2.8" touch screen monitor

Post by stephendathomas »

Hi

The new 2.8" touch screen monitor seems to solve a problem for me - how to have a classroom of Raspberry Pi but without the need to connect/disconnect/carry around etc "normal" sized monitors. That is a lot of monitors for 10 teams of 3 youngsters - 30 youngsters!! So the 2.8" could be a great.
Questions
I wish to use Scratch, is 2.8" sufficient physical size for this? May seem a daft question but I've never used a monitor this small.
If 2.8" is OK, then what breakout board would you suggest? I'm only after controlling simple dc motors.
Any idea when they will appear in the UK?

Many thanks

Steve

its possible to run, but its too small to use - 320x240 !

Check out our 7" HDMI screen, thats the best quality small screen we have - good for reading text. The 7" TV is less expensive but has blurrier text
