Raspberry and Lcd monitor from adafruit

Sun Jun 15, 2014 1:55 pm

Hi everybody. I have bought a raspberry with lcd display 320x240 from adafruit. The display works well.
Now can I add a rtc module and then have I got others io available?
Does the display require all io available on raspberry pi?

The PiTFT uses the Pi's SPI pins and a couple gpio pins for the touch screen. The rest of the gpio pins are available, but you'd need to solder a female header underneath the PiTFT for easy access.

Best to read the details on the Adafruit website. They explain things pretty well for us non-hardware folk.

If this is the display you have, the description says.
Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO #25 and #24
.

These are shown here. I would assume GPIO #24 and GPIO #25 refer to the pins labeled on the diagram, not the numbering of the pins on the header.
