Hello All!
I have just started my first GBZ build and to be honest this is my first contact with any kind of "electronic build". I am currently buying all the stuff that I need but i have problem with Screan.
In Poland this back up camera display that is easiest to use or any other adafruit displays is really hard to get (in resonable price). I have found many screens connected via GPIO but i have read here that theis performance is not so good.
Maybe there are someone from Poland here and can give some kind of tips what screan can i use?
This is one of GPIO displays that i can easli get:

Hello can you tell me how you put this screen in 5v and how you connected to your raspberry pi zero? Did you use a booster voltage or just modified the screen and connect to pi zero? Thank you

the screen doesnt need any mod to make it work on 5V, it works straight out of the box with 5V power...
people really need to start using the search function, most of these things have already been asked over and over again....
(the same info is just getting repeated, because people cant be bother to spend some time looking things up)
(but wanna start making something they have little experience or knowledge off, a recipe for disaster)
theres 7 pages on this screen (just in the support section)....

dont take this the wrong way....
but if you bothered to tale a look at the listing thoroughly, your doubts would have been alleviated....
i hope this removes your doubt....
