### How to Use

Connect the Atomic HDMI Display Base to your development board using the SPI interface for display control and I2C for configuration. For optimal performance, use a [Core Electronics HDMI Cable 1M](https://core-electronics.com.au/hdmi-cable-1m.html) to connect your HDMI source. The display base requires a screen with adaptive resolution scaling support for proper operation.

Development can be carried out using either the Arduino IDE or ESP32-IDF framework, allowing for flexible implementation across various projects. Note that UIFlow is not currently supported.
