The button pressed animation is displayed but the callback is not executed every time the button is clicked

Hi everyone,

I am a student and I am working on a project involving an STM32f429ZI and a 7inch touch display.

It's the first time I work with displays, I am trying to create a GUI using touchgfx.

I have been working on it for a week now and so far I managed to :

• Implement the display and touch panel drivers (8080 MCU interface using FMC + I2C)
• generate the touchgfx files with cubeMx :
  • I'm using partial framebuffers
  • No OS
  • DMA2D hardware acceleration
• Complete the functions needed (flushFrameBuffer, signalVsync, sampletouch, ... etc)
• Create a basic GUI with a little animation and a button + interface with hardware buttons

The GUI is correctly displayed and work well on the screen, and the button animation is shown when I click on it, the only problem is that the button callback function isn't called every time I press on it.

(I mean, I have to press the button on the screen very fast several times until the callback function is finally called. When I use the debugger it works fine though)

Thank you very much for your time

First of all, sounds like you did a good job getting everything almost-working!

The UI responds according to touch input - Did you check your touch controller if you're always getting the right coordinates? And if touch is detected?

Thank you.

Well, as I said, the touch seems to be detected because we can see the button being pressed and released every time I click.

(And when I start the debugger, all works fine, the coordinates are correct and the callback is called. But when the application is normally running without the debugger, it ignores the callback)

Hello,

I tried to look every where in my code and I didn't found any thing that could explain that behavior, so I decided to create a new clean project and guess what? Every thing works fine. I don't know what detail I missed in my previous code, I wonder what went wrong, but never mind.

Thank you for your help once again :)

I missed the part where you said that the button was always being pressed, indicating that touch coordinates are correct. Strange behavior - Not something i can immediately pin point without actually trying the project, but since you already solved it :) Great
