7inch Official Raspberry Pi Display DocumentationOverviewThe 7inch Official Raspberry Pi display is a high-quality, compact LCD display designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi series of single-board computers. This display provides a convenient and efficient way to add a visual interface to your IoT projects, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts.Technical SpecificationsDisplay Size: 7 inches
Resolution: 1024x600 pixels
Touchscreen: 5-point capacitive touch
Interface: 40-pin GPIO connector (compatible with Raspberry Pi models A, B, A+, B+, 2B, 3B, and 3B+)
Power Consumption: 5V, 1.5AProgramming Languages and DriversThe 7inch Official Raspberry Pi display is compatible with the following programming languages and drivers:Python (Raspbian OS): uses the `tkinter` library for GUI development
C++ (Raspbian OS): uses the `bcm2835` library for low-level GPIO accessExample 1: Simple GUI Application with tkinter (Python)This example demonstrates how to create a simple GUI application using the `tkinter` library and display it on the 7inch Official Raspberry Pi display.Code:
```python
import tkinter as tk# Create a tkinter window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Raspberry Pi Display Example")# Create a label and button
label = tk.Label(window, text="Hello, World!", font=("Helvetica", 24))
label.pack()button = tk.Button(window, text="Exit", command=window.destroy)
button.pack()# Run the GUI event loop
window.mainloop()
```
Example 2: Capacitive Touch Input with bcm2835 (C++)This example demonstrates how to use the `bcm2835` library to read capacitive touch input from the display.Code:
```c
#include <bcm2835.h>int main() {
// Initialize the bcm2835 library
if (!bcm2835_init()) {
return 1;
}// Set up the display's touch interface
bcm2835_gpio_fsel(RPI_GPIO_P1_15, BCM2835_GPIO_FSEL_INPT);
bcm2835_gpio_fsel(RPI_GPIO_P1_16, BCM2835_GPIO_FSEL_INPT);
bcm2835_gpio_fsel(RPI_GPIO_P1_17, BCM2835_GPIO_FSEL_INPT);// Read touch input
while (1) {
uint8_t touch_state = bcm2835_gpio_lev(RPI_GPIO_P1_15);
if (touch_state) {
printf("Touch detected!
");
}
bcm2835_delay(50);
}// Clean up
bcm2835_close();
return 0;
}
```
Example 3: Displaying an Image (Python)This example demonstrates how to display an image on the 7inch Official Raspberry Pi display using the `PIL` (Python Imaging Library).Code:
```python
from PIL import Image
import tkinter as tk# Create a tkinter window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Raspberry Pi Display Example")# Load an image
image = Image.open("image.png")# Create a tkinter image object
tk_image = tk.PhotoImage(image)# Create a label to display the image
label = tk.Label(window, image=tk_image)
label.pack()# Run the GUI event loop
window.mainloop()
```
These examples demonstrate the capabilities of the 7inch Official Raspberry Pi display and provide a starting point for developing more complex IoT projects.
