- README on the ADC/Touchscreen Controller
- ========================================
- The LH79524 and LH7A404 include a built-in Analog to Digital
- controller (ADC) that is used to process input from a touchscreen.
- The driver only implements a four-wire touch panel protocol.
- The touchscreen driver is maintenance free except for the pen-down or
- touch threshold. Some resistive displays and board combinations may
- require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's
- internal state in the sys filesystem. If the kernel is configured
- with it, CONFIG_SYSFS, and sysfs is mounted at /sys, there will be a
- directory
- /sys/devices/platform/adc-lh7.0
- containing these files.
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 samples
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold_range
- The threshold is the current touch threshold. It defaults to 750 on
- most targets.
- # cat threshold
- 750
- The threshold_range contains the range of valid values for the
- threshold. Values outside of this range will be silently ignored.
- # cat threshold_range
- 0 1023
- To change the threshold, write a value to the threshold file.
- # echo 500 > threshold
- # cat threshold
- 500
- The samples file contains the most recently sampled values from the
- ADC. There are 12. Below are typical of the last sampled values when
- the pen has been released. The first two and last two samples are for
- detecting whether or not the pen is down. The third through sixth are
- X coordinate samples. The seventh through tenth are Y coordinate
- samples.
- # cat samples
- 1023 1023 0 0 0 0 530 529 530 529 1023 1023
- To determine a reasonable threshold, press on the touch panel with an
- appropriate stylus and read the values from samples.
- # cat samples
- 1023 676 92 103 101 102 855 919 922 922 1023 679
- The first and eleventh samples are discarded. Thus, the important
- values are the second and twelfth which are used to determine if the
- pen is down. When both are below the threshold, the driver registers
- that the pen is down. When either is above the threshold, it
- registers then pen is up.
