raspi-netmon-v2

Create a fresh installation of raspian-lite

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
dd image to SD-Card and add an empty file ssh to boot folder
boot device add ssh into it (user pi, password raspberry)
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no pi@<ip_of_raspi>
configure device as needed using sudo raspi-config
- Change timezone

Download and install netmon

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pl31/raspi-netmon-v2/master/installer/installer.sh | sh

Enable pitft

Follow the guide at https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-2-pitft-hat-320-240-primary-display-for-raspberry-pi/easy-install

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/master/adafruit-pitft.sh)"

For pitft capacitive 2.8" use [3,4,n,y,y - HDMI mirror on PiTFT]

Finally edit /boot/config.txt find the line hdmi_cvt and change to 320x240:

hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0

Make readonly

If happy with the result, make SD-Card read-only (install cron+ntp for timesync):

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/master/read-only-fs.sh)"

Troubleshooting

Mouse inverted

Mouse might be inverted, when PiTFT was installed before xorg. Make sure that /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-calibration.conf contains:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Touchscreen Calibration"
        MatchIsTouchScreen "on" 
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "TransformationMatrix" "-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1"
EndSection
