Raspberry Pi, it is the cutest little display that you can stack on your Raspberry Pi 2. It features a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive 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!
Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) and GPIO #25 and #24. All other GPIO are unused. Since we had a tiny bit of space, there are 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.
It comes fully assembled and ready to plug into your Pi! No more soldering is required.
Adafruit has created a custom kernel package based on off Notro's awesome framebuffer work, so you can install it over your existing Raspbian (or derivative) images in just a few commands. This
tutorial shows you how to install the software, as well as calibrate the touchscreen, show videos, display images such as from your PiCam, and more!
