Hey ya'll!
How can you connect Helder's latest screen (part of the v2.1 combo that just went out) to his older v2 PCB. That PCB does not have a ribbon connector (as I was aware when I purchased it). I'm just wondering if it's possible? Can I wire the screen directly to the PCB test pads? Or do I solder wires from each of the tiny pads where the ribbon connector would go on both the screen and the PCB?
Or just get a different screen?
Also, How do I know which wire goes where? I guess, I'm asking how do I trace it?
Thank you all in advance!! Best community ever.

If you have the v2 board and a v2.1 screen just wire the test points which are labeled pretty clearly on both boards to the matching one. Example LED to LED, GND to GND, etc.
