nor the driver being built into the kernel.

If it is anything like the 2.8" PiTFT , all I could get it to do was either 1) Mess up my monitor resolution to match it, or 2) terminal on both it and my monitor.

It looks like PhilE and I have ended up doing the same work, as he"s just merged https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/co ... eaa516d977, and I had a near identical update locally that I was about to push.

"sudo rpi-update" will get you the absolute latest kernel and firmware. There is a slim chance of regressions, hence the recommendation to use a new SD card.

First, with both displays enabled the system is slow and almost impossible to work with. Any ideas how to improve this? (I don"t really need both in operation at once, so I am thinking maybe a script to swap between them?)

The pitft35 is really slow at 32MHz and if vc4/HDMI has to wait for pitft35 to complete its pageflip before vc4 gets its turn, both displays will run at maybe 8-10fps?

You can try to increase the SPI speed since the DRM driver only runs pixel data at full speed and configuration commands at 10MHz so there is no danger of corrupting the controller configuration due to transmission bit flips. But it will still be slow.

The fbtft driver calls the property "rotate" and the DRM driver calls it "rotation". The DT overlay needs a fix to the rotate parameter like it"s done here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/co ... 3e881ca468

No - it needs the overlay updated so that the "rotate" parameter changes the "rotation" property. Which is now done: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/co ... 82cef6d80a

When following the same setup that works on the 32 bit system, the 64 bit becomes stuck in some kind of display reboot loop as soon as the 3.5" driver is installed. If the HDMI is unplugged completely it is possible to use the 3.5" screen normally, but if the HDMI is plugged back in the 3.5" screen and HDMI displays both seem to alternate rebooting and become unusable. Even the VNC display is no longer available. If the HDMI is unplugged the VNC display returns.

The RPi LCD can be driven in two ways: Method 1. install driver to your Raspbian OS. Method 2. use the Ready-to-use image file of which LCD driver was pre-installed.

2) Connect the TF card to the PC, open the Win32DiskImager software, select the system image downloaded in step 1 and click‘Write’ to write the system image. ( How to write an image to a micro SD card for your Pi? See RPi Image Installation Guides for more details)

3) Connect the TF card to the Raspberry Pi, start the Raspberry Pi. The LCD will display after booting up, and then log in to the Raspberry Pi terminal,(You may need to connect a keyboard and HDMI LCD to Pi for driver installing, or log in remotely with SSH)

This LCD can be calibrated through the xinput-calibrator program. Note: The Raspberry Pi must be connected to the network, or else the program won"t be successfully installed.

The TFT LCD class provides basic firmware functionalities like Init, ResetDevice, WriteDevice, WriteDataToDevice, WriteBlock and FillRectangle.

The 3.5 inch LCD Display is directly pluggable into a Raspberry Pi and perfectly fits various Pi models from B+ to Raspberry Pi 3B+. It is a brilliant alternative for an HDMI monitor. When set up, it behaves as a human-machine interface enabling the user to prototype with the Raspberry Pi device anywhere at any time.

This is a 5" Raspberry Pi LCD touchscreen with 800*480 resolution and 108×64.8mm display area. The product supports Raspberry Pi DSI display interface and comes with a capacitive touch panel on its screen and supports 5 touch points.

The special holes design on the back of the screen is convenient to directly install the Raspberry Pi in the product. There is no need to provide external power for the touchscreen as the Raspberry Pi power supply is adopted. In addition, the screen supports hardware backlight adjustment. The function can be realized by turning the potentiometer on the back of the display.

Under the above event types there are more features and event codes. These are used to give more specific information. E.g. X axis, key pressed, button press on a joystick, etc..

Below is an example output from the my code for some of the touchscreen events;Event type is Key & Event code is TOUCH(330) & Event value is 1 = Touch Starting

The code below is the section of getTouchScreenDetails() that retrieves some initial details from the touchscreen. These include the name of the driver, supported codes used and very importantly the min and max values for X & Y coordinates, which are passed to *screenXmin, *screenXmax, *screenYmin, *screenYmax.void getTouchScreenDetails(int *screenXmin,int *screenXmax,int *screenYmin,int *screenYmax)

To poll the touchscreen for input events, getTouchSample() is used in the main loop. This function also outputs all events to the console. The important lines of code are where we match event type EV_ABS and codes 0,1 & 330 which are X, Y and Pressure respectively. The Event values are then passed back to main using the pointers *rawX, *rawY and *rawPressure.void getTouchSample(int *rawX, int *rawY, int *rawPressure)

for (i = 0; i < (rb / sizeof(struct input_event)); i++){ if (ev.type == EV_SYN) printf("Event type is %s%s%s = Start of New Event\n",KYEL,events[ev.type],KWHT); else if (ev.type == EV_KEY && ev.code == 330 && ev.value == 1) printf("Event type is %s%s%s & Event code is %sTOUCH(330)%s & Event value is %s1%s = Touch Starting\n", KYEL,events[ev.type],KWHT,KYEL,KWHT,KYEL,KWHT$ else if (ev.type == EV_KEY && ev.code == 330 && ev.value == 0) printf("Event type is %s%s%s & Event code is %sTOUCH(330)%s & Event value is %s0%s = Touch Finished\n", KYEL,events[ev.type],KWHT,KYEL,KWHT,KYEL,KWHT$ else if (ev.type == EV_ABS && ev.code == 0 && ev.value > 0){

printf("Event type is %s%s%s & Event code is %sX(24)%s & Event value is %s%d%s = Pressure\n", KYEL,events[ev.type],KWHT,KYEL,KWHT,KYEL,ev.value,KWHT);

Before we can draw on the frame buffer, we need to open it and then store the space usde by the framebuffer in memory. We then write to this space to draw to the TFT.

The drawSquare() function is a very simple function used to draw a square on the TFT where it has been touched. It uses put_pixel_16bpp to paint a pixal to the TFT.

put_pixel_16bpp() is used to paint a pixel on a 16Bit Per Pixel screen. The X and Y values correlate to the screen resolution. It also accepts R,G & B values for color.void put_pixel_16bpp(int x, int y, int r, int g, int b)

We do need to scale the values for the X and Y coordinates read from the touchscreen as they are at a higher sensitivity than what the resolution of the TFT is.

My touchscreen returns a value between 190/280 and 3830 for the X or Y readings. So we need to scale this to match the resolution of the TFT, which is 320×240.
