touch screen driver using LPC2106

Started by Gokul krishnan August 4, 2006
hello ,
I am using LPC2106 for drive touch screen (sp14q006-22A).
In this touch screen there is no LCD driver ,so we have to control everthing
from LPC only.
actually i dont know how to drive this touch screen?
if any one knows technique or code examples plz let me know.
thanks
anticipating your reply
with regards

I think the touch screen issue will not be your main problem - the sp14q006
does not have a display controller like S1D13700 on board, so as a first
step you have to connect a display controller to the LCD and your LPC and
bring it up runnning and write software for displaying fonts etc.

Regarding the touch screen: You may either use a dedicated touch panel
controller (there are many out there, have a look on Google), these usually
connect via a serial port or do everything by yourself by measuring
voltages via the LPC's ADC, this needs to connect some external FETs for
switching between X and Y direction of the touch panel. Doing everything by
yourself as we did with our iLCD panels - see at www.ilcd.org - is not a
trival issue but it can be done even with a 8-bit controller.

thanks Demmel,
i am trying to write display driver by using lpc alone is there
any option for that if so please suggest me.

with thanks & regards,
