Compatibility
Works with any Raspberry Pi board that features a DSI connector, including all models from Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi 5. The Pi Zero and Zero W require a separate adapter cable (not included) to connect to the smaller mini‑DSI port. Mechanical mounting holes align with Pi boards for direct attachment; four stand‑offs and screws are provided.
Wiring Notes
Connect the flat‑flex cable from the display adapter to the DSI port on the Raspberry Pi, ensuring the blue tab faces the Ethernet/USB ports. The touch controller and backlight are powered via the GPIO header—attach the included jumper wires to 5V (Pin 2 or 4) and GND (Pin 6). No additional drivers are needed on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye or later; the display is automatically detected.
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 5?
Yes, it works with all Raspberry Pi models that have a DSI connector, including the Pi 5. The display is automatically recognized in Raspberry Pi OS; touch input requires no extra config.
How do you power the display?
The display pulls power from the Pi's GPIO 5V pins via the supplied jumper wires. No external power supply is needed—just ensure your Pi's power adapter can handle the combined load.
Can I use this touchscreen with Windows or Ubuntu?
Official drivers are provided for Raspberry Pi OS (Linux). For Windows 10/11 IoT Core or Ubuntu, third‑party touch drivers may be required, and functionality is not guaranteed.
