Description
This ADAFRUIT 7-inch resistive touchscreen overlay adds single-touch input to a compatible TFT or LCD panel. It measures 165 × 105 mm overall and has an active inner area of approximately 151 × 91 mm, so the dimensions should be checked against the display before ordering.
The overlay requires a separate resistive-touch controller. Pair it with a suitable controller such as the ADAFRUIT AR1100 for a USB mouse-style interface, or use a compatible SPI controller such as the ADAFRUIT TSC2046 for an embedded microcontroller project.
Why you’ll love it
- Add touch to a compatible display: Places a resistive sensing layer over an existing 7-inch-class screen.
- Works with a stylus or finger: Resistive touch responds to pressure rather than capacitive contact.
- Useful for custom interfaces: Suitable for kiosks, control panels, Raspberry Pi projects and embedded displays.
- Multiple controller options: Use a USB controller or a suitable microcontroller interface.
- Dimensions are clearly defined: The outer and active-area measurements make fit checking easier.
- ADAFRUIT setup guidance: The linked AR1100 and TSC2046 guides explain two practical ways to connect and test the overlay.
