TFT in demo build

[ArchangelDesign]

I'm trying to compile demo with USE_TFT enabled and either get missing U8G2_SSD1306_128X64_NONAME_F_HW_I2C in main.cpp or (when I add U8G2 library)

Compiling .pio\build\demo\src\effects.cpp.o

cc1plus.exe: out of memory allocating 65536 bytes

cc1plus.exe: out of memory allocating 65536 bytes
*** [.pio\build\demo\src\drawing.cpp.o] Error 1
*** [.pio\build\demo\src\audio.cpp.o] Error 1

so I disabled webserver and now stuck with src/screen.cpp:38:5: error: 'U8G2_SSD1306_128X64_NONAME_F_HW_I2C' does not name a type

How can I get TFT to run in demo mode?

I guess I've never made demo compile with the TFT yet! You can open an issue and assign to me, or fix directly!

thanks, Dave, awesome job on this BTW, everything compiles and works on the first try. The code has a very nice smell of the '90s which I love. I'll submit a PR with TFT support, I have the strip behind my monitors and want to mount esp32dev at the bottom of my primary monitor. For that reason, I'd like to see something on it, plus have a physical button to interact (although I love the wifi approach)

If you have a HELTEC module, just set USE_TFT to 1. If you have an M5, set USE_OLED to 1. That’ll five you a display. There’s a Button object in there now you could change to step through effects pretty easy!

Fixed tonight - you can now just set USE_TFT to 1 and if you have the TFT, it'll work! The code was already there but the headers weren't in the right order to compile for that scenario, so I just had to move them around a bit.

yup, now it works, pulling 120fps on heltec :)
