How to Use 2.8 Inch Touch Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico
Begin by wiring the display’s 5V and GND lines to the Pico’s power pins and connect SPI signals (MOSI, SCK, CS, DC) to the Pico’s GPIO headers. Attach touch controller lines (T_CS, T_IRQ, T_DO, T_DIN, T_CLK) to spare GPIOs. After hardware setup, install Waveshare’s MicroPython drivers for ST7789 and XPT2046 via Thonny or command line, then run the provided example scripts to initialize the display and touch functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wire the 2.8″ touch display to Raspberry Pi Pico?
Connect the display’s SPI pins (MOSI, SCK, CS, DC), 5V VCC and GND to the corresponding pins on the Pico. For touch, link the XPT2046 signals (T_CS, T_IRQ, T_DO, T_DIN, T_CLK) to free GPIOs. Refer to Waveshare’s Pico wiring diagram for exact pin assignments.
Which software libraries support this SPI display and touch controller?
Waveshare provides MicroPython drivers for both the ST7789 display and the XPT2046 touch controller. Copy the st7789.py and xpt2046.py modules onto your Pico using Thonny or rshell, then run the example scripts available on Waveshare’s GitHub to get started.
How can I display images stored on the microSD card?
Insert a FAT32-formatted microSD card containing BMP or JPEG files into the onboard slot. Use the ST7789 library’s image-loading functions (e.g., display.image()) to read and render files directly from the SD card—ensure the card is properly seated before powering the module.
