=== TFT Colour Picker === Just a simple colour picker for Adafruit's TFT screens. These screens use a rarely-seen colour format called "rgb565", which packs 16-bit colour instead of the more usual 24-bit colour (often called "rgb888"). It does this by storing the top 5 bits as the blue value, the middle 6 bits as the green value, and the bottom 5 bits as the blue value. This is normally trivial to do with a calculator, but when you're trying to get a bunch of different colours, it becomes a bit of a pain to deal with. Hence this simple tool. Select the colour you want, and it automatically calculates the corresponding rgb565 value, ready for direct pasting into your code! This tool is *quite* basic at the moment, and does not let you input colours in terms of normal hex - something that I was really hoping to achieve, but for once, python failed for me and I could not get it to work D: Anyway, to run this, you'll need to have Python (obviously) as well as wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org/). I built this against Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9.2.3. It might work with other versions, but I don't know. If you want to edit it at all, PLEASE DO. If you manage to make it better, I would love to hear about it! Thanks for looking!
