Adafruit Mini TFT with Joystick Featherwing

Add a dazzling color display to your Feather project with this Adafruit Mini Color TFT with Joystick FeatherWing.

This FeatherWing has so much stuff going on, we could not fit any more parts on the PCB! There's a 0.96" 160x80 Color TFT Display with 16-bit full color capability. And, so you can make a proper UI we added a 5-way navigation switch and two push buttons. The joystick can go left, right, up, down and 'in' for selection. Two buttons on the side can change modes or whatever you like.
