How do we tell which screen was delivered? I ordered the higher resolution screen for the circuit sword but the ribbon cable on mine looks like the standard screen based on the pictures. I'm still in the process of building mine and don't want to glue it together yet....
The standard screen has lcq035nc111 written on the back. I can’t remember what the model number for the 640x480 is. You really should assemble the electronics and switch them on before putting everything in the shell, follow Kite’s guide on the GitHub wiki and run the tests. Much better to find a problem before. Assuming you do have the 640x480 screen you’ll need to edit config files to make it work.

The 640x480 is only compatible with the Circuit Sword

Kite, I sent a couple emails. I haven't received any shipping notification.
I've been having issues receiving emails the last week, it looks to be fixed now, any emails sent during this time i didn't receive :( so could you try again please?

Thanks for the response! It is definitely the standard screen. I'll have to contact Kite.

Nope. They’re Wermy’s work, you can order them from him (he’s adding them to the sudomod shop I believe) or you can download the stl files from his Patreon and print your own. You can also use Kite’s Shield pcb as the drill guide - it has pinholes in it to mark where to drill. Harder to keep the drill straight that way though.

did anyone get their shipment from bluish squirrel? I got a covid delayed shipment message late march and haven't heard anything since. I don't think I ever got charged though
update... i DID get charged by bluishsquirrel and I have attempted to contact them via their messaging service on their webpage (facebook messenger) with no response.

I still have not received my lenses... and my tracking number doesn't work. Does anyone know bluishsquirrel? or how I can get a hold of them. Requesting assistance... thank you!

edit again! bluish squirrel just refunded me. No explanation though. I'm going to risk it and put another order through. I really need the glass lens!

How long does the “Shipping” period last?

Eager to get a hold of mine soon after seeing those pics!
Check the tracking email that you were sent to your PayPal address, if you didn't get it then send me a message. Just a heads up that I'm having issues with sending out replies to emails, this should be fixed in a couple of days :!:
No tracking received. Message sent. Thanks.

He specifically says "The kit from Kite does come with a drill guide." and shows an fr4 plate with drill hole.
I guess that was only meant for wermy.

Thank you. And would a 605068 battery size work on the shield?

Question... for the analog stick for Circuit Shield, will a Sony PS Vita PCH-2000 PSV 2000 work?
