We started with a #raspberryPi #Pico & 240 x 240px OLED. Having worked with these as a base for the DinkyOSC we thought it would be a good place to start. We’ve added 2 buttons to the set up & control BMPs with adafruit_imageload & displayio . Below is a photo of the initial setup & we’ve included a PDF of the set up etc. here.
