ESP32 aurora — a MicroPython display experiment
A weekend board-and-display experiment: MicroPython on an ESP32, an SSD1306 panel, and a frame loop that drifts layered waves across the pixels. It did not light up until the wires matched the labels printed on the module rather than the pinout in the listing.

Highlights
- I²C on the default pins, a framebuffer-backed driver and an animation tuned to the panel's refresh.
- A reminder that hardware debugging starts with the silkscreen.
