I’m using a RPi Pico to make up an PID controller for an old espresso machine. At the end of the day, the pico will be connected to a IC sensor, PSU and a relay. But while I’m prototyping I’m using a breadboard and will need to add at least one pot and a display temporarily while I tune the PID. (to display P,I,D and ideally a plot of the temperature). I bought the Waveshare Pico LCD 1.14 ![Screenshot 2022-11-09 at 11.02.44 am](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/c/c71214ea908db97e0afebfd1c748619c2a68a746.jpeg) > **[Waveshare 1.14inch LCD Module for Raspberry Pi Pico 240x135 (65K Colours)](https://core-electronics.com.au/waveshare-1-14inch-lcd-module-for-raspberry-pi-pico-240x135-65k-colours.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmaibBhCAARIsAKUlaKT8P67WtXP4Az4sT1eJ_btscaj6uoQ28sO1Ton3kmkcUZ5epjQROvUaAt6nEALw_wcB)** > > Small form factor colour display for your Raspberry Pi Pico. My pico doesn’t have soldered headers (but I could get one with, or solder as required) The display HAT seems to take up all the pins on the pico, leaving none for the other connections I will need. I don’t need to use the buttons on the display. So to my question: What are the bare minimum connections I can use if I want to use jumper cables to connect the display to the pico temporarily? Or should I have bought a different display? Thanks in advance, Andrew ---

Ok, found this info, so should be good now. ![Pico-R3-Pinout copy](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/9/95bbdab0061082b75b0aaabf4d459c771afaa928.jpeg) > **[Pico LCD 1.14 - Waveshare Wiki](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-LCD-1.14)** ---

Hi Andrew, Welcome to the forum 🙂 Glad you were able to locate the pinout via the manufacturer’s wiki. That’s generally the best resources out there for Waveshare gear. I noticed you included the photo for the Pico but not the display pinout, I’ve included it below for anyone else who follows up on the topic later. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/0/0f11b2539487f57e848fa1f1f8666cf4a420fcdb.jpeg) Let us know how you get on with the PID controller project, would love to see some photos once you’ve got it up and running. ---

Thanks, Trent - I accidentally uploaded the wrong image from my desktop! I’m struggling now with installing the package for the display. I’m on a Mac, and when I open terminal (on the Mac, I presume it’s meant to be, rather than on the pico?) it’s not recognising the commands. Anyway, I’ve downloaded the packages onto my Mac from the website - ![Screenshot 2022-11-09 at 2.48.57 pm](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/b/bb3fc9f56a1e7427a0e69cb69f74d17de546cfcc.jpeg) Now I’m not sure how to get them onto the pico. I’m using Thonny. Is this something you know how to do? Andrew ---

Hi Andrew, The Windows instructions in the wiki should work for a Mac UNLESS you have the latest Mac version which came out last week and broke the process. You can find the Windows instructions here: > **[Pico LCD 1.14 - Waveshare Wiki](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Pico-LCD-1.14#Python_codes)** If it gives you “error code 100093” then you’ll probably need to read this article which has a workaround. > **[The Ventura problem - Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/the-ventura-problem/)** > > A bug in macOS Ventura for Pico users - and a workaround
