Hi there back, well, cables is what connects the data between the MCU and the screen. The only way to eliminate them will be to create a board that will connect to it without cable just with a connector. I'm pretty sure if you search google you might find one ready like this.
Connect the screen to the correct pinout, you will need some input for the image, you can do it by adding an SD card reader maybe, or can have the info as hex file. For the rest there is an example in the example section of the library.
@@talofer99 I already tried it with this library, which is also the only one I could find to control this screen, but I can't get a photo on it, text and stuff works, but it doesn't work with photos and I can't find anything else online either then this with the nano and this screen
Hi, I can guess you asked if its possible to shoe a video on this screen ? The answer is yes, but in order to do so, you will need to have process that will get the video frame and convert it to a frame the screen is capable of showing - like jpg for example. I'm not sure what will be the frame rate with the need to process the video into images and then to transfer each image to the scree. The closest I know of is an example of animated gif shown on the screen. Hope this helps :)
I did the same thing , but it may have to do with the fact that the Arduino Nano I am using was hand soldered. I’m thinking about getting a new one to try again. I was also wondering if you could help me soon with uploading gifs and JpeGs like you did in the video
Thank you very much, It's nice to hear that the video helps out people ! :) It never happened, I got very busy at work for the last year and half, I do not (unfortunately) even get to make new videos.

Hello, great video. I got my display working but i would also like to control the backlight. I am using an esp32 to generate a PWM wave, it is 8 bits and on channel 0. I have tried varying frequencies but they all do the same thing, after a couple of minutes the display just turns off. Do you have any idea on what I can do or point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Hi, thank you very much. I actually did not look into the backlight at all. I got the setup on my table connected to an esp32 camera - and I stream the image to the screen . I will try to take a look at the back light and see what are the options. Did you follow a specific guide for it ? If so - drop me the link please :)
Hey, I might be a bit late but if I'm not mistaken the datasheet comments something along these lines.

@@MatteoMassaretto This display does not have an AV input. it has to get digital data to know what to display. It's basically a EGB LED matrix that you control with specific commands to tell it what pixel to light up in what color.
Hello.. great video, I was just wondering if you could guide me on how to use this screen on the raspberry pi 4? I have googled and tried myself but am struggling. I think I have connected it properly but the screen is just black so I guess it requires programming. Your help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you.
