It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a capacitive touch overlay. That's right... ## Pricing - **Price:** $89.15 (inc GST) — $81.05 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $78.62 (exc GST) · 50+ $76.99 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA2423:1` (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/ADA2423:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Is this not the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a capacitive touch overlay. 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.[ If you don't need a capacitive touchscreen, check out the resistive touch version.](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-plus-320x240-2-8-tft-resistive-touchscreen-pi-2-and-model-a-b.html) **This updated design fits perfectly onto the Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 2 or Model A+, B+!** (Any Pi with a 2x20 connector) **Not for use with an old Pi 1 with 2x13 connector** If you'd like to use a 2.8" display with the original Pi A or Pi B, [check out the Model B version](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-mini-kit-320x240-2-8-tft-capacitive-touchscreen.html). This version also has all 40 pins GPIO pins brought out so you can connect a 40-pin GPIO cable underneath. [Now that it's the same outline as a Pi 3/2/B+ it fits well on top of a Pi in Adafruit's Raspberry Pi Enclosure base](https://core-electronics.com.au/pi-model-b-case-base-various-colors.html) and can [use Adafruit's faceplate for a compact touchscreen Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/faceplate-and-buttons-pack-for-2-8-pitfts-raspberry-pi-b-pi-2.html) The display and touchscreen uses the hardware I2C Pins (SDA & SCL), SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. All other GPIO are unused and you can still share the I2C pins with sensors, LED drivers, etc. Since Adafruit had a tiny bit of space, there's 4 slim tactile switches wired to four GPIOs, that you can use if you want to make a basic user interface. For example, you can use one as a power on/off button. Use it for console access or easily pop up X11 onto the PiTFT for a mini monitor, although its rather small at 320x240. Instead, Adafruit recommend using PyGame or other SDL-drawing programs to write onto the frame buffer. **Raspberry Pi computer and enclosure not included!** As of July 22nd, 2015 this display comes fully assembled with tactile switches too [Check out Adafruit's detailed tutorial on how to play videos, display images, and otherwise customize your PiTFT.](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8-pitft-capacitive-touch) ## Technical Details - Screen Dimensions: 50mm x 69mm x 4mm / 2" x 2.7" x 0.16" - PCB Dimensions: 56mm x 85mm x 11mm / 2.2" x 3.3" x 0.4" - Weight: 47g [Datasheets, EagleCAD PCB files, Fritzing object and more in the tutorial!](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8-pitft-capacitive-touch/downloads) ## Videos for this product - [How to use LCD Displays with Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/how-to-use-lcd-displays-with-raspberry-pi) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/2/4/2423-14.jpg)
