Confirm the data interface matches your host board.
Module pins: VCC, GND, SDA, SCL. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.
Waveshare makes up the large majority of parts here and often sells the same panel twice: once as a raw display needing a separate driver board, and once as a module or HAT+ with the SPI controller attached.
