[TriEmbed] TFT'S from Hamfest

[Trampas Stern]

I think this is the Seeed one:
https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/2.8inch_TFT_Touch_Shield_v2.0/

It appears to use the *ILI9341 *driver chip.  The ILI9341 chip is what you
are talking to via the SPI interface to turn pixels on and off.   Adafruit
has some examples and tutorials on how to use the ILI9341, note the
adafruit lcd/board is different, but process should be similar:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8-and-3-2-color-tft-touchscreen-breakout-v2/spi-wiring-and-test

Here is the ILI9341 datasheet:
https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/ILI9341.pdf

I have used the ILI9341 (as well as several other LCD controllers)  on past
projects, so if anyone needs some help I will be happy to help.   If there
is enough interest I would not mind setting up an online(zoom) tutorial
session.

In general if anyone needs help solving hardware or firmware problems,
please let me know and I will do my best to help.

Thanks
Trampas
