How do I connect the GIGA Display Shield to the GIGA R1 WiFi? The GIGA Display Shield connects via the middle headers (J5 and J6) on the GIGA R1 WiFi. Attach the shield from the bottom, so the top of the GIGA R1 WiFi remains free for additional shields.

Do I retain access to all pins when the display is connected? Yes, even with the display connected you retain access to all 54 pins on the top of the board.

Is an external power supply required for the shield? No, the GIGA Display Shield does not require an external power supply; it is powered directly through the connection.

Which cameras are compatible with the shield? The GIGA Display Shield is fully compatible with 20-pin DVP cameras from Arducam, such as the OV7675. For more information, visit the Arducam catalog of compatible cameras.

In which direction is the camera connector oriented? The pinout of the camera connector is configured so that compatible Arducam models point in the same direction as the screen, which corresponds to selfie mode for a seamless and user-friendly experience.
