DIY TFT Display

Variations

There are 2 variations of the screen placement.

• Pins on right side of the board (OshPark and Beta)
• Pins on left side of the board (Official Production)

These are only physical rotations of the TFT placement, no other electro mechanical differences exist

Depending on the board you have, the only impact will are

• config.txt
• /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft.conf
