RS Components announced the availability of two touchscreen display starter kits for the Raspberry Pi, which provide a quick and easy wiring interface and are ideal for creating portable and low-power Raspberry Pi projects and applications.
The starter kits for the 2,8” uLCD-28PTU-PI and 4,3” uLCD-43PTU-PI modules have been developed by 4D Systems and provide all the components needed for users to connect their Pi to these newly available touchscreen displays and get their projects up and running and ready for programming within a few minutes. These displays feature resistive-touch capability, onboard audio amplifier and speaker, and resolutions of 480 x 272 pixels for the 4,3” and 240 x 320 pixels for the 2,8”.
A unique aspect of the kits is the 4D Pi Adapter Shield, which connects to the serial GPIO port on the Raspberry Pi and to the touchscreen display module via a 5-way cable. The Adapter Shield also replicates the Raspberry Pi GPIO lines and allows users to gain easy access to other Raspberry Pi functions.
Each kit contains a 4D serial Pi Adapter Shield; a 2 GB microSD card; a uUSB-PA5 programming adaptor; a 150 mm 5-way female-female jumper cable for quick connection to another device or a breadboard; a 5-way male-male adaptor to convert the cable to male-female; and a quick-start user guide. A series of ViSi-Genie application software libraries are also available to communicate with the Pi and user code.
