<p>
This video show how to install "Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library" on Arduino
IDE, tested with <a href="https://arduino-er.blogspot.com/2021/06/arduino-nano-rp2040-connect.html">Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect</a> to display on 1.54 inch 240x240
and 2 inch 240x320 ST7789 SPI LCD, using hardware SPI and software SPI.

Check out the links above for our tutorials and wiring diagrams.
These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to
interface (RST is optional).
