Merlin + BoeBot + 4.3" Touchscreen

This actually worked out pretty nicely...
This poor BoeBot has been sitting around for a couple years now, not seeing much action...

Just upgraded to Quickstart board and used our new Merlin board to run the servos.
That worked fine.
Then, used the Propeller Platform compatible header on Merlin to drive a 4.3" touchscreen.

Wasn't completely sure this would all work, but it works great.
Screen is upside down though...

Want to test with our PTP2 3.5" touchscreen too, might be a better fit...

    Can you flip the scans?

    I think it's possible to change the driver to draw from the bottom up...
    The 3.5" screens may have a setting for direction, but the 4.3" screens don't have any settings at all...
