1.3" Color LCD Display "shield" for Raspberry Pi Pico

Recently, after seeing a color 1.3" display, joystick, and four buttons, all on a Raspberry Pi Pico "shield" module, I had to buy it.

This board looks like the perfect solution to make a video game to run on the Pico.
The Ebay website didn't offer any libraries, but it did provide a wiring diragram
Since the module was documented to use an SST7789 for the 240x240 display, it was rather easy to find a MicroPython library for it, st7789py_mpy-master.zip.
Included with the library are several example programs, including ttgo_lines.py.
For the ttgo_lines.py program to function with the display, the gpio pins need to be changed for the Pico as follows:
def main():
spi = SoftSPI(
baudrate=20000000,
polarity=1,
phase=0,
sck=Pin(10), # previously 18
mosi=Pin(11), # previously 19
miso=Pin(14)) # previously 13
tft = st7789.ST7789(
spi,
240, # previously 135
240,
reset=Pin(12, Pin.OUT), # previously 23
cs=Pin(9, Pin.OUT), # previously 5
dc=Pin(8, Pin.OUT), # previously 16
backlight=Pin(13, Pin.OUT), # previously 4
rotation=0)
This is a great looking add-on board!
