Самое главное, собрано на Arduino uno первого релиза

Либо поменять оси у тачскрина, либо повернуть изображение на дисплее.

понял, видел в библиотеке инициализацию оси координат. была такая мысль, но думал что  там что  то другое, вечером попробую

Заработало, привожу конфиг, вдруг кому понадобиться.

Заменил в первоначальном конфиге

p.y = tft.height()-(map(p.y, TS_MAXY, TS_MINY, tft.height(), 0));
