3.5 inch raspberry pi screen

Albeit a little small, this screen does it's job and is super easy to install (Although if you want to use it with a Pi 0 non-w version, then things might get complicated). Additionally, there is a website (lcdwiki.com) available that contains lots of information and detailed guide on how to get this display to work in a variety of conditions (Various OSes, different pis, even has prebuilt images) that I found super helpful. Will definitely consider buying this screen again for future portable projects

This is a nifty little touch screen. The stylus makes me think of the original Nintendo DS or a Palm Pilot. The installation scripts are straight-forward and easy to run. I tried Mate desktop and it seemed to work fairly good. The touch input is best with the stylus. I started writing my own touchscreen programs in Python, using the TKinter library. My laptop also has a touch screen, so I can prototype scripts by setting the resolution accordingly (PORTRAIT == 320x480 or LANDSCAPE==480x320). Then I git pull the script to my pi and it works fairly well. I do notice that sometimes it will abruptly shutdown, my guess is it's getting warm, there are 2 pins on the back of the screen for a fan. I need to look into a case that will accommodate both the screen, and it's 90 degree fan pins. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the screen doesn't fully take up all of the GPIO pins. Out of the 40, 14 remain (the last 7 rows on the left, if you're facing the Pi's GPIO pins. That's pins 27 - 40 that you'll still have available for use. Those are the following: 27: SDA0 28: SLC0 29: GPIO5 30: GND 31: GPIO6 32: GPIO12 33: GPIO13 34: GND 35: GPIO19 36: GPIO16 37: GPIO26 38: GPIO20 39: GND 40: GPIO21

I followed all the steps and it worked great, then I would update my Pi0w and it would stop working, turns out the most recent build (as of a month or two ago) would stop the screen from working and I would have to do all my work to try and fix it through SSH. I would hold off on using "sudo apt update" on a fresh Pi project if you're using this screen. Hopefully this information is out of date and everything is working, but I spent three days trying to get mine to work for it to be the updates that was making the screen go black. It's a great little screen for what I needed it for, which was a little portable word processor for my wife.

Have spent days on end trying without success to get this display working with Octopi and OctoPrint-TFT. I have installed their drivers. I have installed OctoPrint-TFT in distro form, and also tried in source, compiling my own. No matter what, no matter how many different ways I try, I just cannot get this POS to work. I've even gone back to regular old Raspian Stretch and tried installing their drivers, but, nope, it does not work.

No instructions on how to have the Rasperry Pi gpio and external hdmi output at the same time even though they show it in their Amazon advertisement?

Wasted many hours to update Raspbian image and install drivers. Did not work. After checking from Kumon website realized that drivers are available at different github link of 'goodtft'. The instruction with product suggest 'Lcdwiki'. As soon as got the correct drivers the LCD worked fine with Raspbian in first try. Bad user pamphlet!!!!

Using this on my raspberry pi and the setup was straightforward! We're all very used to super displays in our phones so a couple of things I'd like to call out: It's resistive touch, so you need a bit more force for touches to register, this is expected. The viewing angles are not the best, but good enough. I'm using it with octopi for a 3d-printer and it works great for that!

I bought this screen for a specific art project and it does exactly what I need it to do. It was easy to install, it has reasonably good color and it's the right size for what I need. I tested the touchscreen briefly because I was interested (I'm not going to use the touch functionality in my project) and it worked as expected. At 480x320, the screen is not very high resolution, but at this size, it's fairly pixel-dense. Even with the instructions clearly being written by a non-native English speaker, the installation was easy enough and went without a hitch for me. Conclusion: If you have a need for a small, easy to use touch screen for your Raspberry Pi project, this is a good choice.

No issues that I can see off the bat. Plugged in, installed necessary components, and its up and running smoothly. Full touch at a size that's usable. Seems to be built well - but we'll see. Tl;dr - works with pi 4B, easy to set up, and no complaints.

Did not come with anything but this screen...dont know what to do with it...returning it
