  1. Hi,
    Where does the av1 (white) from the screen go?
    How are you connecting a 2nd ground from the screen pcb? Isn’t it common, can I just loop it from where ever?

    1. You can find the screen wiring guide at https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/screen-wiring-guide-for-game-boy-controller-v2-0-v2-1-v1-1/. Just find any common gnd from the pcb screen and connect to any gnd on the board.

  2. Is there a way of controlling the brightness on this screen?

    1. No sorry there’s no way to control screen brightness.

  3. Hello do you know a screen that doesn’t use AV interface?

    On my tinkerboard I have only HDMI,MIPI DSI or SPI.

    the HDMI screen I use is to gib to feet correctly in the DMG case.

    1. The only hdmi screen i know is the KEDEI 3.5″ screen.

  4. Can you show a wiring diagram for a pi 3b

    1. For pi 3b the yellow or white wire from the screen goes to PP24 on the back side of the pi 3b.
