The Adafruit ADA4506 Colour TFT Bonnet for Raspberry Pi has 240x240 colour pixels in an IPS TFT display controlled over SPI.
This display is super small, measuring only 1.3" diagonal, but since it is an IPS display, it provides a great level of clarity with high contrast and visibility.
The Pi add-on has a TFT display in the centre, a 5-way joystick, and two pushbuttons. This provides great usability for when you want to have a control interface for your project.
On the bottom of this board, you can find a Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector for I2C sensors and devices so you can plug and play any of the Adafruit STEMMA QT devices.
The ADA4506 has a kernel driver and Python library for the ST7789 chipset. You can set it up as a console output, meaning you can have text and user interface through the Raspberry Pi OS, or draw images, write text, and much more using the Python imaging library. Python code is also available through Adafruit, allowing you to read the joystick and buttons.
Tested for performance, the board demonstrated that it can run at approximately 15 FPS, making it possible to host animations or simple videos.
This product is supplied fully assembled and tested, all that is left to do is plug it in and install Adafruit's Python code!
Works with any Raspberry Pi computer, including the original Pi 1, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5, and Pi Zero.
