oooh more projects!!! i did have a look on ebay and could find a few for reasonable money. They are on the edge of being too small, and the button layout is a bit restrictive

Hello,

Sorry, I am extremely new with this kind of stuff and have questions about the screen.
How exactly do you solder it onto the Pi Zero, and do you have to like program the Pi and stuff im order for it to work?

Thank you!
Jonas
