Power:
- Operating Voltage: 5V DC.
- Current Consumption: low, around 100-200mA, but varies by display and backlight usage.
Input and Output:
- Input: Receives display data from the Raspberry Pi via GPIO or SPI interface.
- Output: Displays graphics, text, and touchscreen input (if applicable).
Physical Characteristics:
- Dimensions: Approximately 80mm x 60mm.
- Mounting: Can be mounted directly onto the Raspberry Pi or placed in an enclosure.
- Connector Type: Usually includes a ribbon cable or direct pin header.
Technical Specifications:
- Display Technology: TFT-LCD for bright and vibrant colors.
- Controller: Often uses controllers like ILI9486 or similar.
- Backlight: LED backlight for enhanced visibility.
Additional Features:
- Touchscreen Functionality: Some models feature capacitive or resistive touch for interactive applications.
- Driver Support: Compatible with Raspberry Pi operating systems, often with dedicated libraries for ease of use.
How to Use:
- Connect the Power: Attach the display’s power pins to a 5V power source. Ensure the connections are secure to avoid any power issues.
- Wire the Data Pins:
- For SPI displays, connect the SDI (MOSI), SCK (SCK), CS (Chip Select), and DC (Data/Command) pins to the corresponding GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi.
- If the display uses GPIO for control, connect the appropriate pins as specified in the display’s documentation.
- Connect Touchscreen Pins (if available):
- Wire the touchscreen pins (T_IRQ, T_DO, T_DIN, T_CS, T_CLK) to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins. This step is only needed if you plan to use the touchscreen feature.
- Install Drivers: Install any necessary drivers or libraries for the display on your Raspberry Pi. This can often be done via the terminal with specific commands or by downloading and installing from the display’s manufacturer.
- Configure the Display: Set up the display configuration in your Raspberry Pi’s settings or code, ensuring it correctly interfaces with your operating system.
- Test the Display: Run a test script or example program to ensure the display is functioning correctly. Verify that the touchscreen (if applicable) is responsive and the display shows the expected output.
This 3.5-inch display is a useful addition to any Raspberry Pi project, offering a compact and interactive way to view and control data.
