Noob question - Gearbest screen

Post by dongilles » Sat Dec 24, 2016 8:45 am

Hello all,

I am going to try and build a gameboy zero. This will be the first time that I try something like this but it seems fun and I will learn alot in the proces.

So I ordered a lot of stuff I need the only thing left is the screen. I want to buy the Gearbest screen (http://www.gearbest.com/development-boa ... 29447.html) But I cant find a guide how to connect it to the Pi Zero. Is there someone who can help me with this?

To switch it into 5v, look at the wiki
Black to any ground, red on any 5v
Yellow in the tv hole on the pi, like on the first wermy s guide
White to anything, remove it

Droopy is right, check the wiki on how to convert to 5v. Also here is a helpful thread:
