Windows 10 + Raspberry Pi 3 + Display

I’ve been playing with Windows 10 IoT and a Raspberry Pi for a little while now, so I got a touchscreen to improve my experience. Here’s my current setup:

  • Raspberry Pi 3
  • Rapsberry Pi 7” touch display
  • Raspberry Pi Clear Case
  • Windows 10 IOT Insider Edition

To get everything working, just connect the “display” cable (the big gray one) and the 3 small wires to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO!

A quick test with Windows 10 IoT and the touchscreen. Everything works right away, including touch!

Everything is screwed in and connected:

“Here it is, standing all by itself:

But when the RPi restarts in that nice case, the screen is upside down!!! Fortunately, I’m not the first one to have that happen, and you just need to add the following line to the configuration file:

lcd_rotate=2

I’m going back to playing with the Internet of Things…
