What boards using the TFT LCD are built for
TFT LCD: common questions
Where can I find a TFT LCD reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the TFT LCD. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the TFT LCD use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1) and ESP32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the TFT LCD?
The median is 75.2 × 72 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the TFT LCD?
By GitHub stars, ESP32Pet by dishishshawn, with 4 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the TFT LCD before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
