Using Adafruit Example code for TFT 1.28 inch LCD Display Module Round RGB 240*240 and my 30 pin ESP32

tfttestwithESP32.ino

// Credit Adafruit example that comes with the Adafruit_GC9A01A.h library.  I only wired my board 
// consistent with the pin definitions in lines 31-35 using a ESP32 with 30 pins (i.e. ESP-WROOM-DA Module)

#include "SPI.h"
#include "Adafruit_GFX.h"
#include "Adafruit_GC9A01A.h"

// Define pins for display interface. You'll probably need to edit this for
// your own needs:

#if defined(ARDUINO_SEEED_XIAO_RP2040)

// Pinout when using Seed Round Display for XIAO in combination with
// Seeed XIAO RP2040. Other (non-RP2040) XIAO boards, any Adafruit Qt Py
// boards, and other GC9A01A display breakouts will require different pins.
#define TFT_CS D1 // Chip select
#define TFT_DC D3 // Data/command
#define TFT_BL D6 // Backlight control

#else // ALL OTHER BOARDS - EDIT AS NEEDED below is my ESP32 30 pin board

// Other RP2040-based boards might not have "D" pin defines as shown above
// and will use GPIO bit numbers. On non-RP2040 boards, you can usually use
// pin numbers silkscreened on the board.

// If display breakout has a backlight control pin, that can be defined here
// as TFT_BL. On some breakouts it's not needed, backlight is always on.
