I received PCBs today and built the first prototype. Everything went pretty well, except one slight issue that was easily fixed. I hadn't thought through one part of the power control circuitry. In an attempt to clamp a 5v "power on" signal to 3.3v for the Teensy, I did not consider the minimum logic level for the boost converter's enable pin. So the circuit was not turning on. A little simulation and rerouting one node of the circuit with a wire fixed the problem. This could be easily fixed in the first revision of the PCB. I'm using a smaller TFT touch screen that I had on the breadboard. Consequently, I think my touch screen values calibration is way off and needs to be redone. I'm very happy with the way all of the components look together.
