I'll try that in just a bit, thanks! The library only has examples with static chars being displayed in quotes. But I did find this, from another thread. Seems to work at first test. I'll test some more
char c;
int q = 5;
c = q + '0'; // convert the number to a character corresponding to it
tft.drawChar( 190, 100, c, ILI9341_WHITE, ILI9341_BLACK, 5);
