Why

I'm lazy. Again

To find another reason for this to exist, I made it work over TCP so the serial backend works on a remote device where watchy is connected. Now programming watchy using a VPN, code-server is possible. Awesome

Some notes

• Works best with a external USB-UART adapter. Best speeds but the one on the watchy should work too
• Works without a screen!
• You can open the image in kolourpaint now to inspect invidual pixels, with one click!
• The delay is almost nothing, look at the demo :D
• It should work with all adafruit GFX based screen libraries, just support for changing resolution would be needed
