When surfing for information on 3. A acrylic case and stylus is also included in that price but you never know if one can trust that. Here my experiences with the screen: quite slow refresh, not too high contrast, crisp screen, touch works, software works but is already outdated, but considering the price this screen is well worth the money! If I compare it to the NeoSec screen it is a better deal for applications with a high contrast theme and no demand on smooth video. Ordered October 18, received 29 oktober, not bad for standard shipping from China! Well packaged in a box, the displays wrapped in bubble packaging. So now for the test. On the sellers page an URL is placed to get the software, on a Google drive. Not a clickable url, but an image with a long filename to type over …. Oh well, I got the archive. Images for more versions mine i 2. Alternative is with Kali Ubuntu drivers too for version 3. The archive contains an image of Raspbian with the LCD driver installed. The image is quite current, and fit for B, B+ or 2 B. When I bought the screen an older image, build in augustus 2015, was downloadable, the kernel is quite fresh built, early October 2015. After imaging and booting on a RPi 2 B I saw the normal startup messages flying eh, crawling.. The image supplied is wheezy, 3. So quite a recent system! Also the Model 1 B and B+ kernel is present, also just current wheezy. In a separate image I found two shell scripts to replace the kernel with either a HDMI or a LCD patched one. Now the bad news: no word how these kernels were build. So we are stuck with wheezy for now until the Chinese supply a more current build, hopefully based upon jessie. Until then: be careful updating the system by holding back on kernel updates. Other GPIOs are free, and the connector construction leaves these pins indeed accessible! The acrylic case is not something special, it looks like the usual cheap thing without the top plate. The screen fits in the hole, but is not supported by it, instead it rests on the USB connectors. The drivers for this 3. So is there no way to upgrade kernel? Is possible to change the backlight intensity? Thanks for your response. Regards Bagican Thank you for this post, very useful. I have bought the exact same touch screen display, and could not understant how to update the system without loosing the display. You post helped me fix this. Do you know how that would be possible to find a specific driver for this display? That would allow to get rid of the dependency to this third party image. I have tried the Adafruit touch screen driver, without success. On the SD card you need an image of the whole Raspbian, of the supplier, ask for it or look at the pages of other sellers on Ali Express. There is a V2 and a V3 of the card. Mine is a V2, bought here, the is on that page Works fine, the display refresh rate is quite slow. You cannot update the kernel, see the note on the bottom of my page on the blog. On your PC all you need is Win32DiskImager. And if nothing works and you are a bit handy with Linux: Worked for me out of the box. Limited to older wheezy, so make sure the kernel is protected for apt-get upgrade etc. See my blog on that. There are files and instructions how to add the adapted kernels etc in the archive. Still limited to older wheezy. But it works for me with what I do with it. Python idle needs an install. BUt it will be of limited use on this tiny screen, much of the interface will be offscreen and it so slow in screen updates. This is not an alternative for a real monitor, 800×600 is a minimal size, 1024×768 is even better.
