@alowhum thank for the that info . i bought the wrong kinda screen . i will buy another type and try again

hello i bought the same screen i was able to get it to display the images it provided and converting 1 of my own and having them display through usb with my laptop and the programs they provided . on my pi zero w i was able to run 1 script, it went through a sequence of images like a line , box circle then spotpier . i cant figure out how i did that . I could not get it to work the second time i tried the next day . I tried to follow the directions again with no luck . is there a way to play vlc player through the TXD RXD . If you have any info i would really appreciate it , i am stuck and have very little knowledge of code and uart devices .
