Issue #117 — Display
Hi everyone
This week the Foundation announced (at last) the immediate availability of the official DSI touchscreen display. Perhaps not a replacement for your monitor but a great device for embedded projects and touchscreen applications. Buy from the swag store or partners now!
Pimoroni have already created a great stand for the display which they’re selling in kits. Be sure to watch their new video series, Bilge Tank.
Earlier this week I was in Estonia launching the Raspberry Pi in Estonia project with the British Embassy in Tallinn. It was a great event and the Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas was in attendance, thanking the Raspberry Pi Foundation and partners for their work on the project.
