Here
I don't offhand, but there have been similar conversions on other threads. If you can find one, you might be able to figure it out from there or ask a targeted question of the user who figured it out. (Targeted questions like this are generally discouraged, but I think that it would be okay in this instance.)Does anyone have any idea how to hook this screen to a 5v?
how do i measure a single pinMeasure the voltage of the pin highlighted in green with a multimeter (of course being sure not to accidentally short anything while doing so)

With your multimeter set to read voltage and the screen turned on, place the red probe on that pin and the black pin on ground (where the black wire is coming into the board). Just be careful not to accidentally touch two of the pins together.how do i measure a single pin
it says 0.05, multimeter is at 9v rnWith your multimeter set to read voltage and the screen turned on, place the red probe on that pin and the black pin on ground (where the black wire is coming into the board). Just be careful not to accidentally touch two of the pins together.
The multimeter reading is 0.05 or 9? If it's 0.05 I don't think you're reading it correctly. Screen has to be powered on btwit says 0.05, multimeter is at 9v rn
Sorry to hear that, you really have to be careful when sticking a metal probe on a device that's turned on. It happens to the best of us. Hopefully it doesn't deter you too much, I'm sure you'll make something great very soon!welp screen short circuited.
i'm gonna take a break from this project, i'll come back to it later.
i've clearly underestimated what goes into making one of these
