ILI9486_SPI with Touch #2

Open robpan3 opened 3 years ago

robpan3 commented 3 years ago

Hallo, Sorry, this is not a PROBLEM on your library!! But only a suggestion request. I have spent a lot of time with the Waveshare library for my 4inch RPI display without any results, but finaly I have find you ILI9486_SPI library, very easy to use. But I'd like to use also the "touch" feature. Have you any idea? Waveshare hat me answered: "This model is designed for Raspberry Pi, as well as the touch driver. It is difficult to compatible with Arduino or ESP32. We suggest that you can try to use this model which is compatible with Arduino: .......link....." But I don't want to buy another display. Thanks for any help. And sorry for my english. Roberto Graz (Austria)

Hi Roberto,

I am an "output only" display user. That's why I mostly use e-paper displays. Therefore I have nearly no experience with touch support. I believe touch support can be added independently of the display library, in most cases.

The problem with this issue is that nobody will notice it, no watchers, as this library is almost unknown.

I would suggest you create a topic in the Arduino Forum Displays, https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?board=7.0. Then the TFT display experts will notice and answer, e.g. David Prentice or Bodmer. Please provide a clickable link to your display, to see which touch controller it uses.

Depending on the processor you use, you could take a look at https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI.

FWIW - I use XPT2046_Touchscreen.h library with the Waveshare 3.5" Rpi TFT (version C)

ALSO, I'm having difficulty with this ILI9486_SPI library when using tft.fillScreen while in Landscape mode. It only fills the Left side of the screen, to about 320 pixels width is my guess (when it should be 480 pixels width).

If I have previously filled with 0x1000, this color is what remains in the "non-filled" area.
