This RP2040 microcontroller has a 1.28" capacitive touch round touchscreen that features a 240x240 resolution with 65K RGB colours for a clear and colourful interface. On top of that, it includes a truck-load of features crammed into a neat, compact package - the powerful RP2040 with a dual-core arm cortex M0+ processor to ensure smooth performance, a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer to include orientation and movement tracking in your project, lithium battery support, BOOT/RESET buttons, USB-C programming/power and GPIO pin access!
With Pico C/C++, MicroPython, and Arduino IDE support, comprehensive SDK, Dev Resources and tutorials also available, you'll have everything you need for your next project. With a plethora of features and support, there are so many possibilities!
Please note: this board uses a tiny MX1.25 connector for LiPo power. Most LiPo batteries on the market (including ours) use a larger JST fitting. We do not yet stock batteries with an MX1.25 connector, however, you can customise your battery with one of our 1.25mm pitch cables to make a compatible battery yourself (assuming you have the ability, knowledge and tools to do this safely).
Note: There are two purchasable options for this board. Please select which one you want before adding it to the cart.
RP2040 1.28" Round Touch LCD with Accelerometer & Gyroscope Board Only
Great little screen, I'm planning on making a smart watch. The PiHut tutorials were really useful for getting started. I've been using a micropython driver build I found online instead of the basic RP2040 as it includes drivers for the screen... https://github.com/russhughes/gc9a01_mpy https://russhughes.github.io/gc9a01_mpy/index.html. The tutorials include a watch. If you want to use swipes and taps using the drivers provided in the waveshare tutorials then find def Int_Callback in the example code and copy self.Flag =1 and self.get_point() into the self.Mode == 0 section. Touch.Gestures will then return 5 for a single tap, 11 for a double tap and 12 for a long hold and you will be able to pull out the location of the taps as per the PiHut tutorial.
