Pi Touch screen programming

[stuartwili]

Hi,
would it be possible to have some examples of a simple program that runs on a PI using the standard Pi Touch screen. showing how to use a bit map image, including simple buttons that output simple response when pressed.
cheers
Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

Do you know what touch sensor IC the touch screen uses? I'll put together an example for you.

As for loading bitmaps v10 has the capability to load files from the internal memory. If you're using v8 then you may need to place a second SD card onto the IO pins of the PI and use this to store your bitmap image files.

Hi Ben,

have you made an example program that uses a Bit map image on the standard PI touchscreen.
i have spoken with my electronics designer we will be upgrading to V10 shortly.

Hi Ben,

i have now found out the touch screen uses EDT 5406 controller. we are now working in V10 flow code.
