Adafruit's QT Py boards are a great way to make very small microcontroller projects that pack a ton of power - and now Adafruit have a way for you to add a small, colorful, and bright display to any project.
Adafruit's most recent display breakouts have come with a new feature: an 18-pin "EYE SPI" standard FPC connector with flip-top connector. This is intended to be a sort-of "STEMMA QT for displays" - a way to quickly connect and extend display wiring that uses a lot of SPI pins. In this case Adafruit need a lot of SPI pins, and Adafruit want to be able to use long distances, so they go with an 18-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC.
With such a slim and flexible cable, its a perfect matching for Adafruit's QT Py boards to make extra smol microcontroller boards with big bold colorful displays or power-sipping E-Ink.
Don't forget you'll also want an 18-pin EYESPI FPC cable. And of course one of Adafruit's EYESPI displays too - look for the EYESPI logo on the back to know you've got one that can clip in.
We also have 'sometimes used' pins that can be re-configured/disabled by cutting a solder jumper
There's also two through-hole solder pads for extra pins that are often considered optional and Adafruit didn't have any more IO to spare. If you aren't using any of the 4 pins above or the I2C port, you could wire these two pins with jumper wires as you desire.
Adafruit include some header that you can solder to your QT Py. You can also pick up an Itsy Bitsy short female header kit to make it removable but compact, you'll just need to trim down the headers to 7 pins long.
QT Py, display and EYESPI cable are not included.
