Adafruit 1.3 TFT Bonnet for Raspberry Pi
Overview
The Adafruit 4484 is a compact 1.3-inch IPS LCD display bonnet designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. It features a high-resolution 240x240 pixel ST7789 driver and includes two tactile buttons and a 5-way joystick for user input, fitting perfectly over a Raspberry Pi Zero or larger models.
Why Choose This Part
The IPS technology ensures wide viewing angles and vibrant colors compared to standard TN displays. It integrates both display and tactile inputs on a single PCB, reducing the need for external wiring and complex mechanical assemblies.
Applications
Getting Started
Plug the bonnet directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header of any Raspberry Pi and enable the SPI interface via raspi-config. Use the Adafruit CircuitPython ST7789 library for rapid development of graphics and text overlays in Python.
