Can the 1.54" TF be a desktop display? Also, did I kill it?

Post by PiCorder4mation »

I've got the 1.54" 240x240 Wide Angle TFT LCD Display with MicroSD - ST7789. Didn't really check too hard before getting it, so I don't know: could it be used with a Pi Zero W as a desktop display, or at least to display whatever I have running on it at the time? I want to set it up as part of a sort of phone/couple of sciencey items/misc display thing.

Haven't been able to get anything showing up on it so far; it was flashing white at startup early on, but stopped doing even that. I may have slightly had one or two wires going to the wrong thing via the breadboard. So it's entirely possible that it's kaput.

What do you think? Thanks
