Runs on Raspbian or similar Linux distributions with SPI enabled. Uses 5V logic and draws under 200 mA from the GPIO power pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply align the female header on the display with the Pi’s GPIO pins and press gently. SPI lines (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, CE0) and touch‑controller signals are pre‑routed; no separate wiring needed. Always power off the Pi before connecting or disconnecting to avoid damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it uses the standard 40‑pin SPI interface present on Pi 5. Enable SPI via raspi‑config and install the provided drivers; operation is identical to earlier models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the touch function need extra setup?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quick calibration script is required on first boot. We supply the script and step‑by‑step instructions – the resistive touch will work across the full screen afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use HDMI and this display at the same time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. Because this screen communicates over SPI, the HDMI output remains active, allowing you to run dual displays for multi‑screen applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
