Nice!

But does that actually come with an LCD screen? The main photo only shows the controller/driver board. Seems way too cheap?

How long did shipping take? And does it definitely run on 5v does the controller board fit inside a DMG case?

So the price you paid didn't include a screen?

Got my second screen, set it up for my pi2 project. This one those has a 4 color little icon in the upper right hand corner that will not go away. I checked the settings and did not see anything that would make it go away.

For this time, I only soldered the CBSV1 though. didnt do anything with CBSV2.

thoughts?

I believe that's the advise from the pi saying it has not enough power.

Ah, good to know. I will move it from the Pi 5v GPIO PIN to the powerboost and see if that makes a difference.

i picked the adafruit screen up, because that's what was in wermy's guide im following. however, this forum has been extremely helpful with showing alternative screens with better resolution. adafruit has most of the stuff you need to order that you mentioned
