Hello,
I would like to install two such displays in a figure as eyes. To do this, I would have to rotate the displays 90 degrees, once clockwise and once counterclockwise, so that the connections face the center. Can they be configured this way ? Is this possible with one control board, or do I need a separate one for each display ?
Or can I also control the displays with another circuit board, such as the Raspberry Pi Pico ?

thanks and best Regards
Markus
I haven’t built this exact setup yet, but from what I’ve seen, most small displays can be rotated in software (e.g., via orientation settings), so mounting them 90° in opposite directions should work if the driver supports it. Running two displays off one control board depends on the interface—some controllers handle multiple SPI/I2C devices, but others need separate boards. It kind of reminds me of FNF , where the boyfriend has to handle multiple opponents in sync—your controller just needs to keep both “eyes” perfectly coordinated.
This setup sounds like a fun challenge for a display project! To answer your questions, most modern displays, especially smaller ones, can indeed be rotated 90 degrees in their configuration settings, so clockwise and counterclockwise should be perfectly feasible. You'll likely find that a single control board can manage both displays, especially if they are similar models, though this can depend on the specific board's output capabilities. For example, playing Basket Random on dual rotated screens could be an interesting experience!
