Cannot be configured.

For the last 4 days I've been trying to get this to work. The online instructions are outdated and written in broken English. I am resorting to a pre-made disk image that someone else has made available for download because the instructions are impossible to follow.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • ---

The documentation is terrible. The device works great.

I got it working by following the instructions to install the Luma library (search for it on Github) and the following command from the terminal python demo.py --interface spi --display sh1106 I didn't realize that the screen was only 1 color. I was expecting it to have multiple colors. It wasn't clear to me from the description on this page.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Available in black only

Worked great with my PiZero and Pitrezor wallet

The recommended Adafruit display was on standby, so I took a chance on using this display for my Pitrezor wallet project with my Raspberry Pi Zero, and it worked great. I downloaded pitrezor os to the SD card and modified the pitrezor.conf settings below before installing in RPiZero:

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Protection

Works fairly well in single board computers

It's been working for me for a few days now. It is connected to the main node of my mini pi cluster. Setup was relatively easy. The instructions were good for the most part. Make sure you install all required libraries mentioned in the guide - there is a link in part of the guide pdf that you need to follow to install all the libraries. The instructions also don't quite cover where to find the I2C settings if you have a newer Pi. For a newer version of the Pi, you must first select "Interface…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Easy to install, found a great test script and got the demo working in just 10 minutes with a few modifications in the system, was able to build the demo easily. The demo showed code for three buttons and a joystick, making it easy to create the launch of another ZeroW project. Also managed to find a few more tweaks to tweak the system to display the console instead of running the program to display on the LCD, all within the first 30 minutes of installing and powering on to zero. If anyone…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
