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-u8-icon.png - BYTE Index
Touch Index Range: 0 - 1 
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 = Single touch detected, 2 = Two touch points detected 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return

Baud rate option selector 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png 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.

Fc9-type-10-icon.png Label
Label used to identify the component on the panel. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Enable Interrupt
 
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 I2C communications to be simulated and piped through an API to real world hardware.
