- ♥ widely compatible with ♥ This 5 inch resistive touch screen designed for Raspberry Pi 3 2 model B RPI 1 b + a + can't work with Raspberry Pi zero directly Can work with all standard HDMI device but the touch function is just for Raspbian and Ubuntu systems
- ♥ with protective case ♥ This Raspberry Pi screen is with 800 x 480 resolution We design a protective case for it and it need you to assemble it you could look for the below QA to download the tutorial or contact us by email to get
- ♥ No Need External Power Supply ♥ When the 5 inch monitor work with RPI it don't need external power supply This Raspberry Pi screen power supplied and can be touched by GPIO display by HDMI If it is powered by external power there will be no touch function and please use 5V2A power supply to power it
- ♥ come with Touch pen ♥ the screen is resistive touch screen which need touch pen to touch it it is hard to touch with finger The touch pen is for easily controlling and using
- ♥ detailed tutorial provided ♥ We provide the tutorial about how to Install the driver to your Raspbian and Ubuntu system You could look for the below QA to download or contact us by email

About
PirateBox software runs on inexpensive hardware to connect users over an offline wifi network. Join it and your browser redirects to a simple interface where you can share files, chat, and stream video.
Pifm is a small program you can install in a Raspberry Pi PirateBox, aka “pi(rate)box.” It can broadcast on FM radio to inform potential users about the PirateBox wifi network, play uploaded music, and with a USB microphone Pifm lets you talk live to your audience.
Improvements
The first version of this project was well received so I'm back to share design and documentation improvements. Pi(rate)FM Zero is now fully self contained. It turns on and off with a button press and can automatically broadcast information about the wifi network over empty FM stations at user defined intervals.
Why not use a car/smartphone FM trasmitter?
You totally could. It might even be better in some situations if you don't mind a slightly larger, more expensive device with an extra battery to charge. Keep in mind you'd lose the ability to live broadcast with a microphone or play audio directly from the PirateBox.
Going forward
In my next version I'd like to improve the PirateBox interface and make a way for users to rate playlists while having Pifm automatically play the highest ranked tracks. Users could upload music and vote on which tracks gets played. It'd be your own personal short range interactive digital-analog radio station hosted on a private intranet.
Bonus**
Here's a .img file for your convenience. Just install it to an SD card (at least 4 gb) and run it in a Pi Zero to get started. Note: auto broadcast on FM isn't enabled by default so you'll need to add a cronjob as detailed in the guide if you want to activate this feature.
where do I buy GPIO pins? I have a pi zero laying around that I want to install one of them e-ink display hats onto. I have a solder pen thing (no idea how to set it up), but first things first... where exactly do I buy the pins themselves? This link indicates I should buy this and 'break' the pins to the correct size?
