pwnagotchi tft display made in china
Following this guide LCD displays phwagotchi just for few seconds before login prompt: i"ve solved using the autologin features (use raspi-config) and changing the line to add to /etc/rc.local as follow:
Having used it for a few months now I still can"t believe how clear and sharp the screen is! There are sadly no controls for brightness, colour, saturation or contrast but everything displayed looks very nice and accurate.
As I"m using this with Windows, I"ve not needed to look through the included driver utility disc and not tried the resistive touchscreen so I can"t comment on those. Windows just detects it as a second display and lets me extend my desktop. No drivers needed. The box contains the LCD screen, a HDMI bridge connector that neatly connects the HDMI socket on the top of the screen to the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi when mounted together. Standoffs for mounting are also supplied plus a plastic stylus.
Ordered the pwnagotchi kit for my raspberry pi 0W arrived very well packaged in 2 hard plastic cases, came with all screws + extra screws and wires, complete 3d printed case, 2 lil instruction cards for screwing it together, a keychain, tf reader/miniHDMI/otf usb, and the santa hat. The only real issue I had was it took over 2 months to arrive to the USA, seller said it was because the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday but I ordered lots of other items from China right before/after Christmas and they all arrived on time so I think they just forgot to ship it but at least everything arrived & works well. Last they do always respond to emails just slowly always within 1 week though so just gotta be patient. Ended up paying $130 for my pwnagotchi build after completed doubt you’ll find 1 cheaper. Thank you.
Worked great for me. Pretty simple to set up the software and to physically attach the unit to the Pi. I like that you can easily swap out the battery for a bigger or smaller capacity one, or if the original fails. The unit supplies plenty of power - enough for a small 4 inch display, a fan on 5v and a couple of usb peripherals including an SSD. I only have one negative on this product and it was for a very specific use scenario (some of the PiSugar software can conflict with other programs making some of the functionality of the PiSugar, unavailable). Overall though, decent product.
The huge factor for this was getting the pwnagotchi working. I did open the waveshare screen, and saw that it had the pwngotchi face on it and didn"t think much about it, and I plugged in the SD card (already had the setup files) and with the pisugar charged by me I turned on the Pi and nothing happened with the screen.
Arrived in US in ~3 weeks, as expected, very well packaged and intact. Easy hardware and software install, up and running in minutes. Running a RPi Zero 2W with 1.3" TFT display, interfaced with a Ham radio as a DigiPi, I see power ticking down at about 10% per hour. An excellent bit of technology!
Work really nice, have it together with my pwnagotchi. Delivery time a little bit long that keeping me from another order. For the rest nice product, nice manual and connection material and package nice in a plastic box.
Honestly I enjoy building things from scratch and had planned on purchasing the parts separately and assembling my own Pwnagotchi, but this was a better deal than buying them all separately and all the included extras made it an instant buy for me. I was not disappointed!!
Ordered two (for pwnagotchis), and i bothered the hell out of questions on their support email and they answered every single of my noobs questions, even those not related to their product.
I purchased after I wrote them. they will respond usually between 1&3 days with a very short and brief sentence. But product showed up turned it on and it started grabbing pcaps. For people who may be new to pwnagotchi and or Linux and or script. this will be a challenge. seller will not be giving any suggestions. go to Reddit and get beat up their. I do have problems connecting to my Pwnagotchi via ssh as my laptop won"t see it unless I fully reset my network connections on my laptop. But this has nothing to do with seller. just my lack of experience. will be buying another from this seller as soon as I learn how to use current one.
