Adafruit PiTFT Plus 320x240 2.8" TFT Touch Assembled

Isn't this the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi? It features a 2.8-inch display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a capacitive touch overlay. That's right, instead of a resistive touchscreen that requires a fingernail or stylus, you can now use your fingertip. The screen looks much nicer, with a black frame and glass cover.

This updated design fits perfectly on the Pi Model A+, B+, or Pi 2! It works exactly like the version for Model B, but now conforms to the shape of the Raspberry Pi 2 and Model B+. It also has all 40 GPIO pins exposed, so you can connect a 40-pin GPIO cable underneath.

The display and touchscreen use the hardware I2C pins (SDA & SCL), SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0), as well as GPIO #25 and #24. All other GPIOs are unused, and you can still share the I2C pins with sensors, LED drivers, etc. Since we had a little extra space, there are 4 spots for optional slim tactile switches, wired to four GPIOs that you can use if you want to create a simple user interface. For example, one can be used as a power switch.

Use it for console access or let X11 simply appear on the PiTFT as a mini-monitor, although it is quite small at 320x240. Instead, we recommend using PyGame or other SDL drawing programs to write to the framebuffer.
