FT6206 Library Reference

Getting data from the touchscreen is fairly straight forward. Start by creating the touchscreen object with

Adafruit_FT6206 ts = Adafruit_FT6206();

We're using hardware I2C which is fixed in hardware so no pins are defined.

Then you can start the touchscreen with

ts.begin()

Check to make sure this returns a True value, which means the driver was found. You can also call begin(threshvalue)

wish a number from 0-255 to set the touch threshhold. The default works pretty well but if you're having too much

sensitivity (or not enought) you can try tweaking it

Now you can call

if (ts.touched())

to check if the display is being touched, if so call:

TS_Point p = ts.getPoint();

To get the touch point from the controller. TS_Point has .x and .y data points. The x and y points range from 0 to 240

and 0 to 320 respectively. This corresponds to each pixel on the display. The FT6206 does not need to be 'calibrated'

but it also doesn't know about rotation. So if you want to rotate the screen you'll need to manually rotate the x/y

points!

and edges. When pressing on the touchscreen, remember you cannot use a fingernail, it must be a

fingerpad. Do not press harder and harder until the screen cracks!
