Creating high-quality, complex animations on an Arduino Uno is challenging due to its limited 2KB of RAM and 16MHz processor speed. Full-screen animations would require far more memory than the Uno has available.
However, I can write code for a procedurally generated animation that evokes a cyberpunk theme, like the "Matrix" digital rain effect. This is visually interesting and well within the capabilities of the hardware.
Here is the code. You will need to install the Adafruit GFX Library
and Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library
from the Arduino Library Manager.
Here are the pin connections from your Arduino Uno to the 1.8" SPI TFT display. I've created a connections.txt
file for your reference.
