Hi,
I have a T35 display module connected to EMX. Everything is working except touch. I can show images on the display with the right X,Y positions…etc. But the touch event gives wrong Y values. Around 120 more then actual value.
I tried with the Example 1: Non-Gadgeteer Test Code
and C:\Users\deniz\Documents\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.2\Samples\TouchCalibration example aswell.
Can it be pin or hardware problem on the TE35?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I have the same problem with the glide examples aswell.
How can I solve this issue? How can I calibrate?
running 4.2 sdk.
Need help please.
What happens when using the calibration example?
@ denizalp -
Brett posted this sometime back
See:
C:\Users<YourUserName>\Documents\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.1\Samples\TouchCalibration
or NET Micro Framework 4.2
Hi,
Nothing happens at the end of calibration, keeps asking for a new point to touch.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a great example for screen calibration and there is the issue a to whether values are retained across application reboots. Although calibration for the current running application boils down to a call to
Microsoft.SPOT.Touch.Touch.ActiveTouchPanel.SetCalibration()
The Microsoft example involves GPIO button input processing which is probably over-the-head of many just getting starting on Gadgeteering. It also makes no attempts to make the values persistent, so to take advantage of the code, you would need to extract the portion (mostly program.cs) that does calibration and have it run as part of your applications start-up everytime.
The Glide example makes an attempt to save the configuration values in EWR (flash ram http://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=916&page=1 ) on boards that support it (EMX based boards do). But for those retained values to be used either you stick with Glide, or you extract the code from Glide that attempts to read the values from EWR and use them in the SetCalibration call. The EWR code is in the Glide library in the file GlideTouch.cs.
Neither program uses GHI drivers to access the LCD you are using, this means that if your mainbooard is configured for a different LCD chances are neither example will work until you first reconfigure LCD parameters. The easiest way to do that is with a small gadgeteer example with just the display & the board that does hello world and exits as this will cause the drivers to reconfigure the parameters (the example code in https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/133/display-t35-module#1298 shows setting parameters without the drivers).
I’ve taken all the GPIO button triggers out of the Microsoft Sample C:\Users\GHI\Documents\Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.2\Samples/TouchCalibration. This version uses a swipe of the screen as the trigger to do calibration. You would want to modify it to use some sort of trigger that suits your code.

I just used @ andre.m 's codeshare on a t43 and spider and it work great
Thanks for the replies.
I managed to calibrate succesfully.
I am having difficulties to add it to my main code.
Touch.ActiveTouchPanel.SetCalibration(5, sx, sy, cx, cy); raising execption.
So I added the code Microsoft.SPOT.Touch.Touch.Initialize( );
But what parameter shall I pass?
