Hello all,
I'm wondering if this 3.5" TFT designed for MEGA 2560 will work with a Raspberry Pi. It's designed to run on 2.8-3.3v. If so, any suggestions or helpful links on how to interface it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please post a link to the datasheet.
A Raspberry Pi Pico is quite do-able. You can reuse the MCUFRIEND_kbv library once you add support for however you've assigned the Pico's pins (making sure to assign the shield's two analog output pins to ADC pins on the Pico) . And you can use both the touchscreen and SD card without reinventing the wheel. Here's something I've been tinkering with and have gotten to work satisfactorily.
If you're talking a non Pico rPi, that's a different story. You're talking reinventing the wheel. A lot of work. And you won't get the touchscreen working w/o extra hardware, as there's no analog GPIOs on a regular rPi. Why you'd want to go to all that trouble when there are displays that just plug into a regular rPi's GPIO header is a mystery.
