The 2.8" TFT LCD Breakout Board features a bright, full-colour display with a resistive touchscreen and an onboard MicroSD card socket. With 240×320 resolution and individual RGB pixel control, it delivers vivid colour output for interactive projects.

The breakout supports two interface modes: 8-bit parallel (12 lines total) for fast performance, or SPI (5 pins) for reduced wiring. Both are 3–5V compatible with onboard level shifters. The resistive touchscreen requires 4 pins (2 digital, 2 analogue) or can be used with an optional STMPE610 touch controller over I2C/SPI. In SPI mode, you can also use the MicroSD slot to load and display images.
