the "if we can port it to the constrained pico we can make it run on any mcu" bit made me wat. the pico is a pretty large mcu really.
i get displays are not the realm of single digit cents 4 bitters or something. but i can think of other mcus more constrained w probably still enough flash and fast enough SPI bus and dma that would be a much better showing.
i guess i feel the pico is overkill, but at any rate this is mostly unfair because its not the toolkits target market in the first place
- MrBuddyCasino 4y agoIts weird they don't mention RAM and code sizes. If they require just two lines (240 x 2 Bytes x 2) thats less than 1K for the pixels, but the code size can't be that small if they compile in fonts etc. I feel people that don't usually work mit MCUs think a Pico2040 or ESP32 is a crazy constrained environment, when those are really rather luxurious. I'm not sure how much it matters - maybe its like complaining about Elektron while Slack (deservedly) succeeds.
