Noob needs help with Elo Touchscreen

SGaist

You can use ts_calibrate

Vulpecula

Sorry for my delay but I wasn't able to respond sooner. When I type ts_calibrate i get the following message.

ts_open: No such file or directory

Could you help me again with this problem?

SGaist

Did you setup the environment variables for ts_calibrate to run properly ?

Vulpecula

[edit]

I've founded that i allready installed tslib via apt-get. I think the git install was conflicting with the already installed tslib. No I removed the tslib via apt-get and install from this git directory. Now ts_calibrate works. I have calibrated the screen. Also ts_test returns values.

But when I run my program (see below) from QT creator and hit the blue rectangle nothing happens. The program had to close. When i put the rectangle in the left upper corner and run the program and touch the screen the rectangle get hit and the program close. So the touch works only the movement of the mouse cursor doesn't go to the point where the touch is. The mouse arrow stays in the left upper corner. Can you tell me what I'm forgetting?

My QML code

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    visible: true

    Rectangle {
        x:100;y:100;width:100;height:100
        color: "blue"

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: {
            Qt.quit();
        }
    }
    }
    Text {
        text: qsTr("Hello World")
        anchors.centerIn: parent
    }
}

Vulpecula

I have added the following to the run arguments -plugin Tslib and gets the following message in de QTCreator application output windows

ts_open() failed (No such file or directory)

But when I do ts_calibrate of ts_test on my raspberry everything works. Can someone help me with this?

SGaist

Did you check the environment variables of the Run part in the Project panel ?

Vulpecula

Thank you for your reply. I have it finally working. With the following environment variables. Especially the LD_PRELOAD was important. After adding that variable the touchscreen starting to work. I think its because I used tslib from github . Thanks for you patience.

Environment variables

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libts-0.0.so.0
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/plugins
QT_QPA_FONTDIR=/usr/lib/fonts
QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS=tslib:/dev/input/event0
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs
QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/plugins/platforms
TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/home/pi/pointercal
TSLIB_CONFFILE=/usr/local/etc/ts.conf
TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/local/lib/ts
TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0
TSLIB_TSEVENTTYPE=INPUT

SGaist

So you have it working now properly ?

Vulpecula

@SGaist

Well, I tought it works completely but there is one problem. When I push on the MouseArea the cursor is going to that position where I push but most of the time there is not a onclicked event triggered. When I push multiple times on the mousearea sometime the onclick event will be triggered, maybe 1 out of 10 á 15 times.

I have connected the touchscreen to a Windows machine en every push on the screen is triggered. This is why I thing that there is something wrong with my tslib configuration.

Can you help me with this problem?

SGaist

Did you run ts_calibrate ?

Vulpecula

Yes, and it works fine. I also got a pointercal file. And ts_test works also. Maybe the debug output is usefull.

This are all the environment variable. Arguments field is empty.

When i insert a USB mouse into the raspberry the mouse works directly and every mouseclick is triggered

[edit]

Adding one more variable did the trick.

QT_QPA_EGLFS_DISABLE_INPUT=1

Thank you for your help. It now works totally fine. Topic can be set as Solved

SGaist

Great !

Thanks for sharing your findings !

You can mark it as solved :) Use the "Topic Tool" button and change the type of the thread to a question, then you'll be able to mark it as solved :)

I just started from scratch with my raspberry pi and ubuntu installation. I first installed my raspberry pi with tslib from kergoth. After that I followed the cross compile tutorial RaspberryPi2EGLFS. When I was done I opened my QT project and tried to run the project, but now I get a segmentation fault error. Could some tell me what's wrong?

Start it with the debugger then you'll be able to get a stack trace.

Sorry for reopening this issue. It seems to be that i forgot a crucial part of my notes for reinstalling my setup. After following the steps on this page I've got it working again. Thanks for replying again.
