Hello everyone!  
I currently have a pi 5 16gb of ram with a pironman 5 case running parrot OS. I was currently trying to run my TFT screen plugged into the side of my case? But I only want to use the screen to show an image or a Gif while keeping my HDMI unbothered while I work on tasks? Basically I want to have the TFT screen as a gif display? Is that possible?

It is possible, but you may want to consult your screen supplier. Ask them to provide examples of displaying git and images. If it’s a regular SPI TFT screen, you can refer to Adafruit’s examples to give it a try. Additionally, please note that RGB uses SPI for control. If you use an SPI screen, it will conflict with RGB, so it’s recommended to remove the RGB jumper cap on the IO Hat and disable the RGB function.

It’s the one that’s offered on sunfounders site. The rpi display v2?. What’s a good starting point to write a script for this:/

The RPi Display V2 is the official 7-inch touchscreen released by Raspberry Pi.

If you are using the 3.5-inch display from our official website, you will need to follow our tutorial to install the driver for the display to work properly.
