Next up, network traffic. Precious precious internet. How fast are the 1's and 0's going up and down the pipe? How much in total have gone up and down the pipe? With this example, we track both of these.
There's no easy way to pre-determine your max bandwidth. Therefore you may want to adjust the ylim values and the divisors in update_data()if you find the data too squished or going off the chart.

Save that as tft_sidekick_net.py and run it with:
python3 tft_sidekick_net.py
Make sure you've set the BLINKA_FT232H environment variable.
and you should get something like:
