Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 Launches For $60 USD, 720 x 1280 7-Inch Display

([Raspberry Pi] 22 Minutes Ago Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2)


Nine years after the Raspberry Pi Touch Display was announced as a 800 x 480 pixel LCD panel catering to the Raspberry Pi, today the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 was announced.

The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 still is a 7-inch form factor but upgraded to a 720 x 1280 panel. On the input side, the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 features a multi-touch capacitive panel with five-finger touch support. The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is fully supported by the Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi OS.

The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is going on sale for $60 USD -- the same price as the original Raspberry Pi Touch Display.

A sheet of paper crossed my desk the other day and as I read it,
realization of a basic truth came over me. So simple! So obvious we couldn't
see it. John Knivlen, Chairman of Polamar Repeater Club, an amateur radio
group, had discovered how IC circuits work. He says that smoke is the thing
that makes ICs work because every time you let the smoke out of an IC circuit,
it stops working. He claims to have verified this with thorough testing.
I was flabbergasted! Of course! Smoke makes all things electrical
work. Remember the last time smoke escaped from your Lucas voltage regulator
Didn't it quit working? I sat and smiled like an idiot as more of the truth
dawned. It's the wiring harness that carries the smoke from one device to
another in your Mini, MG or Jag. And when the harness springs a leak, it lets
the smoke out of everything at once, and then nothing works. The starter
motor requires large quantities of smoke to operate properly, and that's why
the wire going to it is so large.
Feeling very smug, I continued to expand my hypothesis. Why are Lucas
electronics more likely to leak than say Bosch? Hmmm... Aha!!! Lucas is
British, and all things British leak! British convertible tops leak water,
British engines leak oil, British displacer units leak hydrostatic fluid, and
I might add Brititsh tires leak air, and the British defense unit leaks
secrets... so naturally British electronics leak smoke.
