Review on Components Raspberry 1 28Inch Display Interface by Jared Bradford

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The first ad and the exchange did not help.

I ordered this mainly because of the fast next day delivery. I think it's too expensive, but I wanted something fast. The first device's display was blank - I could see the backlight turning on and off, but there was no display. The example program hello.py showed the position of the joystick in the shell, but didn't show it. The Pi Pico seems to work, but not the display. The manufacturers responded fairly quickly via email the next day with a simple procedure I followed: 1. Hold down the BOOTSEL button and plug in the USB stick, then install micropython uf2 File.2. Now hold the BOOTSEL button again and plug in the USB connector. Now install the Firmware.UF2.3 file. Now open the hello.py.4 file. Select the interpreter in thonny ide as Raspberry pi pico.5. Now click the Run button (green play button) to run it. Still not appearing. I received a replacement a few days later and it's the same - no ad. I will give the manufacturer SB Components a chance to help me fix this problem, but if there is no solution I will return it and avoid them in the future. Just take a look.

Pros
  • Onboard header to connect directly to Raspberry Pi Pico
Cons
  • Blank
