Description: This code snippet initializes the Adafruit ILI9341 library and configures the necessary pins for communication with the TFT LCD display. The TFT_CS, TFT_RST, and TFT_DC pins are defined according to the physical connections and set as outputs in the setup() function. The rest of the code, which is not shown here, would typically include the initialization of the display and the main program logic to interact with the display.
