Touchscreen #75

I know I must have missed something, but I've been through the user guide and readme and can't for the life of me figure this out. I have bought a Waveshare 1024×600, 10.1 inch Capacitive Touch LCD Screen. When I do ./fruitbox --config-buttons, each button is registered as left mouse click. I have then gone into fruitbox.btn and changed them all to touch, but still nothing. What am I doing wrong!? I have seen in some forums and queries that some users enter their TouchDevice at the start of the fruitbox.btn file but I haven't actually seen this in an instruction anywhere. Did I miss it? Any help greatly appreciated as I am so close to the end of my project. Thanks. Chuffy

To add, when I run 'sudo ./fruitbox --config-buttons --calibrate-touch' it comes up to press top left target but the screen is unresponsive. Maybe it's just this screen model. I saw in the forum a few others having issues with it. The touchscreen does work though - I use it on the Rasbian desktop and have used it in ts_calibrate.

Hi Chuffy,

Maybe it's the same problem I've had with ELO touchscreens, which work slightly differently to the one I have (official Pi 7" touchscreen). I've got the ELO touchscreen support in fruitbox working now but it won't be released until v2 comes out

Thanks for getting back to me, Mike. Much appreciated. No probs - will wait for V2 to come and fingers crossed that fixes it. Really enjoying fruitbox in my test set up - just hoping I can get the touch screen to work on my project. Keep up the good work - great, fun piece of software.
