Attempting to setup a ST7735S SPI LCD panel on Picomite
Correct me if I'm wrong but from the manual I gleaned the process as:
At command prompt:
OPTION SYSTEM SPI CLKpin, MOSIpin, MISOpin
OPTION LCDPANEL ST7735S, OR, DC, RESET, CS [,offset]
In code:
SETPIN rx, tx, clk, SPI
I suspect all 3 of those lines refer to the same 3 pins but using different naming conventions and not necessarily in the same order.
Any help will be appreciated!

Displays are configured from the commandline and then they are 'permanent' until the options are reset.
the DC, RESET and CS pins referred to in the second OPTION are in addition to the SYSTEM SPI pins and all 6 pins are needed.
The display will use the SYSTEM SPI pins.

Thanks Jim
And with the last line, SETPIN rx, tx, clk, SPI I'm guessing that:
rx = MOSIpin
tx = MISOpin
clk = CLKpin

MOSI is 'Master Out Slave In' which I would call tx

As noted by Jim 'SETPIN rx, tx, clk, SPI' isn't needed as OPTION SYSTEM SPI takes care of that every time the Pico boots.
On many panels their Rx is labelled SDI and connects to MOSI = Tx on the Pico
and their Tx is labelled SDO and connects to MISIO = Rx on the Pico.
