{Problem} RPI3
Can someone help me with my touchscreen? I’m pulling my hair out. I’ve ran the install.sh and also tried manually.
I've tried these instructions: http://markamc.traki-iski.co.uk/raspberry-pixbian-egalax-touchscreen/#comment-24158 When I do the calibration it sees my inputs and apparenly calibrates to my touches. UIMapper is running. I can test with the “evtest” and see input across the entire screen. I have an Eledunio M101 10″ touchscreen – 1080p 60hz /dev/input/event0: ILITEK Multi-Touch-V3000 /dev/input/event1: ILITEK Multi-Touch-V3000 /dev/input/event2: uimapper – touchscreen Maybe I’m having issue becase this is a multi-point touchscreen? I’m getting the only works in the upper left corner thing. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ll PAY FOR A FIX! I’m desperate. Thanks -adam |

RE: {Problem} RPI3
Kodi v17 reads directly from /dev/input...
So it should not make any difference if touch is connected via USB or GPIO. But you have to set values in advancedsettings.xml. And this is a lot of try and error |

When I run the command below I find my touchscreen is event3 not 0.. cat /dev/input/event0 NOTE** (It's event3 when I have my mouse and KB plugged in. If I unplug those and reboot and run the stuff over SSH it is event0... I've tried both ways) So I use: TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event3 ts_calibrate But then the calibration app ts_calibrate doesn't see my touches. Any ideas? Code: Setting up the touchscreen for Kodi |

RE: {Problem} RPI3
I can see where you say that you really only need to edit/or create advancedsettings.xml. So I created it and entered the <Touchscreen> code using values (below) that I captured during a different failed calibration attempt.
I still can only get control in the upper right of the screen. "Good start values can be calculated by dividing the screen resolution by the calibration values above (e.g. for x: 800/3982=~0.2 and 480/3883=~0.124)." OLD Calib. data. -121 16552 78 9624 1920/16552 = .1159980 1080/9624 = .1122194 |

RE: {Problem} RPI3
And you're running Kodi v17 aka Krypton?
And advancedsettings.xml has to be in folder /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata |

RE: {Problem} RPI3
I see where you say you only really need to either create/add the <touchscreen> info to the advancedsettings.xml
i've done so using data i i got from a prior calibration. -121 16552 78 9624 1920/16552 = .1159980 1080/9624 = .1122194 ******edit I've looked at the logs and it seems it isn't loading any information from the advancedsettings.xml in the \xbian-kodi\userdata directory... probably why my settings don't do anything... How can I force it to load it or is there another location I should be using? (16th Nov, 2016 09:31 AM)Nachteule Wrote: And you're running Kodi v17 aka Krypton? Yes. Kodi 17.0-BETA5 Git:2016-10-26-0f6196c Here is my log: Code: 17:32:08 1961.541504 T:1954263776 NOTICE: special://profile/ is mapped to: special://masterprofile/ I GOT IT...well it's taking input. I'll get it now. I just edited the advancedsettings.xml in the XBMC folder that is was reading. **********EDIT Maybe not. It seemed to have taken it the first reboot, now, it doesn't read the <touchscreen> addition to the .xml. WTF am I doing wrong? |

RE: {Problem} RPI3
Turns out KODI detected the screen as a keyboard. I couldn't get it working in the end. Boxed it up and it is on it's way back to Amazon... Funny, after i boxed it up, Eleduino emailed me back and told me they tried very hard to get it working too, but failed. Maybe they should of included that tid bit of information on the product listing.
OH WELL... Now, a new question, are there any other 1080p 7"-10" touchscreens that are confirmed working? |
