Quick Overview
This DIYables 2.8 inch TFT LCD touch screen display module uses the ST7789 driver chip with a 240x320 pixel resolution and 65K color depth, combining vibrant full-color graphics with a built-in resistive touch panel for direct on-screen interaction. A touch stylus is included for precise input on menus, buttons, and controls in embedded projects.
The module communicates over a simple 4-wire SPI interface and operates on both 3.3V and 5V logic, making it compatible with 3.3V ESP32 boards and 5V Arduino boards. The 82mm x 50mm board includes an onboard microSD card slot on the back for additional storage of images, fonts, or logged data, along with separate SPI pin headers for the display (VCC, GND, SCK, SDI/MOSI, SDO/MISO, DC, RESET, CS) and the touch controller (T_IRQ, T_DO, T_DIN, T_CS, T_CLK). A DIYables TFT SPI library and step-by-step tutorials are included to help you get started quickly with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi.
This touch display is well suited for interactive control panels, IoT dashboards, menu-driven user interfaces, sensor data visualization, and custom electronics projects that need on-screen touch input.

※ NOTE THAT:
This display operates at 3.3V logic. When using 5V boards (Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, Uno R4), add a 5V → 3.3V level converter on the MCU-driven signal lines (MOSI, SCK, CS, DC, RST) for both the display and touch controller. The MISO/T_DO lines (module → MCU) do not require conversion.
