Many times before we've seen lengthy threads where someone wouldn't show us photos or real info. Then when a picture finally did get posted, the problem turned out to be something "easy" like a missing ground wire or those breadboards where the power rails are split in the middle.
No matter how compatible some other device may be, these sorts of "simple" problems come up all the time. Everyone does it. I do it. The difference for experts is we have lots of tools and experience for troubleshooting, and with that experience comes intuition that something which isn't immediately working is most likely just not connected correctly. Without that sort of experience, many people just assume the thing which didn't immediately work must be defective or broken or incompatible, and those assumptions mentally block them from effectively troubleshooting or learning.
That's why it's so critically important to say exactly what is really being connected, and to show photos or real info about how the wires are really connected.
