No detailed description exists yet for this component

An example of how to calibrate and read a resistive touch display overlay using the component.

Calibration is stored into EEPROM memory so as to avoid having to repeat it on every power up.

	Calibrate
Performs a calibration routine which draws a circle at the top left of the screen followed by the bottom right of the screen, from these coordinates the component can work out the corresponding X,Y pixel coordinate.
- UINT	Margin
Margin from the edge of the display, Range 0-63
- UINT	Radius
Radius of the calibration touch marker, should be <= margin
- VOID	Return

	GetCalibrationValues
Returns one of five calibration values used to configure the touchscreen. Populated automatically after running the calibration macro. Allows calibration data to be retrieved and stored into EEPROM by the user.
- BYTE	Index
Range: 0-4 Where 0=Xmin, 1=Xmax, 2=Ymin, 3=Ymax, 4=Flags
- UINT	Return

	GetCoord
Gets the coordinate from the last valid touch event
- BYTE	Index
0=X, 1=Y
- UINT	Return

	IsTouched
Check to see if display has been touched
- BOOL	Return

	SetCalibrationValues
Sets the calibration values used to configure the touchscreen. Allows the touchscreen to be re-calibrated from EE memory after a power cycle without re-running the calibration macro.
- UINT	Xmin
Calibration value ADC representin Min X
- UINT	Xmax
Calibration value ADC representin Max X
- UINT	Ymin
Calibration value ADC representin Min Y
- UINT	Ymax
Calibration value ADC representin Max Y
- UINT	Flags
Flags variable containing margin and X/Y flip status
- VOID	Return

	SetOrientation
Sets the orientation of the touchscreen to match the orientation of the graphical display.
- BYTE	Orientation
Range: 0-3 default = 0
- VOID	Return

	Configuration
	X Pixel

	Y Pixel

	Trigger Pressure
Reading between X and Y which signifies a valid touch pressure.
	Acceptable Noise
Amount of acceptable noise on the input between samples before we allow a valid touch to be recorded.
	Sense Loop Count
Number of times to sample and compare the touch to confirm a valid touch press.
	Average ADC Count
Number of ADC samples used to create an averaged ADC input reading to help reduce input noise.
	Sample Timing (us)
Microsecond delay in between each of the averaged samples.
	ADC options
	VRef option
Defines what is used as the ADC maximum reference. ADC Range = GND to VRef Voltage VDD - Defines the microcontrollers power supply pin as the max reference, VREF+ Pin - Dedicated pin on the microcontroller to allow for a variable reference voltage.
	Conversion speed
Clock setting to select how fast the ADC peripheral will perform an ADC conversion. The FRC setting is based on a RC time base and so will vary with temperature and pressure. Other settings are generally based on divisions of the master clock.
	Acquisition cycles
Number of micro seconds to wait for the ADC input to charge before starting the analogue sample.
	Simulation
	Enable Interrupt

	Interrupt Macro
