The [Adafruit Mini PiTFT](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4393) is an affordable 135x240 color TFT display for the Raspberry Pi. The PiTFT connects to the 'top' 2x12 headers on the Pi's 2x20 GPIO header connection. It comes pre-assembled and tested so it can simply be attached to the Pi's header pins (no soldering required). Its low cost, form factor and bright display make it well suited as an add-on for RaspAP.
Using the display is straightforward with Adafruit's Python library for the ST7789 chipset. For this application we will use the Python imaging library (PIL) to output some useful stats for RaspAP. The Mini PiTFT's small size complements the Pi Zero W, although for this example we're using a Pi Model 4.
