Over the past few days, I've been playing with an Adafruit Feather RP2040 DVI to test adding support for external HDMI monitors. Yesterday, I built out a newer, cleaner version of the graphical shell using Adafruit's modified picodvi library and got that working on a little 10-inch monitor. Today, I added in the vine protocol logic so it would populate the command, response, and error widgets. I tested it with the full system by patching into the router output. I got it working after a few iterations, and it looks great and is LIGHTENING FAST compared to the built-in TFT. 

To finish this out, here's the next tasks:

I'll update once the components are integrated on the board.
