    Lightbulb Pic Basic TouchScreen? How?

    Hey.
    I want to ask if some of you guys know anything to control a TouchScreen without using a ADC Chip, just the PIC A/D Inputs (I'm using PIC2550)

    Hope you can help me out with my 4 wire TouchScreen

    Best Regards
    Thomas Jespersen

    Yes........
    more details=more chance to have help. resistive, capacitive, UFO driven or what? Any model/brand ?

    I got some from CircuitEd.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    I don't want to buy it form CircuitED as the freight cost is so expensive as i live in Europe
    But if it was cheaper (the freight) then i would like to buy the RGB GLCD With TouchScreen!

    But i've found this instead, and it's from a shop in Europe, so it's perfect

    This is the datasheet for the TouchScreen: http://www.mikroe.com/pdf/touch_scre...cification.pdf
    And if you look at nearly the bottom of this page, you see
    Graphic LCD 128x64 with TouchScreen | $24.00USD

    Thank You

    Seems to be the same i have.. It's a Resistive one, the GLCD controller is this Grandpa KS0108.

    The following could give you few hints...

    Talking I want some precision, but with POT or RCTime commands ...

    Hi, Thomas

    you,ve the "official" scheme on the MkE Databook for EasyPic boards...

    Thumbs down

    Yes but you really don't need all of those extra transistors, resistors, capacitors stuff...

    If you carefully read and understand the documents above, you'll see how easy it is.

    I think SteveB already post a code snip for that last year or so. I Haven't compared mine with his one yet.

    One more

    Another one? Why not

    Hi, Steve ...

    When it works fine ... I consider the solution as GOOD !!!

    No extra brain twist required ... LOL !

    May be ... just have a better-than-genuine data acquisition ( just move stylus quickly, and you'll understand what I mean ... hé,hé ! )
    May be ... also some better linearity enhancements ???

    The last one is the only with a code snippet, but it isn't in PBP!
    but i will try and read all the documents, but i am not good at ADC in PBP ;-)

    It's exactly the same draver as Alain's EasyPIC 5 board.

    It may help.. but i stand to tell you don't need it.

    But if i don't buy that, i would need to make a circuit who are correcting the Touch Values into the 0-5V range, right?
    But do you have a PBP Example, because you sounds like you know alot, as i don't!

    Begin with the following...

    Then send your results to your PC or any LCD, then try to understand what happen.

    Yes, you'll still need to play with high/low, ADC conversion etc etc... hence why i told you that you don't need it.. even your new compiler haven't it built-in

    New Compiler?
    But could you please look at this datasheet, and tell me what ports that should go to what (X+, X-, Y-, X- as there is in the PBP code, but this have some others)
