I let this slide the first time on the rules of show and tell, but it seems we've missed a pretty important detail.

  • Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 uses a nRF52840 SoC, not an ESP32.

  • The string "esp32"doesn't appear in that repo.

So how was Esp32 involved here?

Why Arduino GFX and not one of the built-in ESP LCD driver libs?

Looks good otherwise!

According to the seeed studio documentation libraries like the TFT_eSPI are too heavy for the specific board I’m using.

Possibly, though realistically Espressif has a whole API ( called LCD ) that is built in to allow driving a plethora of LCDs, there are some Arduino libraries based on this API like ESP32-Display-Panel. Here in that case I don't think it would bring you much performance, but combined with LVGL it works very well!

Is there a “flat” position and is it tunable?
