OK, I grabbed a 3.2" touch screen module and an Arduino mega 2560 and=20
have a simple application working on it. So... it seems like rolling my=20
own solution may not be out of the question as the libraries available=20
are pretty easy to work with.

I just need to work out a neat way to mount the display (and piggyback=20
custom PCB) on an attractive flush mount panel or low profile enclosure.=20
Has anyone here seen off-the-shelf 3.2" (or 2.8" / 2.4") TFT modules out=20
there that you can buy in smaller quantities?
