Hi all,

Can anyone confirm if panel orientation is working with V5.1 plus on a CGMicroboard2.

Here is my tests :-

OPTION TOUCH 18, 14
OPTION SDCARD 49
> TEXT 50,50,"TEST"
> OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9341,P,21,22,23
Restart the Micromite+
> Micromite Plus MMBasic Ver 5.1

TEXT 50,50,"TEST" always displays the same way.

Thanks Jim,

Another case of not reading the manual well enough!

Any thoughts (other than obvious - it's busted) on this error:-

> GUI CALIBRATE
Error: Touch hardware failure

I start the calibration and get the above error on release of the SECOND point. That to me says the touch must of worked OK for the first point. The panel was working OK before a rewire.

This was something that I added in 5.1. Previously the calibration routine did not report an error if the touch controller was not working.

Due to the way that touch works the calibration routine cannot be sure if the reading from the first calibration point is valid or not. But, if the second reading is the same as the first, it knows that something is wrong. Hence the error message on the second touch.

Thanks Geoff,

I will replace the panel in this project and use it somewhere I do not want to use touch.
