RA8875 ZIP file for library

 

All:

Since our web site is still contaminated, I have uploaded the library file to this web site in the Files section.

RA8875 Library

 

Where can we get the RA8875 Library when the Hamradiodesign site is compromised?


Re: touch screen

 

For some reason, it's beginning to sound like the EEPROM is not getting written to. See what the EEPROM debug functions return which I mention in another post.

i got the touch screen to work( miswired) and ran the calibration
routine but now it appears that the calibration is not right. have run
the calibration several times with the same results.

the buttons do not respond as i thought they should.? if i press the
1800 key i get the 1500 instead.? the top line of red buttons do not
work at all.? the other side on the display seems to work though.

should the response time be 2-3 sec

Re: touch screen

 

Dave:

JackAl maintains a list of two sets of EEPROM values. They are referenced by the symbolic constants EEPROMDEFAULTOFFSET and EEPROMUSEROFFSET. Around line
980 in the JackAl.ino file, you will see:

#ifdef DEBUG
? ShowEEPROMValues();
#endif


If you add the following statement:

#ifdef DEBUG
? ReadEEPROMSettings(EEPROMUSEROFFSET);
? ShowEEPROMValues();
#endif

you can get a display of the values you have written to EEPROM on the Serial monitor. If you change the argument to the ReadEEPROMSettings() to EEPROMDEFAULTOFFSET you will be able to see the default values for EEPROM. This assumes that you have line 4 in the JackAl.h header file uncommented:

#define DEBUG??????????????? // Comment out when not debugging

As you can see, pins 7 and 8 are tied together, as are pins 3 and 4. Both of these are GND connections on J4.
