Info

This display comes with the pins unsoldered. You have to solder them yourself.

  • This display is perfect, if you want to build a small device-like player or net radio showing the title or broadcast information.
  • Together with a RPi Zero W and a HiFiBerry MiniAMP or small mono DAC/amp Audio Amp SHIM (pic below), you get a complete solution.

Info

It’s a little bit tricky get those displays running under piCorePlayer. Other spi displays like Waveshare or Spotpear, that are fitted with the same ili9341 chip, may work too with this overlay. I tested it with Spotpear 2.4 inch spi LCD.

Add a 3.5 inch display

pCP Team 22 May 2022 pCP 8.2.0 Projects
piCorePlayer by default supports the official Raspberry Pi Touch Display. However, there are dozens of displays available for the Raspberry Pi. These instructions are for a generic Raspberry Pi 3.5" display but may also give clues on how to support other displays. A big thanks to nowhinjing for his Waveshare 4.1 TFT + piCorePlayer + Jivelite tutorial which was used as a starting point. Note If upgrading from pCP version 9.2 or lower, or if installing fresh on pCP 10 or higher, be sure to read the important note below, otherwise jivelite will fail to write out its settings.
