The cute PiTFT got even more adorable with this little primary display for Raspberry Pi in HAT form! It features a 2.2" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels. The HAT 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 of your Model A+ or B+ and fits into our case quite nicely.

It's designed to plug directly onto the Raspberry Pi 2 or Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ or B+ . While not specifically designed for Pi Model A or B,you can use it with A/B if you solder in an extra-tall 2x13 header (not included) instead of the included 2x20 header.

This design uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25. All other GPIO are unused and are available on a 25-pin long breakout line. Since we had a tiny bit of space, there's 4 flat 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.

Comes as a fully assembled display PCB and an additional 2x20 GPIO header. Some light soldering is required to attach the 2x20 GPIO header to the HAT but it's fast and easy for anyone with a soldering iron and solder. You can also swap the plain female header we have with a 'stacky' type that lets you plug in a hat or GPIO cable on top or a slim ultra-low-profile header.

Technical Details

• Board Dimensions: 65mm x 57mm x 6mm / 2.6" x 2.2" x 0.2"
• Screen Dimensions: 55mm x 40mm / 2.2" x 1.6"

Tutorials

To make it super easy for use: 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. Their tutorial series shows you how to install the software, play small videos, or display images such as from your PiCam and more!

What's going to protect your beloved Raspberry Pi from an onslaught of rainbow-coloured fusion? That's right, it's Unicorn HAT.

Sporting a matrix of 64 (8 x 8) RGB LEDs and powered directly from the Pi, this is the most compact pocket aurora available.

Unicorn HAT provides a wash of controllable colour that is ideal for mood-lighting, 8x8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting colour into your surroundings.

The MagPi said that Unicorn HAT was "one of the coolest HATs around"

Features

• 64 RGB LEDs (WS2812B)
• LED data driven via DMA over PWM
• Unicorn HAT pinout
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
• Python library
• Comes fully assembled

Software

We've put together a Unicorn HAT Python library to make it a breeze to use, including lots of beautiful examples of what it can do.

Notes

• Warning: WS2812 LEDs are bright enough to cause eye pain, do not look at them directly when brightly lit. We recommend the use of a diffuser.
• Photo-sensitivity warning: flashing, strobing, and patterns of lights may cause epileptic seizures. Always take care and immediately stop using if you feel unwell (dizziness, nausea, affected vision, eye twitching, disorientation).
• Power: Unicorn HAT requires a >2A microUSB power supply for your Pi. We recommend the official Raspberry Pi power supply.
• Compatibility (audio): as Unicorn HAT uses PWM and GPIO18, it will interfere with analogue audio playback (random colour patterns and flickering). HDMI should work just fine!

Description:

The  Gert VGA 666 (6 bits per colour channel, hence 666) is a  breakout/add-on board for the Raspberry Pi Model B+ (will not work with  Model A/B as the additional GPIO pins on the Model B+ are required). It  is an open source hardware design recently released publicly by Gert van  Loo who was one of the hardware engineers that was instrumental in the  initial design of the original Raspberry Pi (also one of the chip  architects on the BCM2835 chip at the heart of the Raspberry Pi) and  someone that many of you may have spoken to at Raspberry Jams or on the  Raspberry Pi forums. It is a neat and very useful solution for using a  VGA screen/monitor with your Raspberry Pi and is far cheaper than an  HDMI to VGA adapter or similar. The VGA connection is driven natively in  hardware over the GPIO pins (using a parallel interface) and uses  around the same CPU load as the HDMI connection on board. It is capable  of displaying 1080p60 VGA video with no CPU load. It is also possible to  drive this interface at the same time as the HDMI connection, so a dual  screen setup is also possible. This add-on was not possible on the  Model A and B pis, because not all of the required pins had been brought  out to the GPIO header. Yet another awesome upgrade that the Model B+ has allowed for!

Please note: this add-on on board uses all but 6 of the GPIO pins on the Model B+ Raspberry Pi so it may not be possible to use  other add on boards at the same time as the VGA adapter. Why a kit? We love electronics kits for a multitude of reasons - they are fun to  put together, you get a sense of achievement at the end of it, they are  great for learning about soldering and electronics and many many more  reasons... At Pi Supply we are quite keen on the whole education and fun  aspect of the Raspberry Pi and computing and electronics in general, so  we feel that a kit is much more worthwhile to all of our backers.  However, you don't need to be a soldering god or an electronics pro to  put our kits together - Gert has made this simple enough even for  absolute beginners to put together. The images in this project show  surface mount resistors, however, for the purposes of the kit we will be  supplying all through hole components. There was also a concern about  EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations which could cause a  problem if made as a fully assembled board. This regulation does not  cover home made electronics and so a kit makes more sense for this  reason as well.

Specifications:

• Uses all but 6 of the  GPIO pins on the Model B+ Raspberry Pi
• 6 bits per colour channel, hence 666
• Will not work with Raspberry Pi 1 Model A/B
• Open source hardware design
• BCM2835 chip
• VGA Connector

Contents:

• 1 x Gert VGA 666 PCB
• 1 x 40 pin GPIO header connector
• 1 x 15 pin female VGA connector
• 20 x through hole resistors (2*120 Ohm, 3*499 ohm, 3*1kOhm, 3*2kOhm, 3*4kOhm, 3*8kOhm, 3*16kOhm)
• 2 x Pi Supply Stickers

Adafruit's best-selling PiTFT just got a fancy upgrade, now we have a version with a capacitive touchscreen! 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.

Featuring a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a single-touch capacitive 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!

It's designed to fit nicely onto the Pi Model A or B rev 2 but also works perfectly fine with the Model B+ as long as you don't mind the PCB overhangs the USB ports by 5mm, see the photos above. Model B rev 1 have an older layout for the I2C pins and won't be able to use the touch screen

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 we had a tiny bit of space, there's 4 spots for optional 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. See below for the link to get the optional tact switches, they're not included.

The screen is the same size as the resistive type so you can use this with the PiTFT PiBow or any other enclosure you may already have. We also use the same SDL device and signals so PyGame and X11 based programs can be swapped in with no changes in code.

This version comes as a mini-kit, with a 2x13 extra-tall female header (to connect the plate to the Pi) and a 2x13 male header that can be used to connect an IDC cable or cobbler from the side. The photos above also show the optional installed slim tactile buttons. The tactile buttons are not included. Some basic soldering is required to install the headers. You can also pick up an extra-long Pi stacking header if you want to install that instead of the 2x13 female header installed.

Technical Details

• Display current draw is mostly based on the backlight, with full-on backlight the current draw is ~100mA.
• Screen Dimensions: 50mm x 69mm x 4mm / 2" x 2.7" x 0.16"
• PCB Dimensions: 56mm x 85mm x 2mm / 2.2" x 3.4" x 0.08"

FAQ

Why the LCD doesn't work with my Raspbian?

To use the LCD with the Raspberry Pi official image, driver should be installed first. Please refer to the user manual.
However, for the first testing, you may want to use our provided image directly.

Why the LCD still doesn't work with the Waveshare provided image?

Make sure the hardware connection is correct and connects fine.
Make sure the image in TF card is burnt correctly.
The PWR will keep on and the ACT will keep blinking when the Raspberry Pi starts up successfully, in case both of the two LEDs keep on, it is possible that the image was burnt incorrectly OR the TF card was in bad contact.

Which power supply should I use?

It is recommended to use a 5V/3A power adapter for the Raspberry Pi other than USB connection, otherwise the Pi may failed to start up because the PC's USB port might have not enough power.
For large size LCDs, say, 10inch diagonal or more, another stand-alone power adapter is also required to provide power to the LCD.

For more info, please check the wiki page.

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.

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. This version also has all 40 pins GPIO pins brought out so you can connect a 40-pin GPIO cable underneath.

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 we 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, we 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
