Not bad. Gone from a mock-up to the actual TFT LCD. Compare the new TFT with the old LCD (showing a “wave1” profile.) I don’t like the tiny font on the new one and the next one is too large, so I may have to roll my own to get the right size. This is still just building the framework. Once this is ironed out, I can start adding the actual engine with PID and all that good stuff.
Oh ya, this particular project doesn’t have anything that’s directly related to FastLED, but in the end it will be used for building all sorts of fun LED stuff. 
Just in case it proves even remotely useful; heres the sketch that drives my reflow oven… :

Its state machine based, and lifted heavily from various sources around the web… but meh… just in case you were interested in how others did it…
Awesome, thanks. I have another that I grabbed from EStechnical because it’s PID based. I’ll compare notes and go from there.
Right now I’m just working on the framework, laying out where thing go on the screens, menus, buttons, etc. Had to write a little utility to parse a bitmap into code to draw a logo. The built-in LCD function had trouble with large arrays so I want the “hard” way, drawing it line by love. Looks like I will also have to do some cutting on the front panel window because the hole is a bit too small for the LCD by about 1/4 inch in height. Small technicality. I’m going to replace the whole front face anyway.
