Summary of Changes

Hello @CutterXYZ, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the library's display hardware compatibility by integrating support for two new I2C-based components. It allows for direct control of HD44780-compatible LCDs via the AiP31068 controller and provides comprehensive management of RGB backlights using the PCA9633 driver, expanding the range of display modules that can be easily interfaced.

Highlights

  • AiP31068 LCD Controller Support: Introduced a new I2C interface class, aip31068, to support the AiP31068 LCD controller, which is a standard I2C controller for HD44780 LCD displays. This class is configured for 8-bit mode operation.
  • PCA9633 RGB Backlight Driver Support: Added a new I2C interface class, pca9633, for the PCA9633 RGB backlight driver. This class provides methods to control backlight color (Red, Green, Blue, Amber) and overall brightness, and includes initialization for default settings and LED control.
  • Tested Hardware: The new implementations have been tested with the Waveshare LCD1602 display, which utilizes both the AiP31068 for the LCD and the PCA9633 for the RGB backlight.

Code Review

This pull request introduces support for two new I2C devices, AiP31068 and PCA9633. The changes are well-structured. I've identified a bug in the pca9633 implementation where setting a color channel to 0 is not handled correctly. I've also provided suggestions to improve the docstrings for both new classes for better clarity and maintainability.
