V6.03.00RC16
PicoMiteRP2040V6.03.00RC16.zip
PicoMiteRP2350V6.03.00RC16.zip

VGA/HDMI USB builds have additional touch panel support.

non-VGA/HDMI builds now support GT911 capacitive touch controllers as well as FT63x6 controllers. VGA and HDMI builds do not and will not support direct GT911 touch controllers. You can buy a very cheap I2C to USB module for any screens that use a GT911 and don't already have the touch over USB

All builds except PICOMITEMIN, PICOMITEVGA RP2040, and WEBMITE RP2040 now support touch gestures. Obviously only multi-touch controllers support expand/contract/CCW/CW/double tap gestures but even resistive XPT2046 TFT screens now support swipe gestures.

All builds except PICOMITEMIN, PICOMITEVGA RP2040, and WEBMITE RP2040 now support two new touch functions TOUCH(XN num) and TOUCH(YN num). Setting num to zero in either function will return the number of current simultaneous touches. Setting num to a non-zero value will return the coordinates of that touch.
e.g.

Dim x(10),y(10)
Do
If Touch(yn 0) Then
For i=1 To Touch(yn 0)
x(i)=Touch(xn i)
y(i)=Touch(yn i)
Next
Pixel x(),y(),RGB(white)
EndIf
Loop

I'm not aware of any previously reported bugs in this release

Coming soon:
HMDIBTH firmware. This combines HDMIUSB and bluetooth LE host functionality allowing for small self contained computers to be built with wireless keyboards and trackpads

Wow – this genuine n-Multitouch is just absolutely brilliant!

Minor update to WebMite RP2350 to support RSA encryption - see Wolfram Alpha thread for more details/example. No version change

Last try. If this doesn't work then I think we have to assign that monitor as "non-supported". Every other touch monitor that has been tested AFAIK now works. You should see two devices connect. The multi-touch digitizer and a USB touchscreen. Make sure you test without a USB mouse also connected. It may be that only single touch via the USB touchscreen works but that would be a win.

PicoMite.zip

We have a response to touch!!

When Pico powered up and USB-touch attached I get the following:

GUI TEST TOUCH works for single finger, and with 2 fingers will respond to the 'last' finger (although difficult to see for certain as the screen fills up with data making it hard to see the touch-pixels.).

UNPLUGGING the usb-touch results in:

Multi-touch Disconnected
> USB Touchscreen Disconnected

And reconnecting USB touch seems to now re-initialise correctly (i.e. I do NOT see the previous 'device limit reached' error).

I will now try the FW you posted at the top of this page in the hope that will work too (but without all the debug messages!!)....

Hi Matthias,

Yes, it works (without all the debug messaging) but for now only for a single touch point.

So now I’m a bit curious to know if this screen has a non-standard data structure for multi-touch bearing in mind it supports 10-points and works as such when connected to a Windows laptop. Or whether there is simply more decoding required of the data sent.

Very happy with a single touch; but I do have a need for 3-point touch ideally with the amazing image this screen puts out.

We can't now take this any further unless you can do a USBPcap/Wireshark capture while the monitor enumerates and you touch with two fingers.

Hi Peter,

I’m waiting for another smaller OLED touchscreen to arrive and hopefully that will work with multi-touch as I really like the ‘true-black’ at any angle. Trouble is, that screen is on a ‘slow-boat’.

Also have some other IPS screens here to re-try with the latest firmware for other projects where backlight-wash won’t be an issue.

I may get back to you regarding sniffing this screen if I can’t work it out with Google.

Thanks for getting a single touch working with this OLED, that is definitely a big help with other ideas.

WhiteWizzard,

what sort of touch controller is it? You might even find a detailed explanation of it, just like the one provided here. If only all companies would provide information like this

There's USB as well as I2C explained:

Relating to Memory sharing

matherp said It should work but I haven't tested recently. Are both RP2350s running at the same cpu speed?.

Yes, but since then
I was able to get Memory sharing running with the experimental
MMBasic RP2040 vga version from back when
Memory sharing was first announced.
But I’m not having any luck with the current
RC version at all. Tried it on RP2040 and RP2350A.

Hello Peter!

I just playing with longstrings and found an interesting behavior.
If I have a longstring for example lg() its length is 500 character.
If I write LGETSTR$(lg(),500,1) I get the last character of the long string.
If I write LGETSTR$(lg(),501,1) I get an empty string. Seems normal, because no more character in the longstring.
Then I write LGETSTR$(lg(),502,1) or more then 502 the system feezes. Number of character can be not only 1, doesn’t matter how. Maybe in these cases the string has to be an empty string again, instead of freeze.

Excellent, it works great now! (Tested on 2x RP2350A HDMI)

Experimenting with the clockdiv parm is important. If set too low, the client can lock up completely and need a reset. But once the clockdiv is high enough its rock solid.

Cheers!
