Im super super excited to test this beauty! It’s a new 3.5” 640x480 IPS LCD. It’s super sharp and clear. These photos i took from my iPhone doesn’t really do justice.

Nice !
54 pins ? compatible with your DPI adapter ?

Yes 54 pins and works great with my dpi adapter.

Ooh, that is sexy.

Won't work for too long, the built in MCU that initializes the screen will be removed going on in the latest batches. An MCU will be needed to make it work if you get the newer ones.

Hi Helder! Any reason why the builtin MCU will be removed?

If it’s for Raspberry Pi then you can just initialize the lcd via spi like what the Pimoroni Hyperpixel is doing.

Sorry, but not telling us where you're getting these is illegal...

Haha.. There’s a few of these 640x480 lcd on Alibaba. I bought mine from https://eurotechnology.m.en.alibaba.com ... s_minisite.

The manufacturer claims it's for stability but more than likely it's to save on cost and manufacturing defects due to the MCU being soldered to the ribbon.

I doubt this is going to work without an MCU to initialize it through it's SPI pins.
