XPT2046

Quick Decision Notes

XPT2046 is indexed as a displays part from XPTEK. ChipScout tracks it by practical maker-facing dimensions: interfaces, library readiness, estimated price, field-level sources, and whether the page is strong enough for selection rather than only lookup.

Pinout Table

Pinout is not yet source-verified. Use the table as an integration checklist, then confirm exact pins against the module vendor page before wiring hardware.

Common Wiring

Arduino Example

#include <SPI.h>

const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(chipSelect, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(chipSelect, HIGH);
  SPI.begin();
  Serial.println("XPT2046 SPI wiring smoke test");
}

void loop() {
  // Replace this transaction with the maintained XPT2046 driver call.
  digitalWrite(chipSelect, LOW);
  SPI.transfer(0x00);
  digitalWrite(chipSelect, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
}

MicroPython Example

MicroPython support is pending. Treat community scripts as prototypes until a maintained driver is linked and tested on a known development board.
