# RasPi - Animated GIF Picture Frame
## Overview
Who hasn't wanted their own animated GIFs to play in a private desk museum? The future is now! Build this desktop Raspberry Pi picture frame to display animated GIFs in a slideshow on a color 2.8" TFT, in Chromium kiosk mode.
Start with a [Pi Model B](https://www.adafruit.com/products/998) or [Pi Model B+](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1914) and an [Adafruit 2.8" PiTFT.](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1601) With a liberal use of a dremel (or diagonal cutters) and a touch of overclocking, you too can achieve your dreams of collecting GIFs and entertaining yourself to no end. Find inspiration. Use Sugru.
There is a very minimal amount of code involved with this project. It would be difficult to actually do less adjustment to a Raspberry Pi, and not see as dramatic of results.
I believe in you.
For this project, you will need:
- [Raspberry Pi Model B+](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1914) (for the power) or [Model B](https://www.adafruit.com/products/998) if you have one kicking around.
- [PiTFT 320x240 2.8" TFT Display](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1601)(resistive OR capacitive)
- [PiTFT Enclosure for Model B](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1892) (this is where things get dramatic)
- [Tactile Switch Buttons](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1489)(so you don't panic the kernel)
- SD/Micro SD Card (I'd recommend no less than 8 GB, I used 32 GB off of Amazon)
- [Sugru](https://www.adafruit.com/product/437)
- Clay shaping tools, or a modified plastic knife or fork
- [Flush diagonal cutters](https://www.adafruit.com/product/152), or a Dremel. The cutters are actually easier. Not scissors.
- Protective eyewear/mouthwear (if Dremeling)
- Krazy Glue or similar adhesive
- Latex gloves (optional)
- Micro USB Cable with On/Off Switch (Bought from [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JU24Z3W/ "Micro USB On/Off Switch"))
- [5V 2A Power Supply with USB-A Connector](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1994)
- Keyboard, mouse, HDMI-monitor, and ethernet connection
