Hi,

I have no arduino experience but some Pi/programming.

I am looking to:

  1. Spec out and buy components to have a microcontroller run a touch TFT and 100 watt 4 relays. Hats or Seeed type board is better if possible.

  2. Write basic code for 2 touch screen buttons to turn the relays on and off

Thinking Arduino mega, stock 4 relay hat and stock 2.8" TFT. Any stellar suggestions or things to watch out for?

Thanks!

Hello @pbskidd and welcome to the RobotShop forum!

The combo you mentioned:



Sounds great!

As you mentioned, the code will be pretty basic but I’m sure these will make it even easier:
