The following image shows how to attach the Raspbery Pi to the back of the Touch Display (if required), and how to connect both the data (Ribbon cable) and power (Red/Black wires) from the Raspberry Pi to the display. If you are not attaching the Raspberry Pi to the back of the display, take extra care when attaching the ribbon cable to ensure it is the correct way round. The black and red power lines should be attached to the GND and 5v pins respectively.

## Screen orientation
1420

1521
LCD displays have an optimum viewing angle, and depending on how the screen is mounted it may be necessary to change the orientation of the display to give the best results. By default, the Raspberry Pi Touch Display and Raspberry Pi are set up to work best when viewed from slightly above, for example on a desktop. If viewing from below, you can physically rotate the display, and then tell the system software to compensate by running the screen upside down.
