Replacement for the discontinued Adafruit Qualia Bare Driver Board for the LP097QX1 display

[trose-neuro]

Hi all!

A hardware question: sadly the Adafruit Qualia Bare Driver Board for the LP097QX1 display has been discontinued. We still have a few but are looking for alternatives. Have you found a readily available replacement?

These should be equivalent, but we fail to get consistent responses from the vendor

This one I found - but did not order/test

Same for this one:

We like the original adafruit driver since it exposes a PWM pin for screen blanking - so a equivalent replacement would be very useful.

best wishes
