Ok i am too tired to worry about 8bit mode on these lcds. 16bit mode works nicely! i even created (peiced together and edited) some code for printing strings on the LCD.
Also i have a magnify option. I suggest using 1,2 or 3 only.. This is 2 and 3.
Got board (get it?) so made a imageDraw routine:
(The image is huge click on it for better view…)
