Adafruit TFT FeatherWing - 3.5" 480x320 Capacitive Touchscreen
The Adafruit TFT FeatherWing is a 3.5" colour display with a 480×320 resolution, bright white-LED backlight, and a built-in multi-touch capacitive touchscreen that detects up to 5 simultaneous finger presses. It plugs directly into any Adafruit Feather board, making it an easy way to add a high-resolution colour display with touch input to your project.
The display communicates via SPI, with the capacitive touchscreen controller on I2C (requiring just one additional interrupt pin). A built-in microSD card slot lets you store images for display. The FeatherWing comes fully assembled with dual sockets — plug in your Feather and you're ready to go, with a second socket per pin for connecting external wires or large square pads for direct soldering.
