Built a RP2040 HUB75 driver 2yrs ago: 2 chans, 2x buffering, and 8-10bit BCM via a single DMA stream to 2 cascaded PIO engines. 7+3 PIO instr.
It was a naive try.
Starting fresh with RP2350. Simplifying RGB engine and refining control engine to PWM lower bitplanes, to address the min on-time issue.

If your wheat bag isn’t smoking put it in the microwave for another fifteen minutes. Apply directly to face, the immediate blistering should relieve sinus discomfort.

Anyone got a userspace bitbang i2c driver for the Pi before I go trying to mangle my own together? 🤣
I’d use the kernel i2c but device tree doesn’t want to let me share pins between SPI (display init) and I2C (touch controller) no matter how nicely I ask.
