adafruit tft display raspberry pi price

Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 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!

It"s designed to fit nicely onto the Pi 1 Model A or B but also works OK with the Pi 4, Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 2 or Pi 1 Model A+ or B+(any Pi with a 2x20 connector) as long as you don"t mind the PCB overhangs the USB ports by 5mm, see the photos above. If you have a modern Pi with a 2x20 connector, you may want to grab a PiTFT 2.8" Plus which does not overhang

Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. All other GPIO are unused. Since we had a tiny bit of space, there are 4 spots for optional slim tactile switches wired to four GPIOs, that you can use if you want to make a basic user interface. For example, you can use one as a power on/off button. See below for the link to get the optional tact switches, they"re not included.

As of 8/15/2014 it comes fully assembledand ready to plug into your Pi! The photos above also show the optional installed slim tactile buttons. The tactile buttons are not included, but you can pick up a pack of 20 here. Some basic soldering is required to install the buttons.

We"ve created a custom kernel package based of off Notro"s awesome framebuffer work, so you can install it over your existing Raspbian (or derivative) images in just a few commands. Our tutorial shows you how to install the software, as well as calibrate the touchscreen, show videos, display images such as from your PiCam and more!

TheAdafruit Mini PiTFT - 135x240 Color TFT Add-on for Raspberry Pi is your little TFT pal, ready to snap onto any and all Raspberry Pi computers, to give you a little display. The Mini PiTFT comes with a full color 240x135 pixel IPS display with great visibility at all angles. The TFT uses only the SPI port so its very fast, and leaves plenty of pins remaining available for buttons, LEDs, sensors, etc. It"s also nice and compact so it will fit into any case.

This display is super small, only about 1.14" diagonal, but since it is an IPS display, its very readable with high contrast and visibility. There was a little space on the top so Adafruit give you two tactile buttons on GPIO pins so you can create a simple user interface. On the bottom there is a Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector for I2C sensors and device so you can plug and play any STEMMA QT devices.

Using the display is very easy, Adafruit have a kernel driver and Python library for the ST7789 chipset. You can set it up as a console output so you can have text and user interface through the Raspberry Pi OS or you draw images, text, whatever you like, using the Python imaging library. Tests showed ~15 FPS update rates so you can do animations or simple video.

Comes completely pre-assembled and tested so you don"t need to do anything but plug it in and install our Python code!Works with any Raspberry Pi computer.

One thing I’ve learned over and over from working on the Raspberry Pi is that it’s most likely going to take a chunk of time to get things set up just the way you want.  And this display is no different.

I’ve written in the past about How to Play HD Video on a Raspberry Pi — so this is a continuation from a Raspbian Linux distribution image already in that state.  I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to write this post, but if I ever have to do this again I don’t want to have to google so many steps again.  So hopefully you’ll find this useful as well.

First I tried the instructions from here: Adafruit: Detailed Installation before realizing the available manual has an auto-configure option.  But I couldn’t get these working at first because the Debian package mirrors wouldn’t work so I had to modify my apt sources list to use some working mirrors. The download of the adafruit-pitft-helper package was still unavailable to me via apt but you can get it from Github.

You need to run this script adafruit-pitft-helper specifically to enable the console on your display.  The manual instructions on their website do not tell you how to do this, only for enabling the display for the graphical interface X11.  This script does the heavy lifting.

At this point the terminal is all set for your display.  Following this I will show you how to enable high definition video playback on your TFT display from the command line.  I won’t go into setting up the touchscreen for the X11 desktop, you can refer to the manual for that.  Personally I don’t think the Raspberry Pi makes a good desktop system as it’s slow, I much prefer the console.

If you try the omxplayer from the previous blog post you’ll find the video doesn’t show up on the display.  The reason is that it’s rendering on frame buffer 0 when the TFT is using frame buffer 1.  To get around this you need to use frame buffer copying with the fbcp program.  The instructions they provide are close but don’t follow the second modprobe command (as it messed up my display).

Now when you want to play a video you type omx myvideo.mp4 and it switches to frame buffer copying, plays the video given as the first parameter with omxplayer (taking advantage of GPU high speed graphics), after omxplayer exits fbcp is closed out with the killall command, we then clear the display of any visual artifacts left behind and we’re back to where we need to be with a nice looking display!
