Microtouch touchscreen

Hello:

The question description is the following:

I use the MICROTOUCH touchscreen, but I can’t make it work normally.

  1. The circumstance:
    (1). Microtouch touchscreen itself is OK.It can work normally in PC/Windows.
    Only its Neutrino driver work abnormally.
    (2). My touchscreen controller type is the “Serial/SMT3V” controller.
    I first configure the controller’s parameters in PC/Windows98:
    The communication parameters: data bits–8,stop bits–1,no parity, baud
    rate: 9600
    Data Format and Operation Mode: Format Tablet(FT), Mode Stream(MS).
    (3). I use serial port1 to connect the touchscreen
    (4). I use the ADVANTECH PCM-5820 IPC.

  2. Execute steps:
    (1). Run “devi-microtouch microtouch fd -d/dev/ser1”
    but its prompt message is: Can’t find calibration file.
    (2). We touch the touchscreen, find the cursor is moved to an invisible
    area.
    Move the visible area again by mouse, touch the touchscreen again,
    the result is that the cursor is moved to an invisible area again.

  3. The reason that I analyze the error:
    (1) Touchscreen and Neutrino OS have built the connection.
    (2) Touchscreen driver is in work.
    (3) The communication parameters are right.
    (4) Data Format and Operation Mode might be error.
    (5) No calibration file.

  4. Solution:
    (1) From Neutrino Help file, I can’t find the materials about the microtouch
    touchscreen driver.
    May you afford the materials of microtouch touchscreen driver? I’d like
    to know its working flow.
    (2) Which kind of data format does the microtouch touchscreen driver use?
    We are using Format tablet(FT): the first byte—status byte; the second
    and third bytes—X coordinate(
    range: 0 to 16383); the last two bytes—Y coordinate (range: 0 to 16383).
    Please refer to Page 50 of touchscreen.pdf.
    (3) What is the Calibration file? How to write it? How is it used by the
    driver? What directory should it be placed?
    (4) Please help me to analyze the cause of error!

Try to run acalib after the driver?

a utility to calibrate the touch screen, available under
QNX4, but apparently not under RTP.
Please ignore advice…

There was no calibration utility shipped with the RTP. It will be available
in the next patch.
