Description
The 5-inch Touch Screen for Raspberry Pi is the ideal solution for makers who need a compact, high-quality display without the bulk of a desktop monitor. Whether you are building a retro gaming console, a portable dashboard, or a 3D printer controller, this screen offers the perfect balance of size and functionality. At Faranux Electronics, we provide this essential accessory to help you take your projects off the workbench and into the real world.
Easy Setup
Getting started is straightforward. While the video works instantly via HDMI, enabling the touch functionality requires installing a simple driver on your Raspberry Pi OS. We provide a guide to help you calibrate the resistive touch panel so you can tap icons and navigate menus with precision using the included stylus.
Energy Efficient
This screen is designed for portable projects. It features a physical “Backlight On/Off” switch on the back. If you are running your project on batteries, you can instantly turn off the screen to save power without shutting down the system.
