 So... after thinking a bit, I ordered the 10.3" 16-bit display in addition, since it allows text to be anti-aliased. The end result is way smoother. It would've been possible to just live with the 1-bit display constraint, but I decided to use that screen for something else in the future.

 Fortunately for me, some great minds had already [thought the same](https://twitter.com/faassen/status/1375922965062238208?lang=en). I connected the controller using USB cables, built the C code in the Raspberry PI, and tried to clear the display as a test. It worked! What a relief. USB cables were _so much_ smaller than the 40-pin GPIO cables and headers.
 
-Now that I was confident about the USB-strategy, I needed to get rid of the GPIO header of the IT851 controller. The chip was still too tall for the frame with it attached. Fortunately, Helsinki has an amazing library _(more like a library, hacker space, gaminb cafe, and place to hangout combined together)_ where I could go and desolder the header _for free_.
