8.8 inch screen support

[arthurv]

I've got the 3.5 inch screen running nicely, and a 5 inch screen is on the way.

However, it seems an 8.8 inch screen is also available, any plans for supporting this?

It looks like the perfect screen (in portrait mode) to display a to-do list, for example.

Hi! So there is now an 8.8 inch screen, great news but I'll be ruined if they release new models every 6 months 😄
If the protocol is the same as the 5.5 inch screen (which seems to be the case becasue the configuration software looks the same) then supporting it will be quick and easy.
But if they develop a new protocol for the 8.8 inch display, it will require to analyze serial frames like people did for the 5.5 inch so it will take longer.
Anyway, I will order one and we'll see! I would be happy if we can add it to the list of supported displays

Glad people are finding this and getting involed. Is there a discord? would be good to have a channel for example talking about themes etc.
