* Very cheap cockpit display software for Openplotter on the Raspberry PI.
* Bought on eBay, for size, and use of less GPIO pins. Thus ended up buying an ili9488 based 3.5 inch TFT LCD. I would love to get something transflective in the future. It turned out the ili9488 is very poorly supported in the linux fb world; I've ordered a 2.8 inch ili9341 based display to try that one out too.
* Reference platform is the Raspberry PI 3 Model B; reasons being:
* It seems to be powerful enough, it's a 1.2 GHz 64 bit qtad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 1 GiB of memory. Furthermore is has 4 USB ports, making it less likely that I'll need a USB hub; also, it has WiFi should I want to play around with that. Newer, more powerful models are very neat, but they also have a significantly higher power consumption, model B idles at about 230 mA (1.2 W) where the B+, for example, idles at 350 mA (1.7 W)
