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.
