## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PIM580:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PIM580:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

A spacious 2.0" (320 x 240) IPS LCD display for Raspberry Pi Pico, with four buttons, an RGB LED and plenty of room for your Pico projects!

This **18-bit capable 320x240 pixel IPS display** adheres majestically to the back of your Pico, and has lush colours and great viewing angles. Just like their smaller [Display Pack](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-pico-display-pack.html), Pimoroni has surrounded it with **four tactile buttons** so you can use your human fingers (or other non-human appendages) to interface with your Pico. There's also an **RGB LED** that you can use as an indicator, for notifications or just for adding extra rainbows.

Pico Display 2.0 lets you turn a Pico into a user interface device for a bigger project, capable of giving instructions, displaying readouts and even incorporating elaborate nested menus. If you'd rather use your Pico as a standalone device you could fill up all that prime screen real estate with digitally generated, Mandelbrot-esque art, beautiful graphs or readouts from lots of sensors. You could even make a device for getting folks to [share their secrets via Telnet](https://www.hackster.io/news/phil-howard-s-pico-listens-for-telnet-connections-giving-you-a-direct-line-to-leave-him-a-message-a27733892d4c)!

A **Raspberry Pi Pico is not included** - [Here's the product page](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico.html) if you'd like to buy one!

**Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it** (with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.

**Features**

- 2.0” 320x240 pixel IPS LCD screen (~220 PPI, 65K colours)
- 4 x tactile buttons
- RGB LED
- Pre-soldered female headers for attaching to Pico
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico.
- Fully assembled
- No soldering required (as long as your Pico has header pins attached).
- Dimensions: approx 56mm x 35mm x 11mm (L x W x H, includes display)
- Screen usable area: 40.8mm x 30.6mm (L x W)
- [C/C++ and MicroPython libraries](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico)
- [Schematic](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0174/1800/files/pico_display_2_schematic.pdf?v=1633597344)
 
**Getting started**

The labels on the underside of Pico Display will show you which way round to plug it into your Pico - just match up the USB port with the markings on the board.

The easiest way to get started is by downloading and copying Pimoroni's [custom MicroPython uf2](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/) to your Pico, it includes all the libraries you'll need to use Pimoroni's add-ons. [Here's Pimoroni's excellent tutorial.](https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/hel/getting-started-with-pico)

You can find [C examples](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/examples/pico_display_2) and [MicroPython examples](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/pico_display) for the Display Pack - and you can also use it with CircuitPython!

**Notes**

- This screen is a wee bit taller than the surrounding buttons, so it's worth taking care when pressing the buttons that you're not also pressing down on the screen, particularly at the edge with the ribbon cable. Careful pressing with fingertips rather than full on thumb mashing is the way forward!
- Even though it's bigger than our other Pico Packs, Display 2.0 will still work with [Pico Omnibus](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-pico-omnibus-dual-expander.html) or [Pico Decker](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-pico-decker-quad-expander.html), if you want to use more than one Pico Pack at once. Please note that if you plug Display 2.0 into a Pico Decker, it will overhang the addon slot next to it.
 
**About Raspberry Pi Pico**

[Raspberry Pi Pico](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico.html) is a flexible, low-cost **microcontroller development board** from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for use in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices, and inventions - we're so excited to see what you make with it!

Pimoroni has called our Pico-sized add-ons **packs**, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish back pack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). Pimoroni has also got Pico **bases** (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - [Here's a link to view them all!](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=pico)
