Ok, then you must have something incorrectly set in the touch screen configuration.

BTW ctrlval(99) is not defined in that code snip.

BTW There is a problem with the code.

You have to reset ctrlval to 0, ctrlval(25) = 0, after you have called test1, otherwise the condition is ALWAYS true.

Mike.

I thought as it's a switch it always resets to 0 once you remove your finger

and ctrlval(99) is defined in that code snip. (ctrlval(99)="Forecast")

No, when it is touched it is set to 1. If another Radio button is pressed it returns to 0, it stays set to 1 in this case unless you use code to turn the button off - by setting it to 0.

Touch is definitely working
If I include these 2 lines of code in the main Do/Loop it prints 1 and 0 as expected when touched

print touch(down)
print touch(up)

IF I include it in the SUB loop when the switch is touched nothing happens, the same as the switch does nothing
I'm wondering if its a problem with the switch command

Well I just tested the code (leaving out ctrlval(99) to make sure it works as expected - It does.

The Radio button turns green and it prints out - Tomorrow touched.

Mike.

EDIT And it works with the missing GUI 99 definition included.Edited by KeepIS 2017-09-02

Have you tried this standard test for X Y position with touch.

GUI INTERRUPT MyInt

DO
Loop

Sub MyInt
Print TOUCH(X) Touch(Y)
END SUB

That's weird it does nothing yet I know the screen responds to touch because it stops the clock on the normal program

OK how about the built in test command:

GUI TEST TOUCH

It basically allows you to draw on the screen.

Run from the prompt.

Another question, why does it stop the clock? Sounds like a control pin is being shared / conflicting between the two, Touch pad and RTC perhaps?

Mike.

That is the easiest, you could also try unplugging the RTC board if it's easy just for a quick test, but something strange is going on there and at least you know it's not your code

I've just re-ran GUI CALIBRATE
deviation X = 740 Y - 49 (pixels)

that looks to me like a problem with the touch screen?

Normally it reports an error if they are way out, but yes, looks like something is not right with 720 value. Have you tried unplugging the screen and checking it fully seats when plugged back in? or could be a dry joint on either board. Also look at Touch ribbon cable on the LCD, some have a small connector on the ribbon cable.Edited by KeepIS 2017-09-02

GUI CALIBRATE should result in figures that are very close to zero if the calibration is accurate. When you run GUI CALIBRATE, you are prompted to touch and hold the target. The best accuracy is had with a touch-screen pen or stylus so you can touch exactly on the cross-hairs, but failing that, a firm touch with your finger normally does it. Figures like you are getting above would make the alignment of the touch WAY off, so would explain most of your problems - this needs to be corrected before you can get anywhere useful I would think. Do you happen to have another LCD you can test with?
