I purchased a PiTFT 2.8" restive touch with the intention of using it for a display while operating mobile with a FT818ND radio.
I have a older model B V2.0 that is gathering dust so I figured to use that.
It works up to a point. The resolution of the desktop is way too large for the 320x240 screen. I've tried a few tutorials with no luck. a few of the required packages are 404. What to do?

Re: PiTFT with Model B V2
The PiTFT 2.8" is limited to a 320x240 resolution.
Are you seeing something different than our product images are showing in terms of desktop scale?

Re: PiTFT with Model B V2
Thanx for the quick response. I figured out my problem. I was using an older version of raspi. I upgraded to the current version. I was able to view the desktop correctly.
