It uses I2C, I have no idea what the protocol is yet. I need to find their docs or look through their arduino firmware
Some kind of defines:
Rough functional code here?
Update: I have some keyboard stuff working here.
It's some kind of SPI display?
They have the ST7365P doc in their repo: https://github.com/clockworkpi/PicoCalc/blob/master/ST7365P_SPEC_V1.0.pdf
But their LVGL demo has an ILI9488 thing copied into it? https://github.com/clockworkpi/PicoCalc/tree/master/Code/picocalc_lvgl_graphics_demo
It's a 320x320, 16-bit? display
The picomite patch has a lot of interesting information: https://github.com/clockworkpi/PicoCalc/blob/ebdc77ad4a78b291b7b34be3d334f90fee3dddf3/Code/PicoMite/PicoMite.patch#L937
It claims the display type is ILI9488, has some pin mapping, and what appears to be a bunch of I2C and Display setup/operation commands
It also seems to configure the I2C speed to 10khz ??? - https://github.com/clockworkpi/PicoCalc/blob/ebdc77ad4a78b291b7b34be3d334f90fee3dddf3/Code/PicoMite/PicoMite.patch#L976
