I just connected an ili9163 tft display to my nodemcu. I would like to make a small client that fetchs images from a server and displays it. Did anybody implement a decompression software (gif, png or whatever) on the nodemcu ? Thanks !

He uses images to form the patterns and movement on a LED strip; perhaps you can grab some ideas there.
