I want to build a colour name badge TFT Display based on the Raspberry Pi Pico and C/C++. Instead of using a specific Pico module I am using the generic MSP2401 2.4Inch Display. With some work this is great.
In this video I am going to share how I connected up the display and drive it from C/C++. Follow along with the code and the video to see how initialisation works. How everything else is really about drawing rectangles.
Let me know what you think and I can do some more videos on other techniques with this display.
My repo for working with the display is: https://github.com/jondurrant/RPIPicoTFT2.4
