Minimal ESP32 PlatformIO TFT display example using Adafruit ST7735

This example code is for the KMR-1.8 SPI display (128x160px) and provides a minimal example using the *Adafruit-ST7735*library that toggles the screen from black to white repeatedly. You can use this as a check if your hardware works correctly.

Hardware connection

Note that you can use any pin number on the ESP32 ; if you use other pins, ensure to change them in the code

Do not connect any pin to VIn or 5V. This can easily damage your display!
