Review on Waveshare 2 Computer Components in Single Board Computers by Kevin Silver

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not ready for prime time with Pico

This article still has room to encode with Pico - the display itself is great, the power consumption is high . The cons are that you have to do a lot of digging to maintain the code as it doesn't show up when saved as main.py and the main con is that it doesn't just show a horizontal (lengthwise) portrait orientation - although in an image they used for sale it is displayed in landscape orientation. The response time of the support is also missing.

Pros
  • No backlight, shows the latest content for a long time even when the device is off
Cons
  • sad packaging
