Cool intro to the Pico
You will need to get the latest example code for this on the waveshare GitHub but it is there and works. Once my dev environment was set up, it took all of about a minute to compile the example and load it into the Pico. Shows a few splash screens and will draw things based on pico pin inputs if you hook them up. Also it looks like the display acts like the LED on the normal boards...backlight on and off for LED on and off. So far so good with this board and display.

Neat but very little documentation
It's a very nice Pico clone, but there is no example code on how to interact with the built in lcd. That being said, I'm still pretty green when dealing with hobby electronics so one with more experience may make better use of it.

Works well but can use a bit more documentation
After conducting several searches, I was able to find enough information to create a few CircuitPython examples. The examples are now on GitHub in the richteel/Waveshare-RP2040-LCD-0.96 repository. Waveshare has a wiki with some information, but it is most helpful for C, C+, and MicroPython. It is a cool product, but it is not good enough to just make a cool product for the Maker Community. You also need to include enough documentation to allow folks to be successful quickly. One con to this product is that the battery connector is not a common one used in the Maker Community. It is a MX1.25 connector rather than an JST connector. The commonly used JST battery connector has the pins separated by 2mm. The board has a connector with the pins spaced at 1.25mm. I'm unclear what the difference is between JST and MX connectors. I'm not certain but I believe either may work as I see the same connector on Amazon named MX1.25 and JST 1.25 or micro JST.
