pihole 2.8 tft lcd sheild quotation

This guide will show you how to setup and configure your Pi hole to display the pi hole system status and ads blocked using the Pi Supply Media Center HAT. The Pi Supply Media Center HAT is a 2.8″ TFT display that connects to your Raspberry Pi, and includes other feature such as IR receiver, restive touch and navigation buttons that can be soldered to the PCB.

Step 4 – Install the Media Center HAT software. We want to display the main output on the TFT display only, from the command line type in the following:

The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 1.6 million entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0) (if you decide to use the [mahakala list](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965)). This script is controlled by the `pihole` command. Please run `pihole -h` to see what commands can be run via `pihole`.

You"ll find that the [install script](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh) and the [debug script](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Scripts/piholeDebug.sh) have an abundance of comments, which will help you better understand how Pi-hole works. They"re also a valuable resource to those who want to learn how to write scripts or code a program! We encourage anyone who likes to tinker to read through it, and submit a pull request for us to review.

The `pihole` command has all the functionality necessary to be able to fully administer the Pi-hole, without the need of the Web Interface. It"s fast, user-friendly, and auditable by anyone with understanding of `bash`.

this is the latest version of the first and original TFT touch panel display board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi. This hardware version is compatible for all 40-way GPIO Pi"s, so that is the A+, the B+ and the latest Pi 2B and uses the established HY28B display board which features a resolution of 320 x 240 at 65k colours. As usual the display utilises the excellent fbtft drivers authored by notro, only now those drivers are included in the very latest raspbian image, although not currently included in the image available from the foundations download page. I expect this to change in the very near future so that the rpi-update step is no longer required.

It is recommended to use the latest raspbian image , at the time of posting is dated 2015-02-16, to configure using an SSH session remotely, with no TV/Monitor connected to the HDMI port, and to connect the 2.8" Display board right from the start prior to connecting power to the Pi.
