Build a fanless, metal-cased touchscreen controller around your own Raspberry Pi 5 or 4, ready for a VESA arm or cabinet panel.
Available with a lead time
Expect dispatch between Nov 05 and Nov 12
Turn your own Raspberry Pi 5 or Pi 4 into a 10.1-inch touchscreen control panel, housed in a fanless aluminium enclosure built for a workshop wall, a desk or a machine cabinet.
The optically bonded IPS panel sits behind 6H toughened glass, giving a clear, low-reflection 1280 × 800 picture with 10-point capacitive touch. The display runs from the Pi's DSI port, and two standard HDMI ports add dual 4K output for extra monitors. Every Pi port is reachable through the enclosure, and the metal case cools the Pi passively, so there's no fan to fail or make noise.
You get the display and accessories only; bring your own Raspberry Pi 5 or Pi 4, a 5V power supply (3A minimum, 5A standard) and a microSD card. Separate Pi 5 and Pi 4 accessory packs are included, so either board fits properly.
Clear, low-glare picture: optical bonding between the glass and the IPS panel reduces reflection and keeps dust out, with a 178° viewing angle.
Responsive multi-touch: up to 10-point capacitive touch (depending on the operating system) through hard-wearing 6H toughened glass.
Silent, fanless operation: the aluminium alloy enclosure dissipates heat passively, helped by the included heatsink and thermal pad.
Built-in 5MP front camera: connects to the Pi's camera connector with the included cable, with no separate camera module to mount.
Full access to your Pi's I/O: 2x HDMI, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, the microSD slot, a power button and a debug serial port, all reachable from outside the case.
Two ways to power it: USB Type-C, or a 5V screw terminal (3.81mm pitch) for wiring into a cabinet or panel supply.
Mount it your way: VESA mounting support (monitor arm not included), or panel-mount it into a cabinet cut-out using the four mounting buckles.
Driver-free on Bookworm: native DSI support at up to 60Hz, with backlight brightness adjustable in software.
