Thin Case for 2.8" ILI9341 TFT LCD and microcontroller
Description
This project is for the [2.8" ili9341 TFT LCD and Touchscreen](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XHJ9KRX). The ESPHome code for this project exists within three gists * The primary ESPHome code [tft-test-1.yaml](https://gist.github.com/kdorff/363cc20a26fddf7a3dea6fabbcd04805) * Data / support code [tft-test-1.h](https://gist.github.com/kdorff/811f86b33bf8b63050dce7e91d70cac8) * My custom Panel class to simplify UI and touch coding [tft-panel.h](https://gist.github.com/kdorff/5c26fb21c573e4309da2587aa6e9b5d3) This thin case pretty much requires you to solder the microcontroller directly to the LCD (I recommend solid-core wires). See images. I assume you are using a micro-usb cable to power the microcontroller. Power comes in from the bottom. Need another side? Let me know. The case uses countersunk [m3 screws](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYNKLT2) to affix the lid to the case, instead of glue or tape. Lid and Base to attach using four m3 screws (12mm is about perfect). This design requires m3 heat inserts in the Base. It uses [these m3 heat inserts](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJD3W4X). I used [Polyimide Adhesive Tape (kapton-like)](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB81Q4L) to insulate the ili9341 PCB from the microcontroller. I used the [ESP32 30-pin](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BYJR9Y4) and the [ESP32 D1 Mini](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L79192D) with good success
