The most suitable application for a round display is a programmable watch.

Using the GFX Library for Arduino (https://github.com/moononournation/Arduino_GFX) , we can easily configure and start using the round LCD, printing text and image on the display and playing animation.

What's best, the AMB23 dev board comes with built-in audio codec and an on-board audio jack for WAV audio data playing, so we can record a voice message and convert it to WAV, put it on the SD card then play the voice message at the designated time.

Here is the code,

 * Start of Arduino_GFX setting
 * 
 * Arduino_GFX try to find the settings depends on selected board in Arduino IDE
 * Or you can define the display dev kit not in the board list
 * Defalult pin list for non display dev kit:
 * ESP32 various dev board     : TFT_CS:  5, TFT_DC: 27, TFT_RST: 33, TFT_BL: 22
 * ESP8266 various dev board   : TFT_CS: 15, TFT_DC:  4, TFT_RST:  2, TFT_BL:  5
 * RTL872x various dev board   : TFT_CS: 12, TFT_DC: 14, TFT_RST: 15, TFT_BL: 13, VCC: 3V3, GND: GND, SDA: MOSI, SCL: CLK
 * Go to Arduino_GFX_Library.h and update the TFT misc pins according to the definitions listed below
 * #elif defined(RTL8722DM)
   #define TFT_CS 12 
   #define TFT_DC 14
   #define TFT_RST 15
   #define TFT_BL 13
 * Arduino Nano, Micro and more: TFT_CS:  9, TFT_DC:  8, TFT_RST:  7, TFT_BL:  6
