Calendar | TFT Display 240×320 ILI9341 2.4″ SPI Display | Raspberry Pi Pico | CircuitPython (Part 3)

In this tutorial, we will create an interactive calendar on a 240×320 ILI9341 2.4″ SPI TFT display using the Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython. This is part 3 of our series, where we will learn how to navigate through the calendar by using touch buttons to select, increase, and decrease the month and year. By the end of this video, you'll be able to display any month and year on your TFT display with ease.

What You'll Learn:
1. Setting Up the TFT Display : Connect and configure the 240×320 ILI9341 TFT display with the Raspberry Pi Pico.
2. Touch Button Integration : Use touch buttons to interact with the calendar, allowing you to select, increase, and decrease month and year values.
3. Displaying the Calendar : Code the logic to display any month and year calendar on the TFT screen.

Steps Covered:
1. TFT Display Configuration : Step-by-step instructions to connect and set up the TFT display with the Raspberry Pi Pico.
2. Touch Button Setup : How to connect and configure touch buttons for user interaction.
3. Calendar Navigation : Coding touch button functionality to navigate through the calendar, including selecting, increasing, and decreasing the month and year.
4. Display the Calendar : Displaying the calendar on the TFT screen based on user inputs.
