It isn&rsquo;t specified and is critical to the application I have in mind.

OS image version (latest v1.7 works fine)</p> <p>2.) Drivers for your Raspberry Pi model</p> <p>3.) Your power supply to power the LCD (5V/1A worked fine but the specs recommend 5V/1.8A). If your power supply is 5V/2A and powering the Raspberry Pi, you can also use the power from the 5V and GND GPIO pins.</p> <p>4.) The ribbon cable is not connected properly to the connectors</p> <p>5.) Traces on the ribbon cable have been pulled. Try looking at your connections and do not jam the wires into the connectors. In one case, a customer had jammed the cable into the connector so a trace was not connecting properly.</p> Customer #410568 urn:uuid:004c6cc7-6dea-9267-f05a-aa9c28bf3c18 2016-01-27T11:21:25-07:00 <p>Will it work on a Pi2 running Ubuntu Mate or only Raspbian?</p> Dave1234567890 urn:uuid:46d5023a-b4a3-383b-68c0-60f25209a3e6 2016-01-07T09:58:10-07:00 <p>Does any one know if this will work for the pcDuino 3?</p> Customer #183062 urn:uuid:5109203b-5dc0-d7d6-9209-3cf583f2a8a0 2015-11-01T15:02:08-07:00 <p>I&rsquo;ve had pretty good success with a portable USB charger (i.e. a battery with a USB-A port). Anker is the best brand I&rsquo;ve come across. And thanks, rEgLer, for the 1A tip. Any of the powerCore series I&rsquo;ve seen supply at least 2A per port.</p> John Morris urn:uuid:365186b8-7e44-7bb6-1e6b-2c63244e3458 2015-10-30T23:18:36-06:00 <p>I&rsquo;d suggest you buy a tablet. $60 gets a lot of tablet these days. Lots of ways to hook up any misc hardware via the USB port. In the end it will be a better screen, faster machine and more portable.</p> Customer #340290 urn:uuid:0b6215e8-f9a7-0c5c-d03e-1bcd1a2a1de0 2015-10-30T11:51:12-06:00 <p>I was not able to get it to work with windows IoT (non insider version) out of the box.
