Yeah, I stumbled across lots of Arduino shields, but really wanted to steer away from loads of boards to piggyback on the screen just to display the text I need. Besides, whilst there are loads of options for arduino's and from Mikroelektronica etc to make things simple, it means there is one (or more) less to develop a solution under picBasic Pro, and without that sort of support, PBP will soon be left further behind it's competitors than what it already is.

It would be really good to see how you get on with those screens... and if a TFT "library" for SPI TFT's screens can be developed, even better
