Description Waveshare 3.5inch Resistive Touch Display (A) for Raspberry Pi 480×320 is a compact GPIO-connected TFT LCD designed for Raspberry Pi projects that need an integrated screen and touch input in a small footprint. It combines a 3.5 inch display, 480×320 resolution, and resistive touch control, making it a practical choice for embedded user interfaces, control panels, educational projects, and portable Raspberry Pi builds. This 3.5inch RPi LCD (A) connects directly to the Raspberry Pi header and supports official driver-based use with Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie. It also supports FBCP software driver workflows for software resolution adjustment and dual-screen display use, which makes it useful for both simple standalone interfaces and more flexible multi-display Raspberry Pi projects. Features 3.5 inch resistive touch display with 480×320 resolution for compact Raspberry Pi interfaces. Resistive touch technology that supports stylus or finger input with reliable precision. Direct Raspberry Pi GPIO connection without an additional external power requirement. Driver support for Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie. FBCP software driver support for software resolution setting and dual-screen display workflows. Compact embedded-friendly design suitable for HMI, robotics, and portable Raspberry Pi projects. Specifications Specification Details Brand Waveshare Display Size 3.5 inch Resolution 480 × 320 Touch Type Resistive touch Interface Raspberry Pi GPIO / SPI Compatibility Raspberry Pi models with 40-pin GPIO Power Supply Powered directly from Raspberry Pi Driver Support Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, Retropie Additional Display Support FBCP software driver for software resolution and dual display Applications Raspberry Pi projects such as dashboards, portable interfaces, education, and embedded control panels.

Product List 3.5inch RPi LCD (A) × 1 Touch pen × 1 RPi screws pack (2pcs) × 1 Other Content Pinout definition: the board is designed for direct Raspberry Pi GPIO use and exposes the corresponding interface layout clearly for installation and integration. Real installation examples: Waveshare provides official usage examples with Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi Zero W, which helps confirm the intended physical mounting style and system fit. Resources Wiki / Product Guide Panel Dimension PDF Win32DiskImager SD Formatter Putty FAQ Does this display require a driver to work normally?Yes. According to the official documentation, this LCD needs the proper driver installed to function correctly on the Raspberry Pi. What systems are supported?The official feature list notes support for Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, Kali, and Retropie. What is FBCP support used for?FBCP support allows software resolution adjustment and dual-screen display workflows, which is helpful when you want more flexibility than a simple fixed LCD output. What if I need a larger Raspberry Pi display?If you want a larger screen, it is better to compare this 3.5 inch resistive touch model with other Raspberry Pi display series in the Waveshare ecosystem, especially DSI and HDMI-based options with larger viewing areas and different touch technologies.
