How to create a HA control with a MCU with a 1.28 inch LCD touch display?

Hello,

I have a round Waveshare 1.28 inch LCD touch display and I‘d like to build a control device based on a RPi Pico W (or similar) which can exchange data with HA. I found this topic: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/esp32-c3-with-integrated-gc9a01-cheap-touch-controller/610314 which seems to be something similar. Unfortunately I don’t have the experience yet to create something like this on my own.

I had a look here: https://esphome.io/components/touchscreen/ but it seems that the GC9A01 screen driver is not supported by ESPHome.

I‘d like to get some help or advice here to find a solution for my project.

Thanks in advance.

The thread you pointed to points to the driver for that touch device.
