RobG 1,892 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's resistive type, QR4. I will play with the touch panel once I get my new boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Finally, the boards are here. Will have to test the touch functionality now. GeekDoc, bluehash, CorB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leahy268 0 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Been looking forward to seeing these available to buy... Over here in oz.. Would love to be able to get 1 or 2 of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I am still waiting for LCDs, should be here any day now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You make me drool in anticipation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 LCDs are here, will ship them in few days (SA, yours is shipping on Monday so you don't have to drool anymore ) BTW, the touch chip will not be included, you have to get one and solder it by yourself. I can get them, but that would further delay this board. xpg and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sweet! Touch menu system and control, totally adding this to my bar light project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
username 198 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Is there a pre order for there goodies? Looks awesome as always RobG! Will keep an eye on the 43oh store. Hopefully I can manage to get one of these before they sell out. Any info regarding the touch chip and what all is required to get it to work? Either way, a 2.2" SPI based screen for that price is darn nice regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorB 64 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi RobG, Neat to see this project also nearing its "public" phase, I am also interested to pre-order. regards CorB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not sure if I should laugh or cry, but it seems that this board is cursed. After unsuccessful tests with my first board, assembled and tested the second one, still no touch. Took a closer look at the LCD, bam! datasheet is wrong again, Y-, X+, Y+, X- are actually Y-, Y+, X-, X+. No wonder the touch chip didn't work. Looks like it's going to be another 3 weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Crap.. I can offer the next batch if you like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Still needs some work, but it's a good start.With just one small adjustment to the board, I can use MSP430's ADC to read the touch panel. The speed should be comparable with touch controller chip (TSC2046's max clock speed is 2MHz.) bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Looks like the controller chip might not be necessary. Software touch works pretty good, just needs some filtering. The only thing, software touch uses P1.1-P1.4 and P2.1, so forget about UART. Hardware touch uses P1.4, P2.0, and P2.2. cubeberg, bluehash and gordon 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Not bad for the value line I would say... and of course the way you code also counts alot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
