The [ESPHome](https://esphome.io/) code for this project, which is a clock showing inside and outside temperatures where all data comes from [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/), can be found here [https://github.com/kdorff/esphome/tree/main/tft-office](https://github.com/kdorff/esphome/tree/main/tft-office) * The primary ESPHome project code `tft-office.yaml` * Data, initialization, and display update code `tft-room-time-temp.h` * My library, [esphome-display-panel](https://github.com/kdorff/esphome-display-panel), provides a class DisplayPanel class to simplify UI layout and touch detection. The Base model offers 15mm of space under the PCB. I can/may make offer a thinner option. Power comes in from the back. Need another side? Let me know. I'm powering with MicroUSB and using a zip tie for strain relief. The case uses countersunk [m3 screws](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CYNKLT2) to affix the lid to the case, instead of glue or tape. Lid and Base to attach using four m3 screws (12mm is about perfect). This design requires m3 heat inserts in the Base. It uses [these m3 heat inserts](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJD3W4X). I used [Polyimide Adhesive Tape (kapton-like)](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB81Q4L) to insulate the ili9341 PCB from the microcontroller. I used the [ESP32 30-pin](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BYJR9Y4) and the [ESP32 D1 Mini](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L79192D) with good success
