his is the 3.5-inch TFT Touch Screen (Resistive) with a high graphic refresh rate of 50Hz. It is compatible with:

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

The touch screen LCD is ready with 320×480 resolution, 50 FPS (Frame per second). Resistive touch control is being supported by the Raspberry Pi OS or Raspbian (directly pluggable). However, we will still need to install the driver for graphic display 🙂

This LCD is compatible with all Raspberry Pi board that has 40-pin GPIO, including the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W, WH series.

  Installing the graphic driver for the LCD on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B:

  1. Please get a microSD card with the latest NOOBS/Raspberry Pi OS/Raspbian, or update the OS.
  2. Stack the LCD onto Raspberry Pi, before the graphic driver is installed, the Raspberry Pi will output graphics to an HDMI port, so you will need a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to access the terminal.
  3. Access to Raspberry Pi OS through the terminal or SSH too.
  4. Install the graphic driver into Raspberry Pi OS
  5. Execute the following command:
     1. sudo rm -rf LCD-show
     2. git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
     3. chmod -R 755 LCD-show
     4. cd LCD-show/
     5. sudo ./MHS35-show
  6. After this command, the Raspberry Pi will restart and the graphic will be displayed on a 3.5 LCD instead of an HDMI port.
  7. The touch screen works without any special driver, as we tested on the latest Raspberry Pi OS (30 July 2020).
