Compromises were made, no choice really with the lack of info on how to get things done. It’s claimed you can scroll text on it, but I have yet to even find a hint as to how to do that. I did have a go at modifying an example for the Galactic Unicorn but could not get it to work. That’s mostly due to my lack of skill in Micro Python. Still IMHO it shouldn’t be this hard?
I have my panels the way I wanted them, and can display the minimal basic info I want to.
Time
Temperature
Humidity
Pressure
It still thinks they are 128 x 32 so I had to compensate in my code to get things where I wanted on screen.
