PiTFT 2.8" TFT 320x240 + Capacitive Touchscreen

Our best-selling PiTFT 2.8" display just got a fancy upgrade, now we have a version with a capacitive touchscreen! That's right, instead of a resistive touchscreen, which requires a fingernail or stylus, you can now use a fingerpad. The screen looks much nicer, with a black bezel and glass overlay.

Featuring a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a single-touch capacitive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top!

It's designed to fit nicely onto the Pi Model A or B rev 2 but also works perfectly fine with the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or Pi 1 Model B+ as long as you don't mind the PCB overhangs the USB ports by 5mm (see the photos above). Model A+ works great too.  Model B rev 1 have an older layout for the I2C pins and won't be able to use the touch screen.
