The below instructions are taken from Adafruit PiTFT tutorial at the URL below.

The easiest way to access is to set up SSH and WiFi or Ethernet connectivity and use a remote terminal program like Putty. You will be using the linux command-line to configure and program the Raspberry. Note that this is going to be a “headless” installation, thus will not be using the Raspbian GUI. This already contains all the necessary drivers for the PiTFT screen. Otherwise, continue to the next step.īecause the PiTFT Resistive Touch screen requires modifications to the Raspbian kernel, it is STRONGLY suggested to start fresh with the pre-built Raspbian Jessie image from Adafruit. NOTE: If you already have set up a Raspberry Pi with an Adafruit PiTFT Plus 320x240 screen and AMG8833 Thermal Camera module as shown in the Adafruit Tutorial ( ) then you can skip to the RaspiThermalCam Software in section II. Adafruit Libraries for PiTFT and AMG8833 (described below).Custom Raspbian Jessie Lite for PiTFT (described below).4GB or larger micro SD card for Raspberry.5V USB Battery (such as external cellphone rechargeable) 3000mah or larger.Adafruit Faceplate and Plastic Case for piTFT and RaspberryPi 3.Adafruit PiTFT Plus Assembled 320x240 2.8' TFT + Resistive Touchscreen.Adafruit AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera Breakout.Raspberry Pi 3 (note: a Pi Zero can be used, but see the Pi Zero instructions here.).
