Determining the `colormode`, `invert`, and `rot` parameters

The madctl_helper.py program can help determine the colormode, invert, and rot parameters for a display. Set the mosi, clk, dc, cs, backlight, width, and height parameters for your display. Start with rot=0, colormode=COLOR_MODE_RGB, and rot=0. Run the program with the display in the orientation you would like to configure.

Setting the `colormode` and `invert` parameter

The program will draw a large red full-screen button with an 'F' character centered in the button. You can determine the colormode and invert parameters by observing the button's color.

If the button is RED, the colormode and invert parameters are correct.
If the button is BLUE, colormode should be COLOR_MODE_BGR.
If the button is YELLOW, invert should be True.
If the button is CYAN, colormode should be COLOR_MODE_BGR and invert should be True.

Setting the `rot` parameter

The rot parameter is used to set the MADCTL register of the display. The MADCTL register controls the order that pixels are written to the framebuffer. This sets the Orientation or Rotation of the display. Match the orientation and direction of the 'F' character as drawn on the display by the madctl_helper.py program with the examples in the table below to determine the rot parameter value.

Image	`rot` parameter
	rot=0
	rot=MADCTL_MY
	rot=MADCTL_MX
	rot=MADCTL_MX \| MADCTL_MY
	rot=MADCTL_MV
	rot=MADCTL_MV \| MADCTL_MY
	rot=MADCTL_MV \| MADCTL_MX
	rot=MADCTL_MV \| MADCTL_MX \| MADCTL_MX
