so it turns out the display supports up to 255 line segments, so you can just split an image into lines and (veeery slowly) send them all to the display :neofox_woozy:

@cato huh? So the background needs to be drawn "manually", why it's so slow, and the plane and trains integrated?

@uvok yeah! The thing doesn't really support graphics so I used the "draw horizontal / vertical line" commands in a hacky way. And the font has some symbols integrated.

Also, can you upload custom font icons? I remember from working with a similar display in small that it had ASCII + half-width Katakana + 16 unassigned icon slots. No happy car though. xD

@curiousicae @uvok technically the protocol supports it, no idea if this specific display does though
