LilyGo T-Display-S3 Support

Release Notes for LNbits NSD (LilyGo T-Display-S3 Support)

Added

Support for LilyGo T-Display-S3

• Board Type: Introduced a new BOARD_TYPE variable where type 1 holds the pin configuration for the TTGO T-Display (existing supported device) and type 2 holds the pin configuration for the LilyGo T-Display-S3.
• Notes for compiling: The board type and user setup select in TFT_eSPI are different for S3 devices, so notes have been added to direct users when compiling. This should help with troubleshooting.

UI Improvements

• Dynamic UI sizing: UI element sizing is now based on the TFT width and height, and the base screen width and height which was used for the creation of the elements. This allows us to size and position elements dynamically. Key previews are also truncated based on the width of the screen.
• Menu items: Linked to dynamic sizing (although not directly to the base screen variables), the number of menu items displayed now increases or decreased based on the TFT height.
• Dark/Light Mode: Introduced light mode and the ability to toggle between dark and light mode within the menu. Default is dark mode.
• Accent Colour Change: Ability to change the accent colour from the default of LNbits purple to a range of other colours.

Updated

• TFT_eSPI: Updated the TFT_eSPI library to support the T-Display-S3. Also supports other boards not fully supported by the current version.
• Menu item state: Minor change to menu items to reflect the current state. eg. Set/Change PIN is not Set PIN or Change PIN based on the current state.

Just a heads up... the release looks massive, but that's due to upgrading the TFT_eSPI library to support the newer display types. You'll notice that the NSD changes themselves are relatively small compared to my previous PR.

LGTM
Needs testing on a physical device

@motorina0 can we put that on a todo?

Yes, however if the PIN numbers don't match the T-Display S3 or TTGO, you might need to add a new device type and find the right device in TFT-eSPI. Don't have a T-Display to test myself.

Minor challenge, it seems that T-Display-S3 can be either RGB or BGR meaning that the blue and reds displayed on the screen may be inverted.

For this release you can change the colour order in the user select file (just comment our the old one and uncomment the new one), for the next PR which has BLE support, I'll look to add a menu item to allow the user to switch colour order on device. Will need a new helper function to switch at runtime.
