Does this work with the Raspberry pi pico W? I think I would be cool to get two of these and use it as an messenger. Maybe b-y to scroll between characters a to delete and x to send?
Nice explanation. The biggest downside here, as far as I can see, is that you lose all of the pins. So if I wanted this to display data from an external sensor attached to a GPIO pin then I would have to put header pins on the pico that attach to the screen and also project the other way to allow connection to the GPIO pins etc, or am I missing something?
Not the greatest layout but if you solder your own header pins you can have them extend both ways so you can plug things from the other side too. The display doesn't use all the GPIOs according to the schematic.
@@mdo I'm not skilled enough to read these schematics. Are there enough pins left over for an rfid reader? I currently have a program running on a Pi 4 that reads an rfid tag and loads the id into a database on my local network. I'd like to add a screen, but I also need about 20 of these for a project and don't need the full capabilities of a pi 4, nor do I have the budget for 20 of them.
Thanks for the great way you explain things.
Where did you found that cube example?
This looks cool
0:00 Ooohhh please do a desk/workstation and workbench (if you have one for each) setup video soon as well! 😬 I wanna know what ya working with lol
What frameraye can you get out of thag in native code?
can i put it in front of my eyes ? like a heads up display ?
I guess it doesn't need all the GPIO pins so I could solder some of them on the other side? I thought about displaying sensor values...

Should work just fine with the Pico W as they're fundamentally the same with the exception of the wireless module.
@@mdo Yeah the only difference I know of is that GP26 is not usable on the Pico W and so the LED is on GP01 but that shouldn't affect much really
Can this run .avi video files or any other format?

will this display work with the new pico w?
The Pimorani website says it does. I haven't tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Good stuff!
Is there any way to cast the raspbian os in this display?
No, but It's possible to drive an SPI display using a driver in Rpi OS.
Cool. I'm new to this kind of stuff. Could something like this be integrated to display something on screen when your in a meeting?
Not unless you add wifi or bluetooth, look at esp32
