The Adafruit PiTFT 2.2" HAT is a compact colour display that plugs directly onto your Raspberry Pi. With a 320×240 pixel screen and high-speed SPI interface, it's perfect for console output, X windows, video playback, or custom interfaces—all without needing an external monitor.

This mini kit includes the display PCB and a 2×20 GPIO header (some soldering required). Four tactile buttons are wired to GPIOs for creating basic user interfaces like power control or menu navigation.
