Create an "animated" plasma effect on a round tft display. This effect is motivated by the apple homepod.
TFT Display beneath homepod cover with built in diffuser.
Due to the limited cpu speed of the pi pico, the animation can currently be only described as a slide show unless the resolution is lowered considerably.
With a resolution of 8 or higher (a higher value reduces resolution and makes ot blocky) it becomes actually quite fast.
Using a diffuser hides the blocky look and makes everything smooth.
You can flash the firmware using the following command:
tinygo flash -target=pico .
There are hardly any logs, just when a frame finishes. This can be either used to check uptime and see how many fps the display is running at.
