Pico Explorer Base - share SPI with display?

Support
1

Hi,

Forgive me if I’m missing something obvious, but how do I initialise the PicoGraphics library in MicroPython and allow access to the Pico Explorer Base LCD display, and also drive another peripheral attached to the SPI bus?

IE how can I get access to the SPI bus instance without locking the display library out?

Thanks in advance!

It’s doable, easy peasy on a Pi, takes a bit of work on a Pico though.
this may help.

EDIT: Not quite wide awake just yet, 5 AM here. I’ll hunt up what code I’m using a little latter after my morning walk and I’m wide awake. ;)
