Hello, I am using a Fez Cobra with TFT 4.5". After update (with MFDleploy) EMX from 4.1.3 to 4.1.5, TinyBooter (4.1.3) report LCD= 320x240. How can I set correctly 480x272 system metrics???.

Thanks in advance
Robert

you have to go through the one-off configuration change. If you have the 4.3" LCD from GHI, you can see the configuration code on the DOWNLOADS section of [url]http://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/241[/url], which then ends up at [url]http://www.ghielectronics.com/downloads/FEZ/Cobra/LCD_Example_4_3_Inch.cs[/url]

Thank you very much Brett !!!. Running the example the LCD size is OK.

Finally, I modify the project GHIGraphicalDemo (Program.cs) to adjust (very basic) the calibration:
…
// Enable touch
Touch.Initialize(program);

        // Add Set touch calibration data.
        const int CAL_POINTS = 5;
        short[] sx = new short[CAL_POINTS] { 240, 48, 48, 432, 432 };
        short[] sy = new short[CAL_POINTS] { 136, 26, 246, 246, 26 };
        short[] cx = new short[CAL_POINTS] { 478, 189, 169, 781, 790 };
        short[] cy = new short[CAL_POINTS] { 481, 238, 741, 767, 231 };
        Microsoft.SPOT.Touch.Touch.ActiveTouchPanel.SetCalibration(CAL_POINTS, sx, sy, cx, cy);
        // End Add

TouchCollectorConfiguration.CollectionMethod = CollectionMethod.Native;
