TFT_ILI9163C
============
==============
ILI9163C- A fast SPI driver for TFT that use Ilitek ILI9163C.
Features:
- Very FAST!, expecially with Teensy 3.x where uses DMA SPI.
- It uses just 4 or 5 wires.
- Compatible at command level with Adafruit display series so it's easy to adapt existing code.
- It uses the standard Adafruit_GFX Library (you need to install).
Pay Attention to connections!!!!
Pay Attention to connections!!!!:
- This display has logic at 3V3 volt so YOU NEED A VOLTAGE CONVERTER if you plan to use with arduino.
If you try to connect directly you can burn it very fast so PAY ATTENTION!
- My display works at 3V3 volt for logic but LED background has resistor for 5V. Your can be different

Background:
I got one of those displays from a chinese ebay seller but unfortunatly I cannot get
any working library so I decided to hack it. ILI9163C looks pretty similar to other
display driver but it uses it's own commands so it's tricky to work with it unlsess you

have totally different controller that's not compatible. Altrough I discovered that it's not
128x128 but 128x160 (!??)... Check links below to see if it's similar to yours.

Pay attention that ILI9163C can drive different resolutions and your display can be
160*128 or whatever, also there's a strain of this display with a black PCB that a friend of mine
got some weeks ago and need some small changes in library to get working.

Code Optimizations:
The purpose of this library it's SPEED. I have tried to use hardware optimized calls
where was possible and results are quite good for most applications, actually nly filled circles
are still a bit slow. Many SPI call has been optimized by reduce un-needed triggers to RS and CS

choose one of the two freely since are both fully compatible.

Special Thanks:
Thanks Adafruit for his Adafruit_GFX!
Thanks to Paul Stoffregen for his beautiful Teensy3 and DMA SPI.
