Touch_Active

Syntax

Assignment Variable = Touch_Active

Overview

Indicates if the graphic LCD's resistive touch membrane has been touched.

Parameters

None Assignment Variable can be any valid variable type and holds 1 if the touch screen membrane has been touched with sufficient force.

Example

' Demonstrate the Touch_Active command
'
  Device = 24HJ128GP502             ' Select the device to compile for
  Declare Xtal = 79.23
  Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600     ' USART1 Baud rate
  Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14   ' Select the pin used for TX with USART1
'
' Setup the ADS7846 touch screen chip's pins
'
  Declare Touch_DINPin = PORTB.13   ' Connect to the ADS7846 DIN pin
  Declare Touch_DOUTPin = PORTB.12  ' Connect to the ADS7846 DOUT pin
  Declare Touch_CLKPin = PORTB.11   ' Connect to the ADS7846 CLK pin
  Declare Touch_CSPin = PORTB.9     ' Connect to the ADS7846 CS pin

Notes.

The touch screen commands used by the compiler are for use with an ADS7846 touch screen controller device. This device uses an SPI interface and connects to a 4-wire resistive touch screen membrane to give X and Y coordinates, as well as touch pressure.

The routines must be incorporated into the BASIC program by use of an include file named "TouchScreen.inc". This is written in Positron16 BASIC so that modifications or improvements are easy. It also exposes how the touch screen is interfaced with.

A suitable circuit for the ADS7846 touch screen controller is shown below:
