I want to make it clear that while I’m excited to share the Board Support Package (BSP) for the MakerFabs 3.5" Touch TFT Parallel Display, I am not affiliated with MakerFabs in any official capacity. The BSP and the related information I’ve provided are based on my personal efforts and contributions, and I’m sharing them with the Squareline Studio community as a fellow enthusiast.
The BSP I’ve created is a result of my independent work and dedication, and I do not represent MakerFabs or have any official endorsement from them. I’m simply sharing my work with the community in the hopes that it will be useful to other Squareline Studio users who are interested in incorporating this hardware into their projects.
