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/ADA2441:1.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 **3.5" display with 480x320** 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay [just like Adafruit's popular original](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-assembled-480x320-3-5-tft-touchscreen-for-raspberry-pi.html), but this one is engineered specifically to work with the newer "2x20 connector" Raspberry Pi's. 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! **This PiTFT 3.5" is designed to fit nicely onto the Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi 4, 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 3.5" display with the original Pi A or Pi B, check out this version](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-assembled-480x320-3-5-tft-touchscreen-for-raspberry-pi.html) The display uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24. GPIO #18 can be used to PWM dim the backlight if you like. All other GPIO are unused. There's a 2x16 'classic Pi' connection GPIO header on the bottom, you can connect a 26-pin Pi GPIO cable to it to use any of the other pins as you like. The other GPIO are broken out into solder pads at the bottom, in case you want to use more of the GPIO. Best of all, it comes fully assembled and ready to plug into your Pi! You can use this as a display for running the X interface, or pygame. You can also have an HDMI display seperately connected. There's four mounting ears that can be used to attach the display & Pi to a bezel, or snap them off with pliers (they're perforated) for a slick exactly-the-same-size-as-a-Pi look. [Adafruit have created a custom kernel package based of off Notro's awesome framebuffer work, so you can install it over your existing Raspbian (or derivative) images in just a few commands. Adafruit's tutorial shows you how to install the software, as well as calibrate the touchscreen, display images such as from your PiCam and more!](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-3-dot-5-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi) ## Technical Details - Display current draw is mostly based on the backlight, with full-on backlight the current draw is ~100mA - [Datasheets, schematic, GitHub PCB files, and the latest kernel fork available in the product tutorial](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitft-3-dot-5-touch-screen-for-raspberry-pi/downloads) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/2/4/2441-10.jpg)
