Having never used python before and not really sure what the capabilities of the Tufty 2040 are, I decided rather than waste a lot of time I thought I would just ask a question. Is it possible to display a jpeg image and text (possibly below the image) on the display of the tufty 2040?
The Tufty Micro Python examples are here,
There are display.png examples you could have a look at. I have a tufty 2040. I display text and some graphics mine.
If you never used Python before, I would really recommend that you start Python programming on your PC. There are many good tutorials available on the net. Programming Python on physical devices like the Tufty2040 does have new and additional challenges, but without the fundamentals about Python you will “waste a lot of time” as you put it.
