I'm in the process of replacing the guts of a calculator with a Raspberry Pi Zero, and I was wondering how I would use the display (or even wire it up to the GPIO). I'm a complete noob when it comes to technical stuff like LCDs and all that, so I don't even know where to start. All I know is the controller is an ILI9335 but that doesn't really help me much
Some Googling (e.g. this forum discussion) suggests that the erstwhile fbtft (Github repo) supports the ILI9335; you'd just have to figure out the pin wiring, and then tell fbtft how it was connected (and of course to use the ILI9335 driver).

This is great but the problem lies within figuring out the wiring (I was hoping there would be a breakout board for a ribbon cable like this). I know how to solder, but it's gonna suck if I mess something up, especially since the contacts are really freaking close together
