Hi, and thanks for maintaining this forum. I've been looking through some of the previous posts and it looks amazing.
I'd like to put this out here, though. I'm building a model of the space pod from 2001: a Space Odyssey, and I want to get working display monitors in the cockpit. This means six tiny 16x16mm screens.
The problem is the ST7789-based 1.54" TFT LCD and Adafruit Feather solution I've tried is simply no good. The redraw is so low that bitmaps come rolling down like curtains. The movie displays switched from screen to screen instantly.
Thus I need either a slideshow with extremely rapid (perhaps buffered?) image loading, or full-on movie playback. I'd prefer the former. It's really not that complicated - I just want to display a bunch of previously created colour bitmaps in a loop, ideally with variable timing between each one.
Would anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this with a Teensy? I've seen the code by Max MC Costa, and that looks very interesting, but I'm not sure if it can do what I need. More than one LCD/OLED driven by the same microcontroller would of course be a great bonus!
Thanks for any tips!
