In WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h a line needs to be uncommented for the WT32-SC01

Uncomment the following line:
// #define TFT_BACKLIGHT_ON HIGH // Level to turn ON back-light (HIGH or LOW)

Make the change above.
Then copy the file into your TFT_eSPI\User_Setups folder.
Then add the following line to your User_Setup_Select.h file:
#include <User_Setups/WT32-SC01-User_Setup.h> // Setup file for WC32-SC01
Then comment out the following line in User_Setup_Select.h:
#include <User_Setup.h> // Default setup is root library folder
Now the examples from the TFT_eSPI library (not including the touch examples) work fine.

Once this is done I am still getting "Couldn't start touchscreen controller" on the demo. :-(
