Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

@Peter,

Thanks for the overview.
It may need a bit of tuning. Example: I can use Backlight in mt RP2040 GEEK, which the overview says I can not.

Is it fair to expect a non-pico board such as a RP2040 GEEK, RP2040-Zero, YD-RP2040 etc. to always behave as expected? :)

Thanks for that Peter, it will be useful.

Can you ask Claude to rethink the STAR command "Star shape drawing"

@Mick,

The GEEK uses the normal microcontroller picomite image (non VGA). That picomite image supports a variety of LCD panels (also the GEEK). And these LCD panels have BACKLIGHT. So it is a mistake that the microcontroller image, according that list, does not support the BACKLIGHT command. It does.
