Not out of the box, but unlike the Adafruit screen, it only requires 1 wire to make it run on 5v . And no huge difference in image quality? Plus more than half the price and afaik zero availability problems? Yeah definitely a superior option. No clue with image quality comparison but they both have...

Comparing it Popcorn's diagram it looks like the Ground (G) next to the 5V needs to be hooked up to the third pin down on the left hand side where the emergency rese...

What is the safest/best way to solder all of my ground (or power wires) wires to a single point on a board? Use a distribution joint to a single wire, then solder that wire to the board?
