raspberry pi foundation 7 touchscreen lcd display made in china

Raspberry Pi OS provides touchscreen drivers with support for ten-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard, giving you full functionality without the need to connect a keyboard or mouse.

The 800 x 480 display connects to Raspberry Pi via an adapter board that handles power and signal conversion. Only two connections to your Raspberry Pi are required: 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 official 7” Touchscreen Monitor for Raspberry Pi gives users the ability to create all-in-one, integrated projects such as tablets, infotainment systems and embedded projects. The 800 x 480 display connects via an adapter board which handles power and signal conversion. Only two connections to the Pi are required; power from the Pi’s GPIO port and a ribbon cable that connects to the DSI port present on all Raspberry Pi’s. Touchscreen drivers with support for 10-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard will be integrated into the latest Raspbian OS for full functionality without a physical keyboard or mouse.Kit Contents:- 7” Touchscreen Display- Adapter Board- DSI Ribbon cable- 4 x stand-offs and screws (used to mount the adapter board and Raspberry Pi board to the back of the display-4 x jumper wires (used to connect the power from the Adapter Board and the GPIO pins on the Pi so the 2Amp power is shared across both units)Perspex layer frame in your choice of colour!* Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 4 only. Not compatible with Pi 400. *

This 7 Inch Raspberry Pi Touchscreen is customized forRaspberry Pi, but it is not limited to the 7-inch HDMI display of Raspberry Pi, 1024x600 HD resolution, with capacitive touch screen. This product is also a universal HDMI display, users can use it on other mini PCs (drive support is required), or even use it as a computer monitor.

It’s a 7-inch display, 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 24-bit color, and has 10-point multitouch. Drivers for the display are already available with a simple call of sudo apt-get update, and the display itself is available at Newark, the Pi Store (sold out) and Element14. There’s even a case available, and a stand ready to be sent off to a 3D printer.

As for why it took so long for the Raspberry Pi foundation to introduce an official display for the Pi, the answer should not be surprising for any engineer. It’s EMC, or electromagnetic compliance. The DPI (Display Parallel Interface) for the Pi, presented on the expansion header and used by the GertVGA adapter allows any Pi to drive two displays at 1920 x 1024, 60FPS. This DPI interface is an electrical nightmare that spews RF interference everywhere it goes.

The solution the Pi foundation eventually settled on is an adapter board that converts the DSI bus to DPI signalling. This of course requires an extra PCB, and the Foundation provided mounting holes so a Pi can connect directly to it.

While this is the first display to make use of the DSI interface, it will assuredly not be the last. The Pi Foundation has given us a way to use the DSI connector to drive cheap DPI displays. While the 800×480 resolution of the official display may be a bit small, there will undoubtedly be a few hardcore tinkerers out there that will take this adapter board and repurpose it for larger displays.

I"m using it to run a lighting and irrigation system for my house. The color graphical interface allows me to use BMP images of my house and yard for control screens, and its built into an enclosure set into the wall for a slick professional look. I even put an access from the backside of the wall for wiring it without having to remove the Pi or the touchscreen.

This was easy to install and it looks good. The Touchscreen is responsive and clear, but you might want to use a stylus. The only issue i had is finding a case for it. You"ll want to get one right away, unless you have a 3D printer to make one yourself. The screen is really thin, so I didn"t want to carry it around without some protection. Overall, it"s a great touchscreen, especially for the price, and I like that it is Raspi-branded.

I purchased 5 touchscreen. Two before and three in January. Touch and display quality is superb. After two-three month of use (no rough use; handled with care), display LCD and front touchpanel (black bezel) break apart. They both are connected using a thin double sided tape. I was planning to use in industrial environment but after such issue, I dropped my plan to use it in industrial environment.

Five of two displays are not in good condition. First display"s touch-panel and display LCD was break apart after two-three month. The second among five displays had another issue. Display LCD was mounted slightly right side of the touchpanel. Once you power-up display, it is easily be seen that LCD panel was a bit off-side. The other display"s screen guard having so many scratches on them which seems mishandling.

I got a couple of these for several RPi projects that Im developing and they are working amazingly well for the application. If these fit your application needs I wouldn"t hesitate to recommend them.

This screen worked right out of the box! Touch worked great with my new pi 3! However aside how fragile the (non functional) edges are, the only real issue I see is upon shutdown of the pi... The screen goes through a series of screen washes/whiteouts and never really shuts off.. I have to pull power to get it to turn off.. I"ve even tried usb/provided jumper wires.. And both results in the same thing. Not sure if this an issue per se, but it is bothersome.. I can just turn the unit off, I need to unplug it too..

I am using Raspberry Pi 3. The display came up with no problems. I am just waiting for the Smarti Pi Touch enclosure (pre-ordered after the Kickstarter project closed) before continuing to work with it.

The only question(s) that I have are regarding what sort of additional processor power is inside the screen, and whether powering it from the micro-usb connection whilst also bridged from the RPi3 is an issue (it hasn"t hurt anything, yet!).

I WAS DISAPOINTED THAT THE UNIT DISPLAYS EVERYTHING UPSIDE DOWN. I HAD TO USE THE LCD_ROTATE=2 COMMAND IN CONFIG.TXT TO FIX IT. THE INITIAL BOOT IS STILL UPSIDE DOWN BUT I GUESS AFTER IT READ THE CONFIG.TXT, IT FLIPS. SHOULDN"T IT COME STANDARD RIGHT SIDE UP?

The must annoying feature is the bright white screen when it loses signal as the OS shuts down. The touch input is inconsistent as input. I was using the I2C for a device was not able to get it going on the alternate I2C, but fortunately the required clock and data are on the DSI cable ... wasted hours finding that out. An OLED display, higher res, and lower current draw would be really nice in the next version.

I forgot to check that this LCD touchscreen don"t have a case. Much better that you have a notification (e.g. recommending the user to purchase also a case) when purchasing this kind of product. But thank you for this product, I will purchase again soon.

The only minor drawback that everyone should be aware (which is to be expected, honestly) is that the display draws quite a noticeable amount of current. The SmartiPi case comes with an splitter USB cable for the power source, but if you expect to use that, be prepared with a (very) beefy power supply, else you"ll get the thunder icon on the screen all the time and a very reduced performance (Just discovered that the RPi3 reduces its own clock when power is low).

I currently power this with a separate 1.5Amp supply for the screen and a 2Amp supply for the RPi3 and everything works just nice. This totals to a whopping 3.5A, which may be overkill, but keep that in mind as a reference.

I am impressed with this screen, I also got the mating case (SmartPi Touch) and it assembled nicely. With the separate case, the included jumpers and cable are not needed. The PCB was already attached with the standoffs. The packaging was super! The screen is slightly larger than 7 inches. I measured it as 7 5/8" wide X 4 3/8 high with a diagonal measurement of 8 9/16.

This official Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreens now come with the display controller already connected and mounted to the back of the display. You still need to be careful pulling forward the small black tab ends that connect a ribbon cable to the RPi.

I bought the companion enclosure as well. This Touchscreen works exactly as described. I am very pleased with the display. I ended up using a mouse anyway as the icons (while clear are very tiny) and selection areas are a bit small for fat fingers.

I connected it to a Raspberry Pi 3 B running Stretch and it seems to be working perfectly. I had been previously driving a VGA monitor from HDMI through an adapter. The RPI 7" screen started up just fine without changing or installing anything with the OS.

Based on other comments here and looking at one of these at a maker space, I bought the smartipi touch case for this; it"s strongly constructed and works great. Only issue was that I"m using this with a model 3 B+, and that takes a different door on the back than comes with the case (this is being fixed by the smartipi folks, but I don"t know the logistics of getting their new cases into Sparkfun)

I have tried other touch screens for the Raspberry Pi. They had complicated assembly and were very difficult to get them to work. This unit was easy to install and get working, is very nice looking. I am very Happy with it.

Right out of the box it worked. Didn"t even have to do anything to the RPi (in fact, both were taken out of the box at the same time, connected, and worked on the first power up). Screen quality is good for price. Also ordered the "SmartPi Touch" case which holds everything together very nicely.

Ordered it, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, and a power supply. (Had a mouse, keyboard, and uSD on hand.). It came a couple of days ago, and I put together yesterday. Had noticed in the documentation that there"s a micro USB power input, and a standard USB output. In the configuration where the power supply is plugged directly into the Pi and the LCD interface is powered via a USB cable plugged into one of the Pi"s USB ports to the LCD"s micro USB, the LCD won"t light up at all. When the power supply is plugged into the LCD controller board and the USB cable connects power to the Pi, I get "low voltage" warnings (yellow "lightning bold"). When I use the provided F/F jumpers, it works fine, but this will cause problems plugging in other "hats", as well as clearance problems. (In my application, separate power supplies would be a BIG PROBLEM.) BTW, I checked with two different USB cables, and got the same problems as well as when I tried an Adafruit 5.25V power supply. (I was about to try a second RPi3B+ when the original one stopped booting. Fortunately I had another that I"d been using as a "pass-around" sample at talks, and fortunately when I tried it, it still worked, so now the "dead" one will be passed around!) Also, it could prove really useful to know what size those mounting screws are in case they get lost! Ace Hardware recently opened a new store about half a mile from my house!

The screen is portable enough to take with you and the Pi will use it with no configuration change when it"s powered up. Used it to set up several Raspberry Pis in a remote lab. Touch screen is nice but bring along a keyboard if you have to do any setup work. One thing to make it better, replace the jumper wires with a ribbon cable connected to 1x5 and 2x2 pin headers.

I have a Raspberry Pi in each room of my home and they run a Kiosk interface for home automation, cameras and more. I"ve tried some cheaper ones and none have survived. (I"m hard on equipment) I haven"t managed to break one of these yet.

Got a PI3+, 7" touchscreen and SmartPI case for manufacture test. I put these together and booted the latest Raspbian. The LCD and touchscreen connect to the display connector using a short FPC cable. The display booted and the touch screen just worked out of the box. There were some nice but not well documented improvements. They provide a Y USB cable to power both the PI and the LCD. This is a cleaner solution than the jumper wires they provide.I"m not a big fan of using lego blocks in a industrial environment but the case went together easily and does a decent job of protecting the display and the PI. Some reported a inverted display issue but that seems to have been resolved.

A truly plug-and-play display for the Raspberry Pi. Does not steal any additional extension connector pins if you power it with a USB power supply and leaves the I2C1 interface available for other devices.

Big enough for somewhat squinting actual Raspberry PI development and computer work, but really shines for touch screen optimized large button control panels.

You can just install a Pi3 or 4 on the back, but with a 4 you really need some additional airflow. The SmartiPi Touch 2 enclosure works better. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16302

It works fine, no glitches, no problems, no hair pulling moments. Once electrically connected to my RPi 3B+ it"s good to go. I run it with the "lite" version of the Raspberry Pi OS with only xorg drivers installed, no full desktop or windows manager, as part of an in-the-field project with a HQ camera attached. My only complaint is the ribbon cable could stand to be about 6 inches longer.

It works great, the colors are beautiful, and finger touch works fine. What I like most is that the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins are all still available - except for one +5v pin and one Ground pin. Both are redundant (i.e. others are available). So, this is not an issue at all. I also like that data connects to the Pi via the IPS ribbon cable. Another thing I like is that power connects to the Pi via two jumper wires. The Pi is fussy about its power supply voltage. So, the jumper wires are better because they are heavier gouge than a small PCB trace.

I connect a Pi v4 and put the whole thing in the SmartPI Touch 2 case from Sparkfun and now it looks pretty professional. Make sure you use a good power supply.

Where is the documentation? This thing is so poorly documented it"s almost a joke. The whole point of the RPi ecosystem is to enable Makers and learning about electronics, so why isn"t this fully documented?

I used this to build a portable utility/testing device for my company. It works fantastic with the SmartiPi Touch Pro Case on Amazon. The touchscreen functions great, only thing is you can"t register mousedown and mouseup events in Chromium (only click). Other than that it"s great!

The Raspberry Pi 400 is a fantastic all-in-one (AIO) computer, squeezing the power of a Raspberry Pi 4 into a keyboard chassis. This portable setup is lacking in one area though: a screen. Thankfully, Waveshare stepped in this week to bridge that gap in the market with its Raspberry Pi400 Kit with a 7 or 13.3-inch IPSdisplay.

Both kits ship with the official Raspberry Pi 400 kit. The kit is worth $100 and includes the Raspberry Pi 400, mouse, MicroHDMI cable and power supply.

The bundled touchscreen display can handle five points (7-inch version) or 10 points (13.3-inch) of touch input and the 13.3-inch model features a built in speaker. The 7-inch display has a resolution of 1024 x 600, and the 13.3 inch is 1080p(1920 x 1080). Both displays have a glass cover and a kickstand for stability. The displays connect to the Raspberry Pi 400 via an HDMI to MicroHDMI lead and use a USB connection to enable touchscreen functionality and, in the case of the smaller model, to power the display. The larger display requires its own external power supply.

The Raspberry Pi 400 is a truly portable machine, and with Waveshare"s screen we move a step toward a product that encourages you to carry a Raspberry Pi in your bag to class, the office or the home. Now we just need a battery and some sort of AIO chassis.

Could this see a move to an official Raspberry Pi laptop in the near future? When the Raspberry Pi 400 was released, we asked this question to Eben Upton, Chief Executive of Raspberry Pi Trading, and his response was, "We don"t have any plans at present. Still lots of capabilities (technical and sourcing) that we"d need to grow as an organization before we could build something of that sort."

Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading, has offered some insights into the whereabouts of a Raspberry Pi 5, with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B having reached its third anniversary during the summer. Building on a blog post published last week, Upton outlines that 2023 will be a "recovery year" for Raspberry Pi, the details of which we have covered separately.

In short, supply levels should return to normal for all Raspberry Pi devices by the end of next year, albeit with price rises for the Pi Zero and Pi Zero W. With that in mind, Upton believes that it would be unwise to introduce a new product line at this time:...there"s merit, I think, in spending a year before we look at introducing anything...We"re going to be very ginger about how we look to move forward.

Ultimately, the reason behind delaying a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B comes down to Raspberry Pi Trading believing that it would be unable to meet demand. Upton adds that any new SBC would reduce its ability to restock existing models, effectively preventing a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B from being able to "ramp properly". For now, Raspberry Pi 4 generation devices will be the peak of the company"s product stack, although the supply of these SBCs are expected to fall short of demand until the start of Q4 2023.
