You can use it with any Raspberry Pi with a 40 pin header* but it works particularly nicely with the Pi Zero footprint - we've designed it so you can mount a Zero neatly behind it, so you can't see the Pi when you look at it from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of HyperPixel would be great for custom interfaces and control panels - mounted on a wall it would make a really neat, minimalist smart home controller or a stylish 'what's playing' display for your sound system.

We recommend putting the screen face down on a soft surface and gently wiggling the Pi to mate with the extended header (or GPIO header). If you need to remove your Hyperpixel, take care not to pull on the edges of the glass display - it's best to hold on to the rectangular PCB. As the glass edges of this display overhang the PCB they're quite exposed, so it's worth being extra careful with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoftware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this version of HyperPixel, we've separated the display drivers and touch drivers which should hopefully make it easier to incorporate touch interfaces into your own programs.
