Sainsmart 3.2 TFT + PI = Frustration

Former Member

I an a NOOB. No two ways about it. But I do know that I dont want to depend on shields to get things added. That being said:
I have a 3.2" Sainsmart touch sensitive TFT display and I want to use it with my PI. this is proving to be next to impossible as all the guides out there dont do a very good job for someone at my skill level.
I am hoping to lean on this amazing community to help me with some answers. I need to know how to pin the display to my PI and what drivers I will need to push it. I am asking this as we are mentoring some kids this summer in all things STEM and I thought it would be a cool takeaway for all of them to build a miniature MAME (roms) gaming box. Just a little something to bridge the gap! IF ANYONE could help I and the kids would be greatly appreciative. Just keep in mind any response will have to be VERBOSE as I am a noob image. I have attached all the files i have on the display.

Thanks in advance!

  • Luckily, I found this video. It's using the SainSmart 3.2″ TFT. The end of the videos shows how it wired up.
