The new Raspberry Pi Pico is ideal for IOT applications: small, inexpensive and power-saving with 0.4 W in operation or 6 mW in sleep mode. To match this, there is now a compact TFT display with 80 mW power consumption only that can be soldered on directly. The display is supplied pre-assembled. This makes it a child's play to display any measured values and parameters. Currently 2 different versions are available:
- 0.9" IPS DIsplay, 500 cd/m²: EA RaPicoTFT009
- 0.9" IPS Display with touch, 400 cd/m²: EA RaPicoTFT009TC
Both versions include well-documented C code that supports to display some text in different fonts, deleting and filling areas, displaying images and using the touch panel.
