Adafruit PiTFT 2.2" HAT Mini Kit - 320x240 2.2" TFT - No Touch

The  PiTFT got even better with this little primary display for Raspberry Pi in HAT form! It features a 2.2" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels. The HAT uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top of your Model A+ or B+ and fits into the Cyntech and Adafruit Model B+ cases quite nicely.

It's designed to plug directly onto the Pi Model A+ or B+. While not specifically designed for Pi Model A or B, you can use it with A/B if you solder in an extra-tall 2x13 header (not included) instead of the included 2x20 header

This design uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25. All other GPIO are unused and are available on a 25-pin long breakout line. There are 4 flat tactile switches wired to four GPIOs, that you can use if you want to make a basic user interface. For example, you can use one as a power on/off button.

To make it super easy for use: Adafruit has created a custom kernel package based of off Notro's awesome framebuffer work, so you can install it over your existing Raspbian (or derivative) images in just a few commands. Their tutorial series shows you how to install the software, play small videos, or display images such as from your PiCam and more!

Raspberry Pi -not- included.

Revision History:

• As of December 20, 2022 – we've updated this PCB with Adafruit Pinguin to make a lovely and legible silkscreen - you may get the new PCB or the older version with vector fonts - both are identical other than the fancy silkscreen.
• As of July 28, 2016 we have a version that breaks out the GND, 3.3V and 5V power pins as well

Specifications: 

• Board Dimensions: 65mm x 57mm x 6mm / 2.6" x 2.2" x 0.2"
• Screen Dimensions: 55mm x 40mm / 2.2" x 1.6"
• Datasheets, schematic, PCB files, and Fritzing available in the product tutorial
