“It is a good piece of hardware. But the software implementation (MicroPython) lacks. It should have been designed with 256 colors as now, it consumes 90% of all the RAM that small microcontrollers have just for its frame buffer.
320x240x2 is 153Κ. Pico running Micropython has 160-180K free, making this board difficult to use in actual projects, other than demos.”
Ahoy Ioannis!
We've been working on some experimental ST7789 drivers that should improve the RAM situation, if you want to give them a go? https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/pull/373
“Reasonable size display with good details for setup and programming.
The buttons although useful would be better placed slightly further away from the display edge and taller. This would allow better ease of use if mounted in a box. Perhaps even solder pads to enable extension buttons to be fitted. Mounting holes would help.”
“Nice resolution small display.
Wish you could provide a simple to download demo of the display.
Your 240X135 display had a good demo that was easy to download and install on the Pico.
This worked well for showing the display capabilities to a client, without taking a lot of time.
Could you do the same for the 320X240 display?”
