Multi-touch pure Python driver for the official 7" touchscreen display.

python-multitouch's Issues

After latest Pi update ft5406 driver reports RuntimeError: Unable to locate touchscreen device

After latest upgrade ft5406.py raises 'RuntimeError: Unable to locate touchscreen device'

To replicate: download PiOs, update to latest version, download ft5406.py, make python file containing 'using events' test code, run file using python 3 in Thonny

error raised by line: self._f_device = io.open(self._touch_device(), 'rb', self.EVENT_SIZE)

Tested on different machines and different screens.

change pygame.event loop

I've been going through the examples and it's still escaping me how to change from the pygame tslib event reading over to the ft5406.

My use is pretty simple, I just want to capture touch events (press right now but motion later) so I an pass the x,y coordinates to check for a collision with a sprite.

Do I need to change more than just adding in the for touch in ts.loop()?

ImportError: No module named queue

I followed all the steps and installed everything.
when I run my python app I get this
$ sudo python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 6, in
from ft5406 import Touchscreen, TS_PRESS
File "/home/pi/ft5406.py", line 19, in
ImportError: No module named queue

Also when I run the following command
$ dmesg | grep -i ft5406
[ 3.987815] rpi-ft5406 rpi_ft5406: Probing device
[ 4.027597] input: FT5406 memory based driver as /devices/virtual/input/input2

ImportError: No module named gui

Hello,

I'm getting an issue "ImportError: No module named gui" when trying to run the example, which modules do I need to install to get this driver working?

Support for screen rotation?

Rotating the 7" touchscreen by adding

display_rotate=1
lcd_rotate=1

to /boot/config.txt causes touches to be reported in the wrong locations. Is it possible to support this condition, or at least manually edit ft5406.py? I'm not planning on switching between different screen orientations.

NO module renamed Remi.

I'm Running IDLE 3.6.3 on Windows 10. How to Install the Remi Zip?

Update touchscreen event name

The check is limited right now. It would be useful to take this as a value in the call so it can be more generic.
