 This tutorial is for our 1.8" diagonal TFT display & microSD breakout board. This breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available! This tutorial is for our 1.8" diagonal TFT display & microSD breakout board.
