FTXXXX_Touchscreen_Driver

Go bindings for touchscreen implementations for FT62xx and FT5x06 touchscreens

Usage

Get the library into your GOPATH

go get github.com/electrocatstudios/FTXXX_Touchscreen_Driver

Then in your file include the following:

import touchscreen "github.com/electrocatstudios/FTXXXX_Touchscreen_Driver"

Code Example

t := touchscreen.Touchscreen{}
t.Init()

numTouches, _ := t.GetTouchesCount()
if numTouches > 0 {
    touch, _ := t.GetTouches()
    fmt.Printf("X: %d, Y: %d\n", touch.X, touch.Y)
}

Note on coordinates

It may be necessary to translate the points received. The position of the points is presented in portrait mode so you may need to rotate depending on your screen orientation. On the ili9341 (FT62XX) screen in landscape mode (for example) the points are as follows:

(0,320)                   (0,0)
X-------------------------X
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
X-------------------------X
(240,320)                 (240,0)

For the official Raspberry Pi touchscreen (FT5X06) the coordinates are as follows:

(0,0)                   (800,0)
X-------------------------X
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
X-------------------------X
(0,480)                 (800,480)
