most of those are resistive touchscreens... never liked those.
The one i found is a capsense.
Anyway i'm not stuck to one type of display. Just that i found a nice pcb with this display and a socket for the pico to jumpstart my development.

I may go with the character display after all

I have 40 outputs so one character per output to show on/off on the second (or fourth line if I use a 4x40)

Top line(s) to show instructions like program number, start time , step number, step count , day of week. plenty of space. And they are sunlight readable... most of the tft's cannot be read in sunlight.
