Notes
- Unlike the tufty2350 version, this version has sound implemented
- this repo uses a fork of pimoroni-pico where a change has been made to not build the examples but also a change to the old st7789 driver to make it work with overlocking. Unlike the tufty2350, there is however no overclocking defined for the pimoroni explorer, so you could still use the original pimoroni-pico repo as well
