How neat is this little display module for the Raspberry Pi Pico?! The clever folks at Waveshare have managed to cram a 1.3″ IPS LCD, four buttons and a mini joystick all on to a Raspberry Pi Pico-sized HAT!

Great for all sorts of different projects or even just as something to learn to code with, the display offers bright 65K RGB colours and is controlled via SPI – keeping more of your precious GPIO pins free for the rest of your project.

The online resources provide code examples in C/C++ to help you get started – just slot your Pico into the pre-soldered female hears and you’re ready to code!

We also have our own set of tutorials teaching you how to use these displays with MicroPython:

• Colour Control
• Coding Graphics
• Advanced Text/Fonts

Note: Raspberry Pi Pico not included. You’ll need a Pico with male headers soldered to it. You can grab a Pico here and Pico male headers here, or buy a Pico with pre-soldered headers.
