Macro reference

Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Activates the SPI peripheral and claims control over the I/O pins. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ReadCoord

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadCoord
Reads a coordinate returned from the Sample Sensor macro. Coordinate is scaled to the X/Y Pixel bounds specified. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Coordinate
0 = X, 1 = Y, 2 = Pressure 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT Return


SampleSensor

Fc9-comp-macro.png 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 = Touch in progress 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return

Fc9-type-22-icon.png Interrupt Macro
Macro called when the simulated display fires an interrupt. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Simulate Comms
Allows the SPI communications to be simulated and piped through an API to real world hardware.
