Raspberry Pi enthusiasts looking for a larger screen
than the official 7-inch Raspberry Pi Foundation screen may be interested in a
new 10.1-inch PCAP touch screen kit measuring 255 x 174 x 9mm, developed to work
with the Raspberry Pi, by hardware manufacturer and distributor Inelco Hunter.
Specifically designed for industrial applications
the touchscreen offers a WXGA wide angle resolution of 1280 x 800 with 16
million colours and is supplied preassembled to connect to the Raspberry Pi
which can be mounted on the rear of the interface PCB using the supplied screws
and spacer pillars. The Raspberry Pi screen requires 12V at 2A to drive the TFT
display, touch panel and backlight, and 5V at 2A to power the Pi.
The touchscreen panel supports multi-touch input via
pinch, zoom and rotate, and can be either USB or I2C connected if preferred. Unfortunately no pricing details have been made
available, but as soon as anything is announce we will keep you up-to-date as
always.
