Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" LCD Driver unit

The Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" and PiTFT 3.2" LCD is a 320 x 240 pixel TFT with resistive touchscreen using an ILITEK ILI9340 driver and a STMicroelectronics STMPE610 resistive touchscreen controller. There is also a version available that includes a capacitive touchscreen using the Focaltech FT6236 controller.

This unit ties together the various components needed to make one of these boards work with Ultibo by finding the correct SPI or I2C device, creating the STMPE610 or FT6236 Touch device, creating the ILI9340 Framebuffer device and registering all of it with the correct parameters for the Adafruit board.
