NotesThe installation of the hardware was straightforward, but setting up the Pi to display onto the new LCD didn’t go so well. It turns out this LCD, and many similar ones, ask you to enable the LCD via scripts in the LCD-show project. On my first attempt, I simply ran the relevant script (LCD35-show) as requested, but I ended up not being able to connect to my WiFi anymore!Unfurl
Notes"The screen mimics the sky, not the earth. It bombards the eye with light instead of waiting to repay the gift of vision. It is not simultaneously restful and lively, like a field full of flowers, or the face of a thinking human being, or a well-made typographic page. And we read the screen the way we read the sky: in quick sweeps, guessing at the weather from the changing shapes of clouds, of like astronomers, in magnified small bits, examining details. We look to it for clues and revelations more than wisdom. This makes it an attractive place for the open storage of pulverized information – names, dates, library call numbers, for instance – but not so good a place for thoughtful text."Unfurl
Notes"Device Not Configured ... DO doesn't work under dead mach bootstrap contexts such as exist in a reattached screen(1) session." So... don't try to run scripts that use hdiutil to mount DMGs from a reattached screen session. Doh.Unfurl
