Hi !
Following my question for menu management #112 I'd like to know if it's possible to support the Sharp memory LCD. These low power LCDs are a good solution when you want something readable under direct sunlight, without the e-ink drawback (slow refresh rate).
I plan to use this lcd on my bike for collection photos for OpenStreetMap contributions (you can see more here).

Glancing at the datasheet, it appears to be an SPI device, so interfacing to it should be relatively straightforward. The sticking point to writing a driver is having one to test against though - are you able to source one for us ... either as a donation or a loan?

This ticket should probably be moved to the luma.lcd repo at some point.

@rm-hull I have an old one, from Adafruit. I will use it in the future, but in the meantime, I can send it to you. You're in the UK ? Give me your postal address and I will ship it.
