## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5613:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5613:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Adafruit's most recent [display breakouts have come with a new feature: an 18-pin "EYE SPI" standard FPC connector with flip-top connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/search?q=eyespi). This is intended to be a sort-of "[STEMMA QT](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-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.

Now you can connect to the displays, but what goes on the other side of the FPC? Here is one possibility - a simple breakout board that brings all the GPIO to 0.1" spaced header, for breadboarding usage. Each pin usage is labeled, and for most display purposes you only need the left half of the display for power and SPI connectivity.

Don't forget you'll also want an [18-pin EYESPI FPC cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/eyespi-cable-18-pin-50mm-long-flex-pcb-fpc-a-b-type.html).
