Pimoroni Pico Display Pack Circuitpython 6.2b1 bitmap gradient

code.py

"""
I don't have a Pico Explorer from Pimoroni, but I have a MiniPiTFT 240x240 from @adafruit
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4484
So with a little bit of wiring I can now run code on the Pico made for the Pico Explorer screen.

Fork from https://gist.github.com/wildestpixel/70208a0581d30bcee7b328a408e4ef9c just edited for 240x240.
