Hi, being new to the Pi I would like to know if the 16x2 LCD screen is compatible with the A+.
Is there anything else I would have to buy to make it work.
Are ther any cases that will fit the screen and Pi together to make a neat unit with access to the push buttons?
Regards… Colin

Ahoy!
If you can wait, keep an eye on our shop next week and we should have something waaaaaaaay better for you ;)
We’ve got a new-and-shiny on its way, which will have a top for the Pibow Coupe to make exactly the neat unit your after.
In the meantime, here’s a little teaser:
