Description
The ADAFRUIT PiTFT Plus is a 2.8-inch, 320 × 240 colour display with a capacitive touch overlay for Raspberry Pi projects. Capacitive touch responds to a fingertip, making it a convenient small interface for dashboards, controls and portable builds.
It fits Raspberry Pi models with a 40-pin GPIO connector, including Pi 4, Pi Zero, Pi 3, Pi 2, A+ and B+. The 40 GPIO pins are brought out for expansion, and four pre-installed tactile switches can be assigned to common interface functions. A Raspberry Pi computer and enclosure are not included. EcoRobotics stocks a RASPBERRY PI Zero Wireless with a soldered 40-pin header that meets the connector requirement.
