That display would not work because it uses an I2C interface. You would want one with a SPI interface. Here are some options:
(Seems narrow, but could work) - http://www.hiletgo.com/ProductDetail/2157364.html
This one will work if you can source it (beskar) - https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/lcd-oled/lcd-oled-3/1.3inch-lcd-module.htm
This one will also work (pre-beskar) - https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/lcd-oled/lcd-oled-3/1.14inch-lcd-module.htm
Thank you so much Breazile! I was able to get the Waveshare 1.3in LCD display you linked for the beskar version. Would you happen to have a wiring diagram for that screen?
Same as the Beskar LCD wiring on my page here: https://github.com/Breazile/MandoPuter
Signals are the same, and here is how you map the names compared to the Adafruit LCD
VCC = VIN GND = GND DIN = SI CLK = SCK CS = TCS DC = D/C RST = RST BL = Lite
Thanks again, you're the best!
I was able to get it working, thanks again! One more question regarding the Mandoputer, on this display it has the same ports on the top and bottom. I used the included wiring harness that connects to the bottom, but the top row make it just a little too tall to fit properly into the Great Ape bracer. Is it possible to cut off the top row of ports?
Glad it worked.
I have not tried it, but it does not look like it would affect it. I would be careful not to cut too close to the flex cable.
Ok, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. I can always just get a new screen if it's not successful. I appreciate the help. You haven't, by chance, started any work on a Whistling Bird project, have you? That's my next project.
I started it, but then had other things going on. I have the Amban rifle to finish, and I'll probably revisit the birds this Fall when I work on my Mando setup some more.
Good luck with the display.
I figured out parts of it, but couldn't get it to work together like I wanted. Display worked like a charm! I carefully cut the top off with a dremel, (thankfully the board is already separated along the ribbon cable) I powered it up, and it's perfect.
Thanks again for all your help!

I was just wondering if a wiring diagram would be possible for a Raspberry Pico RP2040 and this screen ( http://www.hiletgo.com/ProductDetail/2157359.html )?
