Compatibility
This display works with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a DSI connector, including Pi 3B+, Pi 4, and Pi 5. It uses the standard 15-pin ribbon cable supplied in the box. The touch interface is recognized automatically by Raspbian OS and requires no extra drivers. For Raspberry Pi Zero, an adapter cable (sold separately) is needed.
Wiring Notes
Connect the flat flex cable to the DSI port with the blue side facing the Ethernet port. Use the included jumper wires to power the display from the Pi's 5V and GND GPIO pins (pins 2 and 6). The display may also be powered via the on-board micro-USB port if additional current is required.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every 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.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero?
Yes, but you will need a separate DSI adapter cable since the Zero has a smaller connector. The touch and display work perfectly once connected.
Can I use this without the GPIO power pins?
Absolutely. The board has a micro-USB power input that can supply the required 5V independently, allowing you to free up GPIO pins for other uses.
What is the typical power consumption?
The display typically draws around 0.5A at 5V when active. Ensure your power supply can handle the combined load of the Pi and display.
