TSC2003 Glide Calibration G120

Archive

Hello,

i am trying to get running the touch collecting on my G120 module with custom LCD. I have chosen the TSC2003 as TouchScreen controller. - resistive TouchScreen, I have working communication with chip in managed. Now i am feeding Glide with coordinates. But i can’t calibrate the screen. Is there any way to do it through Glide? As i have seen the calibration in Glide source, the calibration is feeded from MS.Spot.Touch Input. Is there any way to feed my Touches from managed code to MS.Spot.Touch Input? Or is there a possibility to do it in native?

How is it done on CP7? The Touchscreen controller have calibration on chip?

Thank you very much

This is not possible but we have requested this from Microsoft, to be able to feed in touch to the system so you can utilize the built in features like calibration.

The request has been “postponed” so maybe you can add your input here http://netmf.codeplex.com/workitem/1745

Thanks Gus.
