Touch being disabled after tft.print

[Comiter]

Hi all, I'm in the process to write some code that uses one of the BuyDisplays with RA8875 controller, running on a Arduino Pro Mini with Atmega 328 running on 5v, 16MHz. The program I am trying to write is basically a calibration program, where the user are supposed to push on red dots on the screen, while the program takes average readings of the ADC value of the RA8875. A total of 9 dots are collected. The problem I have, is that for some reason the touch is disabled after I have written some text to the Display, and I'm not able to re-enable it by code (touchEnable(true) ). If I remove the lines writing instructions and data (text) to the user, the program works fine.

So, the question is: Is there any requirements for delay between commands that is not handled by the library? I'm currently using v0.79b11p10. I have also connected a 10k pullup on the INT pin.

Best Regards Vidar

Seems like I figured out the issue. According to this post, the RA8875 need to be in graphic mode to work?

Anyhow, adding the following code to the end of void RA8875::_textWrite(const char* buffer, uint16_t len) worked for me:

`#if defined(USE_RA8875_TOUCH) if(_textMode ) _setTextMode(false);// go to graphic

endif`

Mmm, good catch, I'm gonna check this week!

i found a solution for work ok. enable the touch ,read pixel. disableb the touch, print tft and finally enable again the touch, and work fine.

Comiter solution worked for me (take care to line return.). Thanks. :)
