(NB: the finished boards are little more refined)
and avoid the need for wires, allowing you to use these screens in more confined areas (you still have to allow for the board)

this was originally designed to work with a RPi3 but works just as well with a Pi Zero, which is what i gonna be using them with....

solder pads (like the MintyPi boards) were a option i was think of implementing in these, but opted against as this is a more universal way of attaching the boards
this board was specifically design to be used in a Game Boy Zero build
if you have the Pi Zero positioned where you can access the SD card via the contrast opening you'll only need a short ribbon cable (around 40mm/4cm) without the need to have kinks or bends....

The boards
https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/IzZ86uBr (Universal board)
https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/5iWcsjl9 (Game Boy Zero)
https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/1tm0wj1M (forward ribbon cable board)
https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/6WirTrF6 (reversed ribbon cable board)
the reversed board may be need if you have kinks or bends on the ribbon cable
you have a board for a forward/straight ribbon cable (8 Pin 1.0mm Pitch)
and another if you plan on using a reversed ribbon cable (8 Pin 1.0mm Pitch)
(this is based on if you use bottom contact ribbon connectors)
(boards that connect to the Pi need to be used with this setup script https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2312)
other bits
Ribbon Cable
Custom Lenght Ribbon Cable
1.0mm Pitch FFC/FPC Flat Cable Connector
0.8mm Pitch FFC/FPC Flat Cable Connector
(the 0.8mm pitch connector for the screen isnt needed if you solder the screen to the board)
this board has been designed to work with this script
https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 773#p60709
(it claims to achieve 60FPS)
(and may only be suitable/compatible with a Pi3)

NB: GPIO Pin 18 (BCM24) & GPIO Pin 25 (GND) are not in use and can still be utilised for other things
OSHPARK LINK

you can use this with either of the screen boards (Universal/Game Boy Zero)
and has been designed to be used with a forward/straight ribbon cable
