Greetings!

I’m glad I found the forums here - it seems pretty cosy and I hope you guys will be able to assist me with my projects.

I have a Adafruit 2.4" TFT Featherwing that I use with my now deceased Huzzah 8266 feather board (which kicked the bucket due to me connecting a battery with the wrong polarity on the LiPo connector) and soon-to-be Huzzah ESP32 board.

I was wondering if someone with better electronics skills than mine can tell what GPIO pin the TFT\_RESET pin, seen in the schematic on the Adafruit website for the said featherwing (or [linked here for your convience](https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/37216)) is located on. [The Featherwing pinout documentation page](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-4-tft-touch-screen-featherwing/pinouts) is not very helpful.

The reason I ask is because I haven’t been able to get answers through the Adafruit forums and Discord venues and I’m planning to use the ESP port of UTFT, which is a “Universal TFT Library” [located here](https://github.com/gnulabis/UTFT-ESP). It has a constructor that wants to know the RST pin. I could, you know, use Adafruit’s GFX library, but it is slow to do certain things.

I hope you can solve my issue, and I know I’ll be very thankful for your assistance! 😃

Had a contact confirm that there’s no TFT\_RESET pin visible, it only goes to IC5 and that’s it. I would have to do a hardware modification to expose that pin.

This can be closed at any time. Thanks.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for reporting back - I’m sure others would be interested by this in the future.
