I’m mostly finished a modification of the adafruit part to convert it to this. I’m done for tonite and busy tomorrow but a part should be along soon (only pcb and the fzp file to finish). I found board dimensions (if not hole nor header placement which are just guesses) on ebay so it won’t be quite correct unless you can measure the placement of the holes and the pins with calipers but it should do the job. The adafruit part looks to be the alternate layout for this same display (only 10 pins in…

Our best-selling PiTFT 2.8" display just got a fancy upgrade, now we have a version with a capacitive touchscreen! That"s right, instead of a resistive touchscreen, which requires a fingernail or stylus, you can now use a fingerpad. The screen looks much nicer, with a black bezel and glass overlay.

Featuring a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a single-touch capacitive 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!

The screen is the same size as the resistive type so you can use this with the PiTFT PiBow or any other enclosure you may already have. We also use the same SDL device and signals so PyGame and X11 based programs can be swapped in with no changes in code.

Any actual image editing has to be done outside of Fritzing. With my background, I used an xml aware text editor for most of it. Both svg and the fzp are xml based. I used inkscape on the images only to open then save as to get some general cleanup. I used zip to package the collection of files into a .fzpz part file. I did not even open the parts editor.

There are multiple series of tutorials on the parts creation and editing process, and the tools used for it. Of varying quality, accuracy, completeness, and relevance to the current version of Fritzing.

These are nice displays but slow with graphics on an UNO, they recommend only text with the UNO boards due to memory. I tested the graphics on the UNO (Official) and the Elegoo variant UNO boards, both function the same.

And here’s what we designed! The BrainCraft HAT has a 240×240 TFT IPS display for inference output, slots for a camera connector cable for imaging projects, a 5 way joystick and button for UI input, left and right microphones, stereo headphone out, a stereo 1 Watt speaker out, three RGB DotStar LEDs, two 3 pin STEMMA connectors on PWM pins so they can drive NeoPixels or servos, and Grove/STEMMA/Qwiic I2C port. This will let people build a wide range of audio/video AI projects while also allowing easy plug-in of sensors and robotics!

MOSI, SCK, GPIO #25, CE0 - These are the display control pins. Note that MISO is not connected even though it is a SPI pin because you cannot read back from the display

SCL, SDA - I2C data for the STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector. Not used by buttons or display. Can also use with Grove sensors with an adapter cable. Great for quickly adding sensors or accessories with plug-and-play.

There"s two ways you can use the 1.54" 240x240 display on the BrainCraft HAT. For machine learning purposes, the advanced method is the way to go, so that"s what we"ll be covering in this guide.

The easy way is to use "pure Python 3" and Pillow library to draw to the display from within Python. This is great for showing text, stats, images etc that you design yourself. If you want to do that, the BrainCraft HAT has a pretty close layout to the Adafruit 1.3" Color TFT Bonnet including the same type of display and a joystick, though the pinouts are slightly different. If you choose this option, You can skip this page and view the Python Setup page for instruction for that display.

The advanced way is to install a kernel module to add support for the TFT display that will make the console appear on the display. This is cute because you can have any program print text or draw to the framebuffer (or, say, with pygame) and Linux will take care of displaying it for you. If you don"t need the console or direct framebuffer access, please consider using the "pure Python" technique instead as it is not as delicate.

Besides the display, audio, and fan, this board has quite a few other useful features on it that can be controlled through Python. We"ll go through those and how to control them in Python.

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available!

The 1.44" display has 128x128 color pixels. Unlike the low cost "Nokia 6110" and similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type and thus have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 16-bit color using our library code.

The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as a ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and a 3/5V level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. We also had a little space so we placed a microSD card holder so you can easily load full color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card. The microSD card is not included.
