# group is already in a group that is displayed.  To remove the splash from the displayed group,
# you first have to display.show some other group, doing that will remove the splash from its group
# and allow you to append it to your own group.

### If there is no serial connection, just the Blinka remains after the code is done.

### Have to reset the display to show(None) to see the "Code done running." text.
