Sure. You should also cc Al (AC8GY) as he's the EE genius behind things.

I'm finishing up (hopefully) installing the hardware into the case and I'll try to dig into some of the earlier versions of the teensyloader and libraries to see if I can stumble upon anything.

Richard, I am using the libraries pointed out in the JackAl.h file in the 0.96 version with the ones from the files replacing the ones sourced from .
I have used the libraries called out in the installingnewlibraries.doc to begin with but moved to the JackAl.h recommended libraries before getting a successful compile.

Re: 5" touchscreen issues

 

Negative, using the 5" resistive touch pad per the JackAl instructions. I too suspect a library is off - if anyone has a list of the libraries? and teensy 3.6 software version that were proven to work with the 5" display that would be helpful.

Re: 5" touchscreen issues

 

Copied error from the IDE window and added here for comparison.
I removed dup libraries just to clean up the error messages using the libraries called out by the JackAl docs.

Jack, is library that you added to this thread the sumotoy library?
If I remember right, I got these errors at one point then grabbed the RA8874 lib from the group files to fix.


Re: 5" touchscreen issues

 

Try this one - it is a zipped pdf.

I can't open the file.

Re: 5" touchscreen issues

 

Copy your current RA8875 library out of the Teensy's library directory and put the attached new library in its place. See if that makes a difference.

What are the libraries and teensy software version that were known to work? I¡¯m suspicious of the V1.52 teensy libraries since the problem occurs using the recommended RA8875 library and latest JackAl s/w. Perhaps brute force but maybe a straight up comparison of what worked vs. current is a good starting point?
