Examples

An example of how to sample read a capacitive touch display overlay using the component.

FT6X06 Demo

Macro reference

Initialise

Initialise
Activates the SPI peripheral and claims control over the I/O pins. 
- VOID Return


ReadCoord

ReadCoord
Reads a coordinate returned from the Sample Sensor macro. Coordinate is scaled to the X/Y Pixel bounds specified. 
- BYTE Coordinate
0 = X, 1 = Y, 2 = Pressure 
- BYTE Index
Touch Index Range: 0 - 1 
- UINT Return


SampleSensor

SampleSensor
Reads the touch controller and returns true if there is currently a touch in progress. The touch coordinates can be read using the ReadCoord macro. Return 0 = No Touch, 1 = Single touch detected, 2 = Two touch points detected 
- BYTE Return


SetOrientation

SetOrientation
Allows the orientation to be overridden. 
- BYTE Orientation
Range: 0 - 3 
- VOID Return

Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.  
Connections
SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal) 
SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal) 
Configuration
Apply Scaling
 
X Pixel
 
Y Pixel
 
Flip X
 
Flip Y
 
Simulation
Label
Label used to identify the component on the panel. 
Enable Interrupt
 
Interrupt Macro
Macro called when the simulated display fires an interrupt. 
Simulate Comms
Allows the I2C communications to be simulated and piped through an API to real world hardware.
