Review on Waveshare 1 Computer Components for Single Board Computers by Louis Alford

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent screen and comfortable screen but with a broken joystick

I really like the screen and I like how it matches the pico. Also, I really like that the Wavehave site has working code for C and MicroPython for example?! Most people don't have working code for these shields, so the props are there. However, after further research, it turned out that my joystick wasn't working, which is a shame for me as I like the idea of 4 buttons in one approach. All in all I think it can work for you without too much trouble, the screen is pretty good compared to others but you still get a relatively cheap board with limited quality.

Pros
  • Uses 4-wire SPI and I2C interface, better compatibility, high baud rate
Cons
  • Periodicity
