                                         A semicolon after the last pixel needs to be sent.
<ESC>[#<idx>;<x>;<y>;<b>A                Load RLE compressed ASCII encoded bitmap to index 0-127 with width x and height y pixels, base=10 for decimal, 16 for hex.

                                         Repeat values must be between 1 and 255, of 1 and FF for hex.
                                         A semicolon after the last repeat value needs to be sent.
<ESC>[#<idx>;<x>;<y>b                    Load raw bitmap to index 0-127 with width x and height y pixels. Expects x*y binary pixel bytes sent after this command.
<ESC>[#<idx>;<x>;<y>B                    Load RLE compressed bitmap to index 0-127 with width x and height y pixels. Expects RLE compressed binary pixel data after this command, e.g. 0x10 0x20 draws color 16 for the next 32 pixels.

Settings

<ESC>[m             Reset color attributes (white on black)
<ESC>[38;5;<n>m     Set foreground color to <n> (0-255)
<ESC>[48;5;<n>m     Set background color to <n> (0-255)
<ESC>[58;5;<n>m     Set transparent color to <n> (0-255)
<ESC>[=0m           Reset color attributes (white on black) and sets normal drawing (sprites and characters)
<ESC>[=1m           Set XOR drawing (sprites and characters)
<ESC>[=2m           Set transparent drawing (sprites and characters)
<ESC>[=0f           Set 8x8 font
<ESC>[=1f           Set TRS-80 8x16 font
<ESC>[=2f           Set TRS-80 8x24 font
<ESC>[=<n>t         Set tabulation width (8 by default)
<ESC>[=<n>h         Change to display mode <n> (legacy PC ANSI.SYS)
                    This is actually only approximate resolutions (check README_ADD)
<ESC>[=<n>p         Load color palette <n>, where 0=XTerm (default), 1=VGA, 2=custom, 3=C64
<ESC>[=<b>;<n>p     Set custom palette, with <n> as the number of colors to follow (1-256) and <b> as the base (10 for decimal or 16 for hex).
                    <n> colors need to follow this command. Color information is always 8bit RGB, e.g. 000000 for black or FFFFFF for white.
                    A semicolon after the last color needs to be sent.
                    Here's an example for color 0:red, 1:green, 2:blue -> <ESC>[=16;3pFF0000;FF00;FF;
                    
Commands from PiGFX to the controller
