PiFace Control & Display fits neatly atop the Raspberry Pi and uses its own built-in buttons and a navigation wheel to control applications and functions, with information displayed on a built-in LCD screen. By separating the Raspberry Pi from the traditional monitor, keyboard, and mouse setup, PiFace Control & Display improves portability, saves valuable space and energy, and means a credit card-sized computer can be used in many different locations and even controlled via an infrared remote.
With education as its focus, PiFace Control & Display aims to make programming accessible and fun. It features a lightweight, Python-based interface that is simple and easy to use, and in just a few minutes, users can create and customize their own control and monitor menus, for example, to access information or control an application.
Ideal for use in a media server environment, home network, internet radio, or custom-built applications, PiFace Control & Display comes with all the necessary software and sample code. Custom-designed control and display cases are also available from Farnell element14.
