Hi,

Only a short roundup for this topic to close this question. I finally bought an Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/Capacitive Touch. Until now I've got the TFT screen working. The screen update is really slow, because the LCD a lot of memory to fill over SPI transfers. For my purpose to visualize the status of my application and presenting keys for pairing it's doing ok.

There are multiple LCD extensions available. The PCA10028 has the same form factor as Arduino Uno. So LCD extensions that fit into Uno will fit into PCA10028 as well.

Hi Adrian, if you're just looking to experiment with passkeys it would probably be quicker to set up UART on the nRF51, and use the Virtual COM port on the pca10028 to input/output passkeys to a serial terminal on your computer. Having a keypad shield would certainly be useful in many cases though, so that's a good idea!
