3.5" touch screen on A+

Mon Mar 23, 2015 11:30 am

Hello,

I want to buy and use 3.5" 480*320 touch screen on RPi A+,
but screen description says it is for Rpi B/B+

Could there be reason why only for those and A+ is not suitable?

Thanks

Which screen are you talking about? In theory it should work, but perhaps the description pre-dates the A+ and they haven't updated the info.

The pinout on an A+ is identical to a B+/2B so it's probably going to work.
