Help with TSC2046 Touch controller

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TSC2046

Hello,

I recently bought this Display: http://imall.iteadstudio.com/display/tft-lcm/im120419005.html 

It includes an TSC2046 for controlling the Touch Screen. The thing is I can read the X and Y values in 12 bit mode without problems, but I cant find anywhere how can I convert those values to X-Y position. Even in the Datasheet, I have searched a lot and nothing.

Can anyone help me with this? I know that probably it is explained in the datasheet and the problem is I do not understand the operation of the resistive touch screens, but please if anyone can help me I will be thankful.

Best regads,

Bruno

  • Hi Bruno,

    I assume that the X-Y positions you are talking about the x & y coordinates in the LCD, right?  If yes, calibration is required.  Take a look at the application note  below. In addition, tslib is most commonly used open source calibration library.
