Two new touchscreen display starter kits are available for the Raspberry Pi, to provide a quick and easy wiring interface for creating portable and low-power Raspberry Pi projects and applications.
The kits were developed by 4D Systems for its 2,8” μLCD-28PTU-PI and 4,3” μLCD-43PTU-PI modules, and provide all the components needed for users to connect Raspberry Pi to display in a short time. A unique aspect of the kits is the 4D Pi Adaptor Shield, which connects to the serial GPIO port on the Raspberry Pi and to the touchscreen display module via a 5-way cable. The shield also replicates the Raspberry Pi GPIO lines and allows users to gain easy access to other Raspberry Pi functions.
These displays deliver a powerful HMI (Human Machine Interface) solution for Raspberry Pi applications featuring resistive-touch capability, onboard audio amplifier and speaker, and resolutions of 480 x 272 and 240 x 320 pixels for the 4,3” and 2,8” screens, respectively.
In addition to containing everything a user needs to get started, the starter kits are supported by a series of ViSi-Genie application software libraries to communicate with the Raspberry Pi board and user code.
