Can one of you guys explain why we need the second ground, I guess you are calling it the composite ground? I have this same board and I do not have the second ground hooked up. The screen is working but there is a lot of static and flickering. This is how I currently have it wired up. I have 3 other screens that remain black though.

Re: Help with BW screens and RPi0
Well the driver board needs ground but the pi also needs ground on the composite. The cable that comes with the screen already ties the grounds together. If you are using your own solution like i did, you have to account for this and use 2 grounds

Re: Help with BW screens and RPi0
Alright using a composite cable I was able to get 2 of my 3 screens working. I have only tried wiring things up like the image from the wiki. I will try your solution tonight.
Re: Help with BW screens and RPi0
My solution seems to make the screen run pretty hot. Does this board get very hot with the other technique in the wiki?onesojourner wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 1:30 pmAlright using a composite cable I was able to get 2 of my 3 screens working.

Re: Help with BW screens and RPi0
So far mine are only slightly warm. I have only ran them for about 5 minutes at a time though.dbak85 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2017 5:24 amMy solution seems to make the screen run pretty hot.

Re: Help with BW screens and RPi0
unfortunately I damaged that board (broke the ribbon cable) and got another one that works straight off 5v.zeroboy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 12:01 am
