TS7-Pro 7-inch Touch Screen
Introduction
This is a 7-inch touch screen with dual-channel speakers and protective cover and stand. High definition display with
comfortable viewing angle and good handheld experience.
The onboard buttons can be used to adjust the volume and brightness, as well as turn on/off the screen.
Reserved hard drive mounting position, compatible with 2.5-inch mechanical hard disk and solid state drive. If you
use SSD instead of Micro SD card, it can increase the capacity of Raspberry Pi as well as improve the operation speed.
The 40pin interface is also reserved, so you can connect 40pin cable or connect sensors directly to ensure the scalability
of Raspberry Pi.
If you encounter problems in using the process, or any suggestions, please feel free to send Email and we will reply as
soon as possible.
