2.8 touch screen and Rpi ZW GPIO setup

Wed Feb 14, 2018 7:25 am

Good morning or good afternoon, does anyone know if its possible to reverse the pin assignments on the RPi zero. I got a 2.8 LCD touch screen the other day and I soldered the header on the top of the zero. Only to find out the manufacture expected the head to soldered on the bottom. it works I just have to use an old hard drive fourth pin cable to connect to it.

Thank you,

Depends, you could perhaps in software change some GPIOs used, but some (e.g. power) will not be able to be changed.

You could watch some de-soldering videos on YouTube to see if it's feasible in your case to remove the header and re-install it (or a new one).

Or keep that Zero as is, and get a new one to do the way you want it.
