Pimoroni's GFX HAT is an eye - catching LCD display with a stunning RGB backlight and responsive touch buttons. This sleek LCD can showcase complex graphics for your headless Pi games and animations. Even though it's a monochrome 128x64 - pixel display, you can set the backlight to various RGB colors for different indications. It comes with six capacitive touch buttons for easy input and navigation, making it a great controller option. The cool backlight of the capacitive touch buttons is not only soothing to tap on and off but also lets you know when a touch is registered. This fully - assembled HAT supports Python, so you can quickly get it up and running. With Pimoroni's quality, it'll look amazing in your next Raspberry Pi project. Features include a 2.15' 128x64 - pixel LCD display, an integrated diffuser/reflector assembly, a six - zone RGB LED backlight, an SN3218 LED driver chip (I2C address 0x54), six capacitive touch buttons with white LEDs, a Microchip CAP1166 capacitive touch/LED driver chip (I2C address 0x2c), compatibility with multiple Raspberry Pi models, a Python library, and it's plug - and - play right on your Raspberry Pi.
Using the Pimoroni GFX HAT is a breeze. First, make sure your Raspberry Pi is turned off. Then, simply plug the fully - assembled HAT right onto your Raspberry Pi. Once it's connected, turn on your Raspberry Pi. You can start using the six capacitive touch buttons for input and navigation in your games or projects. To change the backlight color, use the Python library that comes with the HAT. Just write a simple script and you're good to go. When it comes to maintenance, keep the HAT in a clean and dry place. Avoid touching the LCD screen with dirty hands as it may leave smudges. If you need to clean the HAT, use a soft, dry cloth. And always remember to turn off your Raspberry Pi before removing or connecting the HAT to prevent any electrical issues.
