Hello, I'm working on a project with the tinyscreen+ and SD & audio board.
Mechanical: I have one complaint; the micro SD card slot on the shield board makes the SD card itself sits a bit wider than the footprint of the board which is kind of annoying. My recommendation would be to move the receiver slot more to the center of the board so the overall small square footprint is maintained with the card in place.
Electrically: Are there any unused digital/analog IOs I can tap into in the connector? Pinout diagrams for the connectors on the screen and SD/audio board connectors would be great. Fine soldering is no problem and I just need ideally 1 digital 1 analog input to the board.
Also whats the input voltage range? No space to use the USB to power it and battery is not good for my application so am going to splice in from external supply (12-14V stepped down with a little amazon buck converter).
Software: I am least familiar with software things so could use some tips here. Basically I want it to play a video on startup, then display a static image (or ideally display a voltage read from an analog input). No user interaction or button reading. Im going through the example code but cant quite figure out the sequence of how to call a specific video to play (seems like they are treated as numbered sequentially?), then load that video to buffer(?) then display the video with the functions provided in the example.
Thanks!
