2.25" graphical display for Pi Zero

Question

Does anyone know of (and have any experience) with a 2.25 inch graphical display for a Raspberry Pi Zero? A quick search of the forums didn't yield any results.

unfortunately there are nearly no screens that are exactly 2.25", however there are several 2.2" displays on listed ebay.com. I have purchased several of these(3x 2.2", 3x 2.8"), and all of them (so far) work with my Pi Zero 1.3

for wiring, use this handy instructable:

see step 3 for the wiring info.

the wiring is the same for most of the red ones from hong kong/china

just make sure by making sure they are the same format

hopefully this will help you.

For the setup, I use a screen over the mini hdmi, after wards the tft screen is the primary display(as it is the only display connected)

As of now, I have not utilized the micro sd card on my displays, and frankly i don't need more storage.

It is too much work for the type of projects that i have used the mini screens for (formatting it, soldering, troubleshooting, wiring, etc)

If you are interested in utilizing a microsd card slot, i would better recommend getting a breakout board rather than using the one built in on the display. It will make it a lot easier and you can mount the sd card wherever you desire.
