STMPE610 - Problem with Touch Detection

Posted on May 22, 2013 at 16:47

Hi Forum users,

I try to bring in my project all the advantages that a TFT Display with touchscreen promises. The touchscreen controller STMPE610 with the Displaytech's TFT Display, DT028ATFT-TS, is used but unfortunately till now I cannot make it work.The Initialisation commands are sent with I2C and it seems that works fine.

According to the attached schematic ''TS-Controller_Circuit.JPG'', the IN2 and IN3 are not used and I connected them to the GND with a 10k resistor in between. The capacitors connected to the signal lines TFT_YU, TFT_YD, TFT_XR and TFT_XL are not 2pF but 2.2nF 0603. The interrupt signal TS_INT is connected to an MCU input (R8, pull-up resistor).

Now, getting to the point ... I have measured the following voltages with or without touching the surface

 Vio = 3.28V

 V_XL or V_X- = 3.27V

 V_XR or V_X+ = 0V

 V_YU or V_Y+ = 0V

 V_YD or V_Y- = 0V

and no interrupt is generated. What seems the problem? Probably is my misunderstanding of the controller, so pls could you tell me where I've got it all wrong???

Thanks a lot all of you, in advance!!!

P.S. This is the initialisation code

void STMPE610_Init(void)

    __delay_cycles(1000);

    

    //STMPE610_Write(SYS_CTRL2, 0x0F);     // Disable TSC and ADC Blocks
