Connect and Set Up the 5" Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2

With a crisp 720?1280 resolution and an 80? viewing angle, the 5 inch version of the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 is great for compact projects. The step by step tutorial shows how to power this little display directly from the Raspberry Pi 5V rail from the 40-pin header, boot from a microSD card running Raspberry Pi OS and get the touch panel up and responsive. You will also see the default portrait orientation of the display and a quick method to rotate it to landscape. I covered the bigger 7 inch version in a previous review, but this video focuses solely on the 5 inch version and the exact setup process you will need.

Watch the full video now to follow the step-by-step setup and see the display in action.
