Sitronix ST7567 LCD driver - sand between glass substrates [STM32C562RE]

Just playing with an "accidentally" bought transparent LCD and my good old NRND¹ friend BNO055. The system-on-glass (SOG) liquid crystal display (LCD) ispired me to trap 2000+ grains of sand inside it. And because gravity is the fundamental curvature of spacetime, everything and everybody are subject to it², including the pixels of the display 😉

Missing files?

Don't worry. Just open the .ioc2 file in STM32CubeMX2 and hit the yellow button to generate the IDE project. Then open the project in STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code and build it.
