However, that uses an offscreen buffer - which worked on the nRF52840, but is probably not so great on the nRF52832 :)
It'd be really cool to pull something like this into Espruino itself - actually sending individual pixels but via DMA looks really interesting performance-wise.
There are some hacks you can steal from the existing 8 bit driver too - like detecting if you're sending to X,Y then X+1,Y and not sending new XY coordinates each time.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
That looks really cool! Actually I believe there is already code to handle ST7789 via SPI (with DMA!) in Espruino, since it was used on the ID205 that I'd been considering for Bangle.js: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/libs/graphics/lcd_spilcd.c
