TBS thread for Enhanced ILI9341 driver for MM2 and MM+
The improved speed is included in the native driver from
MMBasic V5.3 Most other enhancements are also now
included in the MM+ native support, but this enhanced
loadable driver is still relevant for the MM2.
TBS thread for SD card support for MM2
This is the only LCD Panel supported natively on the MM2. Pinout is described in the MM User Manual.
The 2.4",2.8" usually include touch support.The 2.2" generally does not have touch support. Touch not supported on ArmmiteL4 MM2(+)

TBS thread for ILI9488 driver for MM2 and MM+
The MM2 driver supports all the normal drawing commands. In addition the MM+ driver supports transparent text, image load and blit.
Pinout as per ILI9341. See TBS thread for possible issues if touch not working. SDO(MISO) pin on the display may need attention

Pinout same as SSD1963 panels. Please be aware that to use these displays in 8-bit mode (rather than 16) you connect the data lines to DB8-DB15 and NOT DB0-DB7. See TBS threads. These are a bit historical. The two panels below seem to be more common now.
