Raspberry Pi Pico - MicroPython LVGL - Let's use a larger Display

This is video 31. The tenth video on MicroPython LVGL. This video researches larger displays (320x480) for the Pico using LVGL. The wiring is described. Details on changes to the device drivers are explained. Finally, a demonstration program and two updated programs are demonstrated. The code for the firmware, drivers and programs are at the GitHub site.

The hardware is a 2.4 inch Ili9341 LCD Display with integrated Touch. The display board is wired to the Raspberry Pi Pico2 (RP2350) USB board and tested. The drivers should work on the Pico/PicoW, but had not been tested yet. Although, the test bed is using LVGL 9.3, the drivers should work as well on LVGL 9.1.

All three platforms contain the MicroPython 1.24 language and the LVGL 9.3 API Library and are available at the GitHub site. The banners state MP 1.20
