Flowcode Support Board

Hi!

I have played with one of the examble with Display manager. I have converted the display a ST7796 and the Touch to XPT2046 and the device to an ESP32 dev1. It work in simulation but I can´t compile to the target, get lot of error.

Any advice please?

Hi Jorgen,

Investigating for you now. The msg.txt file seems to be truncated so trying to replicate for myself.

The problem is caused by the XPT2046 component pin properties.

If you change $GPIO5 to $PortA.5 by clicking on the pin property and ticking the Use chip references check box then hopefully that should resolve the issue.

The $GPIO5 will work when it's used as a generic I/O pin but not currently when that is tied to a peripheral e.g. SPI.

So the XPT2046 MOSI, MISO and CLK pins will all currently need to use the chip referenced pin property types.

Here's your program adjusted so that it's now compiling correctly.

Hi Ben!

I can compile now, fine, thank you, and it work. But If I rotate the display to pos.1, all the Widget rotate as they should on the display, but the XPT2046 doesn´t follow the rotation. The touch is working outside the Widget and same area as without the rotation.

Also in simulation, how can I rotate the XPT2046 in FC11. In FC10 the touch follow the rotation?

Hi Jorgen.
With the display:
You will need to set the Orientation within display properties to either 1 or 3.
That will set display simulation orientation.

For hardware orientation, you will need to drag display SetDisplayOrientation function to match the properties value either 1 or 3

As for the XPT2046, I'm not sure to be honest Ben might know.
I think to make it easier either an orientation function requires adding as getting it to check there orientation might not be possible?

Hi Martin!

Thank´s for answer.
As you can see in my attached program, I have set the rotation to 1. The text and other display elements rotate correctly, but the XPT2046 does not follow the rotation, it is possible to test in simulation and same in "real world".

I have previously used this (rotation)in Flowcode 10 with XPT2046, where I did not have any issues with this behavior. I am not sure whether this is a bug in Flowcode 11 or if I am missing something. As you mentioned, Ben might know.

Hello,

The other touch components have their own SetOrientation macro to allow the coordinates to be remapped for rotation but this seems to have been missed for the XPT2046.

edit: The function should be available for you now via the Library Updates.

Thank you Ben, I will test and you hear. Merry Christmas.

Hi Ben!
I can now rotate the touch function on the display and the positions are correct. However, when I use the slider, it seems to split it up, and on some of the other widgets it draws a line through them. Unfortunately, the rotation for the XPT2046 does not work in the simulation, only in rotation 0
Am I missing something, please?

Hello,

To get the simulated coordintes correct simply go into the gLCD properties and scroll down to the bottom. Under simulation change the Physical orientation to match that of your hardware and then hopefully the display will re-orient itself on the panel and the simulated touch will work correctly again.

I'll look into why the slider is not redrawing itself correctly. It should be efficient and only draw the pixels that change and that works perfectly on other displays so my theory is it's something to do with the drawing routines for the specific display component you're using so I'll start the search there.

Edit - I've pushed an update now that hopefully should make a difference for the slider corruption.
