TM4C129XNCZAD: How to get started on touch screen design, any user groups?

Part Number: TM4C129XNCZAD

I'm taking over a project that uses this microcontroller and the instrument has a touch screen, the same one on the development kit board.  I have never done touch screen programming before, and the code has lots of functions, like tPushButtonWidget, tCanvasWidget, CircularButtonStruct, RectangularButtonStruct, and so on.

When I search the project I don't come up with any more information on these things.

How do I start learning about all these?

In the old days I attended a local user group for National Instruments LabVIEW.  Is there any such thing for embedded developers?  Any way to meet and talk with other programmers?

Thanks,

Mark

  • Hi Mark,

      In TivaWare SDK you can find many of the examples in C:\ti\TivaWare_C_Series-2.2.0.295\examples\boards\dk-tm4c129x that will display the outputs on the LCD screen. In interact with the LCD using buttons you can run the grlib_demo project. This demo contains a series of panels show different features of the graphic library. For each panel, the bottom provides a forward and back button, along with a brief description of the contents of the panel.

      Please also refer to graphic library user's guide https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spmu300

      This app note https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spma082 will be also useful for instroduction to TivaWare graphic library.
