I saw that comment, I guess I am just to new to thonny. Can't figure out how to install a library/driver from github in it.
FYI https://github.com/russhughes/gc9a01_mpy/blob/main/firmware/RP2/firmware.uf2 is Micropython v1.19.1 with the driver built in.
Just download it and copy it to the Pico drive you see when powering on with the 'boot' button pressed.
