Hi ITInstructor, I would recommend:
- Verify if your displays have exactly the same XPT2046 chip / module pin-out
- Verify if touching layer is not permanently punched, pressed or damaged to produce constant touch by using serial output like the example in your <libraries>\XPT2046_Touchscreen\examples\TouchTest\ Hopefully you will a workaround to "ignore" a punched zone by the application filtering (if the rest is still responsive) or adjust the sensitivity.
- Run the Color Weatherstation without touch connected, also search Github for "cxandy" variant of the project with an external button alternative
