Software Examples
### Example 1: Using with Raspberry Pi (Python)
In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the Waveshare 5 inch HDMI Resistive Touchscreen Display with a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS.
Hardware Requirements
Raspberry Pi (any model)
 Waveshare 5 inch HDMI Resistive Touchscreen Display
 HDMI cable
 Micro-USB cable (for power supply)
 Internet connection (for software installation)
Software Requirements
Raspbian OS (any version)
 Python 3.x (pre-installed on Raspbian)
Code Example
```python
import pygame
# Initialize pygame
pygame.init()
# Set up the display
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 480))
# Set up the touchscreen
touchscreen = pygame.touch.Touchscreen()
# Run the event loop
while True:
    # Handle events
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()
        elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
            print("Touch detected at:", event.pos)
# Clear the screen
    screen.fill((255, 255, 255))
# Draw a rectangle on the screen
    pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 0, 255), (100, 100, 200, 200))
# Update the screen
    pygame.display.flip()
```
This code example initializes a pygame window on the Waveshare display, sets up the touchscreen interface, and responds to touch events. When you run this code, you should see a blue rectangle on the screen, and when you touch the screen, the coordinates of the touch event will be printed to the console.

Code Example (C#)
```csharp
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class TouchscreenExample
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create a form to display on the screen
        Form form = new Form();
        form.Text = "Waveshare Touchscreen Example";
        form.Width = 800;
        form.Height = 480;
// Create a label to display touch coordinates
        Label label = new Label();
        label.AutoSize = true;
        label.Font = new Font("Arial", 24);
        form.Controls.Add(label);
// Set up the touchscreen driver
        var touchscreen = new TouchscreenDriver();
// Handle touchscreen events
        touchscreen.TouchDown += (sender, e) =>
        {
            label.Text = $"Touch down at ({e.X}, {e.Y})";
        };
touchscreen.TouchMove += (sender, e) =>
        {
            label.Text = $"Touch move at ({e.X}, {e.Y})";
        };
touchscreen.TouchUp += (sender, e) =>
        {
            label.Text = $"Touch up at ({e.X}, {e.Y})";
        };
// Run the application
        Application.Run(form);
    }
}
```
This code example creates a Windows Form to display on the Waveshare screen, sets up the touchscreen driver, and responds to touch events. When you run this code, you should see a window on the screen with a label that updates when you touch the screen, displaying the coordinates of the touch event.
