Introduction
This monitor is specially designed for Raspberry Pi. You're recommended to download and install the image we provide. It is written based on the Raspbian Jessie 2016-9-23 version and we've pre-installed the driver and pre-set the calibration program. So you can just burn it on your card for use. If you want to change the calibration, you can just find the program and alter it.
Download the image at the bottom of the page, unzip the package downloaded and you'll see an .img file. Burn it to your TF card by win32imager.
Next, connect the monitor to the Raspberry Pi, and the HDMI board. Plug in the TF card with the image file burnt. Connect the power and you can start the use.
Features
- Supports a resolution of 320x240; 2.4 inch screen nearly fully covers the HAT expansion board, providing maximum display area with portability.
- Works with Raspberry Pi B +, Pi2 and Pi3.
- Size: 65mm × 56.5mm, fits with a Raspberry Pi HAT board.
- Powered by Raspberry Pi, no need for external power source.
- Backlight can be controlled by soldering its BL jump on the top
How It Works
Image Burning
a. Download the image we provide (2.4-inch-LCD-2016-09-23-raspbian-jessie) and unzip it, burn the .img file to the TF card through win32 Disk Imager.
b. Next, configure the network. Open file wpa_supplicant.conf, input the ID and password in the red frame of ssid =“name”, psk =“password” as shown below. Then save the file and copy it to the /boot directory in TF card.
c. Enable remote login to the Raspberry Pi. Create a file ssh (no suffix), leave the content empty.
d. Insert the TF card and the display to the RPi, and power it on, the graphic UI will be shown automatically on the screen.
Script Installation (Driver)
For users who want to use their own OS, you can just install the script pitft_setup to make 2.4 inch display work.
