Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No it's just a feature request.

Describe the solution you'd like Turing Smart Screen 5 Inch Support! Since This Library file Already supports it! They have gotten the serial port commands to send information.

Additional context Python file that supports it

The Python Library for turing smart screens

The good thing about this is that the refresh rate is high and it could be used for some really good stuff.

Hi ! Unfortunately there are many variations of those screens and they quickly become a trap . The homepage https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python with the many variations listed clearly shows that issue better than I can. Those screens quickly become a trap for users buying the wrong one or simply with support being broken later (AX206 is an example of that issue). If one of those manufacturer give a hand to third party usage (ie SDK, documentation) which would settle down a "well known" list of models and protocols that would be possible. but for now it's too "dangerous".

Is there a way we ( as in whoever wants to make this possible outside your team ) can make this a possibility? I like how the refreshrate on the new 5 inch one is fast, SO I was wondering is there a way we can make some kind of a plugin and connect it there? I know there are too much, But best way for this is to make each user make their own plugin for each screen no?

Currently I don't have a public sdk for that, this part of simhub is rather complex to test as I'm also using process isolation to make absolutely sure a screen (which often uses low level usb API, IE libusb) won't make simhub crash in case of issue. The code itself is pretty simple : clear, draw, brightness, but that process isolation makes it challenging.

That said I tried the 2.1 round screen recently, because round screen (which is a form factor which is appealing, just like ultrawides), and the protocol was so awful that I gave up :(

Aww man, That's a bummer, Thank you for kind words and hard working. I don't blame you for not supporting all turing screens, I HOPED there was a way we can fully support the 5 inch screen but yea it is what it is, You can't do anything, I hoped there was a way for me to even make it, But yea thank you for your reply and i'm sorry for being annoying. <3
