Help getting started VTFT and Clicker2 MX

#1 Post by MarkEE » 13 Aug 2020 21:37

I am having trouble getting a simple project up and running and can really use some help

Im using...
Clicker2 PIC32MX460F512L # 1717
Riverdi 7" UXB Display #2178
RiBUS Click #3642

I've done several VTFT projects in the past but I cant seem to get a sample project off the ground that will compile properly.
Can I ask the staff to generate a sample project for me? That would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Stefan,
Thank you very much. Its just what I needed, but I have one more slight difficulty.

When I regenerate VTFT code, then compile I get the error....
1227 324 Undeclared identifier '_FT812_TOUCH_OP_MODE_COMPATIBILIT' in expression Riverdi7_FT813_driver.c

on the line.....
FT812_Touch_Mode(_FT812_TOUCH_SMPL_MODE_CONTINUOUS, _FT812_TOUCH_OP_MODE_COMPATIBILIT);

Sounds like I am missing an include file or a library. I went through the libraries and switched in anything I thought may be relevant but Im still getting it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Mark

Hi Mark,

One letter is missing in _FT812_TOUCH_OP_MODE_COMPATIBILIT, add 'Y' at the end of this constant:

Code: Select all

FT812_Touch_Mode(_FT812_TOUCH_SMPL_MODE_CONTINUOUS, _FT812_TOUCH_OP_MODE_COMPATIBILITY);
I'm afraid this is a bug in the Visual TFT, I'll forward it to our developers.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.

Kind regards,
Stefan Filipović

Stefan,
I spoke too soon. Actually problems continue.
VTFT is not allowing me to hook events onto OnClick actions and is giving me compiler errors. This is aa process I've done several times with other projects so I am familiar with the process.

I dont need this problem fixed as Im switching to a different platform as Im falling behind schedule

I've decided to respin the project using 1685-Clicker 2 for STM32-STM32F407VGT6.

I hate to ask, but may I ask you once again to spin me a sample project based on that clicker board? Im hoping I have better luck with the ARM compiler/VTFT.
I'll be using ...
Clicker 2 for STM32-STM32F407VGT6 #1685
Riverdi 7" UXB Display #2178
RiBUS Click #3642

Thank you
Mark

My library manager doesn't have a check all icon. I have to select them manually (v.7.6.0). Is there a way out?

Hi,

This icon doesn't exist because it is not advisable to check all libraries as it may result in some issues, like missing external dependencies in your project.

Regards,
Filip.
