Re^4: ST7789V2 LCD Controller

this is wrong

Care to explain what is wrong and why?

The RaspberryPi and the display work together...the C demo program shows this to be the case. There are Python examples that drive the display (I haven't tried these but I've not seen lots of people complaining they don't work).

If it can be done in Python, surely it can be done in Perl...

Or did you mean something else is wrong? Perhaps you feel I am using the wrong language?

BTW - I didn't set out to use this device. I was gifted one and felt it could be an interesting challenge to use it for a useful project.

The assertion that the Pi Zero doesn't have HDMI is wrong. The reason this is wrong is ... well, because it does! Here's a quote from the official page (my emphasis):

Like the original Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W features a mini HDMI port, a micro USB port, and a micro USB power port.

"Care to explain what is wrong and why?"

I quoted a very specific part of your post and said it was wrong. It's wrong because the product has HDMI.

Sorry...I was obviously too focussed on the display and not the RaspberryPi

I'm unsure why I said it didn't have HDMI...I built this one up headless, but I have another RaspberryPi Zero that has had a monitor attached using HDMI. A senior moment from me...
