Metro Express and color565

[bhclowers]

I've been trying to get the 1.27" SSD1351 working with circuitpython and the metro express with little luck. Upon inspection in looks like the color565 import is causing the system to run out of memory. Given that the code below is the only thing I'm trying to run, does this simply mean that circuitpython, metro express, and the display libraries are incompatible? If there is a way to make this happen, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Code: Select all

import busio
import digitalio
import board
from adafruit_rgb_display import color565
import adafruit_rgb_display.ssd1331 as ssd1331
spi = busio.SPI(clock=board.SCK, MOSI=board.MOSI, MISO=board.MISO)
display = ssd1331.SSD1331(spi, cs=digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GPIO0),
                            dc=digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GPIO15),
                            rst=digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GPIO16))

display.fill(0x7521)
display.pixel(32, 32, 0)

Cheers,

Brian

Hi Brian,
Are you importing mpy files? They take less memory than regular py files.
