Description Waveshare Pico-ResTouch-LCD-3.5 is a 3.5inch resistive touch display module for Raspberry Pi Pico featuring a 480 × 320 resolution, an IPS display panel, and a dedicated XPT2046 resistive touch controller. It is designed for direct use with Raspberry Pi Pico and provides a larger display area for UI design, instrumentation, menu systems, and embedded control projects. This module also integrates an ILI9488 display driver, a MicroSD card slot, and programmable backlight control, making it a practical choice for Pico projects that need richer visuals, touch interaction, and removable media support. Features 3.5inch IPS touch display with 480 × 320 resolution and 65K colors. Dedicated XPT2046 resistive touch controller for smoother touch response. ILI9488 LCD driver for stable control of the display panel. SPI interface for compact wiring with Raspberry Pi Pico. MicroSD card slot for image storage and direct display use cases. Programmable backlight control to help manage power consumption. Direct Raspberry Pi Pico compatibility through onboard female header design. Development resources included for Pico C/C++ and MicroPython projects. Specifications Operating voltage 5V Resolution 480 × 320 pixels Communication interface SPI Display size 73.44 × 48.96 mm Display panel IPS Pixel size 0.153 × 0.153 mm Driver ILI9488 Dimensions 86.00 × 57.20 mm Touch controller XPT2046 Extra storage MicroSD card slot Applications This Raspberry Pi Pico touch display is well suited for portable control interfaces, embedded HMI projects, instrumentation panels, data visualization, industrial prototypes, Pico GUI projects, and touch-driven menu systems. The larger 3.5inch screen gives more room for layouts than smaller Pico LCD modules.
