TZT ESP32 2.4" LCD w/ touchscreen

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hello,
According to the link you posted your board is not a 2432S024C but a 2432S024R instead, I just bought the same board and the touchscreen is Resistive not Capacitive.
I fiddled it it for a few hours and got both the display and tough to work fine. Hope you still have them in your parts bin so you can put them to good use.
Here is what I came up with:
User_Setup.h

// User defined information reported by "Read_User_Setup" test & diagnostics example
#define USER_SETUP_INFO "User_Setup"

#define ST7789_DRIVER 
// #define ILI9341_DRIVER       // Generic driver for common displays

#define TFT_WIDTH  240
#define TFT_HEIGHT 320 // ST7789 240 x 320
//  #define TFT_RGB_ORDER TFT_RGB  // Colour order Red-Green-Blue
 #define TFT_RGB_ORDER TFT_BGR  // Colour order Blue-Green-Red
// #define TFT_INVERSION_ON
#define TFT_INVERSION_OFF

#define ESP32_DMA
#define TFT_BL   27            // LED back-light control pin
#define TFT_BACKLIGHT_ON HIGH  // Level to turn ON back-light (HIGH or LOW)
#define TFT_MISO 12
#define TFT_MOSI 13 // In some display driver board, it might be written as "SDA" and so on.
#define TFT_SCLK 14
#define TFT_CS   15  // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_DC   2  // Data Command control pin
#define TFT_RST  -1  // Reset pin (could connect to Arduino RESET pin)
#define TOUCH_CS 33     // Chip select pin (T_CS) of touch screen

#define USE_HSPI_PORT

#define LOAD_GLCD   // Font 1. Original Adafruit 8 pixel font needs ~1820 bytes in FLASH
#define LOAD_FONT2  // Font 2. Small 16 pixel high font, needs ~3534 bytes in FLASH, 96 characters
#define LOAD_FONT4  // Font 4. Medium 26 pixel high font, needs ~5848 bytes in FLASH, 96 characters
#define LOAD_FONT6  // Font 6. Large 48 pixel font, needs ~2666 bytes in FLASH, only characters 1234567890:-.apm
#define LOAD_FONT7  // Font 7. 7 segment 48 pixel font, needs ~2438 bytes in FLASH, only characters 1234567890:-.
#define LOAD_FONT8  // Font 8. Large 75 pixel font needs ~3256 bytes in FLASH, only characters 1234567890:-.
//#define LOAD_FONT8N // Font 8. Alternative to Font 8 above, slightly narrower, so 3 digits fit a 160 pixel TFT
#define LOAD_GFXFF  // FreeFonts. Include access to the 48 Adafruit_GFX free fonts FF1 to FF48 and custom fonts


#define SMOOTH_FONT

#define SPI_FREQUENCY  80000000

// Optional reduced SPI frequency for reading TFT
#define SPI_READ_FREQUENCY  80000000

// The XPT2046 requires a lower SPI clock rate of 2.5MHz so we define that here:
#define SPI_TOUCH_FREQUENCY  2500000  //2500000

I modified this code from Random Nerd Tutorials for the CYD to test the touch feature:
