Just made some modification on a driver from @pythoncoder to use the blue tab variation of a 80 x 160 display using ST7735 driver chip. The driver is here in the drivers directory.
The differences with the original driver are :

• an offset on one axis

• inverted colors

I have added parameters in the constructor in order to manage more than one display, examples are here.
One of the example is a faux nixie clock on which the numbers shape can be changed with a rotary encoder.

Good work. The multiple variants of the ST7735 are confusing. I chose to support Adafruit displays because I trust them not to suddenly change to a different variant...

Your driver should work with nano-gui should you feel inclined to try it.

I love your simulated Nixie tube font!

Thank you.

When I adapt a driver, I try to keep the interface as much as possible to assure compatibility with the original one.
