It's 10pm Late night display init code hacking 👁️👩💻🌙
It's 10pm. Do you know where your engineers are? We're digging through our pile of funky cool-shaped displays, starting with the round ones first! These displays have 18-bit RGB, 6 bits each or R G and B, plus the V and H sync, data enable, pixel clock, etc. Unlike some basic rectangular displays, these ones need configuration over SPI. So we spent some of that late-night-hacking time to get the init code 'ported' over to the Arduino library we use:
..next we converted an eyeball graphic from BMP to raw 565 bitmap with https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Media_Converters and uploaded it to our ESP32-S3 LCD Eval board

...for a sp00ky g00gly l00k!
