This 2.8″ IPS resistive touchscreen display has been designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Pico and offers a 320×240 resolution with 262K colours and dedicated microSD storage!

The display has dedicated female headers for the Raspberry Pi Pico on the rear, removing any need for connecting wires or ribbon cables. Just slot your Pico in (male headers required) and start coding the display. The MicroSD card slot also allows you to store images for your project too.

The backlight is programmable to assist with the right brightness setting for your environment as well as reducing power consumption. There’s also a handy Pico reset button on the rear of the display.

Use the C/C++ examples in the product Wiki to get your Pico display project up and running quickly. There’s also a community tutorial from Mark McGookin using this board with CircuitPython.

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.

This is a resistive display, not capacitive!
