These are research-stage component candidates, not a verified kit. Checking a part does not establish electrical compatibility, supplier stock, or purchase eligibility.
02 / THE APPROACH
Build sequence.
- 01
Identify the exact display and touch controller SKU.
- 02
Verify display firmware alone before adding peripherals.
- 03
Read BME280 sensor values over verified I²C pins.
- 04
Build LVGL screen states and stale-data warnings.
- 05
Stress-test touch, power and thermal behavior.
⚑ ENGINEERING NOTE
Controller, I²C bus and GPIO maps are board-dependent; never rely on generic wiring.
