Is this the screen that is suggested for use when building a tinypilot? I seem to remember Sean saying he is using a better screen now? Does anyone know which one?

I bought these and they have worked ok so far.

I have read things saying that the quality of these displays is generally not great. A display I bought from another seller had some black smudges along one edge, and I did have the display flicker one day while sailing, but that could have been a wiring problem (at that time I didn't have a PCB, everything was hotwired).

Sean suggested a jlx12864 , a 128x64 LCD

The other option is to run the hat.py script and pass the screen like "hat.py jlx12864" or hack the code also to force it if you don't have an eeprom. Otherwise it defaults to nokia because all the original tinypilot had nokia display with no eeprom.
