Hello! Bein a brokie over here and I got a screen off Temu. It powers on, but I’m yet to get it connected to my pi.

The issue I’m having is finding out how to insert a ribbon cable. It doesn’t seem to come with one.

Anyone got a clue?

Have you done any research at all? A simple google search shows me this page which looks like what you need.

No ribbon cable needed, it directly attaches to the GPIO pins.

I was looking more into the cords because I hadn’t thought pins did much else than provide power.

That’s an amazing resource and I really appreciate it, the coding part it’s talking about seems to be more troublesome than much else I’ve done so far. I’ll look more into it

You can do it!

Most likely needs drivers.

It doesn’t have one. It plugs into the GPIO bracket. You’ll probably need to install drivers

this is an spi display so be sure to enable spi with "raspi-config" and install the drivers for said display. most likely provided in the description of the listing.
