Mounting the (non-Adafruit) screen upside down?
Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2019 1:50 am
I got one of the non-Adafruit screens we've talked about and noticed, when I have it centered in the case, that the bottom bezel comes down into where the controller board and X-Y buttons are. I feel like they won't be able to coexist like this, so I got the idea of mounting the screen upside down (and modifying config files to rotate the screen 180 degrees).
This puts the large bottom bezel up at the top and allows me to vertically center the screen without overlapping the controller board. However, this puts the display's ribbon cable coming out of the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Will that adversely affect the effectiveness of the mounting bracket built in guide 3 or does it really matter? Will that affect the rest of the build at all?
I got the screen from Amazon seller "ATian Direct." Did anyone else run into this? What did you end up doing? Thanks!
