Introduction

Looking for a small screen that is the same size as your Raspberry Pi? This 3.5" resistive touch screen with 480 x 320 resolution will certainly meet your needs. If further combined with a wireless keyboard, It will act as a fully functional computer that fits right in your pocket. Use it to run the Pi's terminal, to play games, or to browse the web.

This item is more than just a screen, it is also a development friendly platform. It is seamlessly compatible with DFRobot Gravity series modules making it easy to connect or even to debug your Pi via the serial port! All the pins of Pi are left unoccupied, giving you more room to connect jumper wires.

Using the LCD with your Raspberry Pi

Get Started

Download LCD drivers: LCD Driver by waveshare (need network when installing)

Copy LCD driver onto the USB disk.
Insert the USB disk into the USB host on your Raspberry Pi
Copy the LCD drivers into the Pi's filesystem, e.g /home/pi
Open a terminal and use the cd command to navigate to the directory where the driver is

e.g. if the directory is "/home/pi" then you need to use the command "cd /home/pi"

Install 7zip
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
Unzip LCD-show-master.zip
7z x LCD-show-master.zip
Enter the LCD-show directory
cd /home/pi/LCD-show-master
ls
Install driver
sudo ./LCD35-show

After you run the command, the system will automatically restart and switch to the LCD display.
