Today I completed the basic touch screen driver. The task included
- Learning the "Theory of Operation" of 4 wire resistive touch screens.
- Learning the about the working of AD7843 touch screen controller IC.
- Learning about the SPI peripheral of STM32
- Writing basic SPI drivers (to init, read and write to SPI1)
- Writing basic drivers to command and read AD7843 touch screen controller.
- Filtering the touchscreen data using Median Filter to remove noise.
- Learning about the three point touch screen calibration method.
- Writing a routine to convert touch screen co-ordinate (ranges from 0-4095 in X and Y direction) to LCD co-ordinates.
- Finally ploting a cross-hair at the touched point.
The final result is shown below.
Then I moved on to implement a GUI 3D Button.
After that I went to try a “Free Hand Drawing” application. And what I made is shown in the video below.

sir i have tried n made ur most of the projects about atmega by learning from ur tutorial. please provide tutorial about this also…..
can we use atmega 32 in place of STM32 MCU?
@Ashwani Lohiya
Yes you can use ATmegs32 only it approx 27 times slower.
Theoretically you can go any place in the world on your foot. But we generally choose a bicycle, car, train or flight depending on the distance.
Hi,
Can you please share the code and tell me what compiler are you using?
Regards,
Andrei
Its Amazing! Your innovation is limitless is it possible to get the details of the project so that I can also feel the excitement of this experiment,

@Uttam Dutta
Currently the hardware is NOT available publically so its hard to build. The MCU is in LQFP100 package (finest leaded SMD). And the LCD Connector are also in FPC form. These experiments are impossible without the fine build hardware.
@Andrei
The compiler is Real View ARM (32KB Demo) under Keil uVision system. Sharing the code has no use as you cannot build the circuit easily.
hello sir, your work is really great…. can you submit some tutorial for ARM programming also.. the codes like Timers, adc,
RTC, spi, i2c etc….
Hi,
This seems interesting, could you share the code? i know your platform is specific, but c code is not specific at all, and i use an stm32 + ad7846, so no problem to test it on my dev. board.
I’m curious to see how you implemented the calibration (computation matrix?) and the median filter.
Kind regards,
Hi, i’m a newbie at ARM, after (just a little) working with sam7 now i want to switch to STM32 and i’m seeking of some good tutorials . . .
could u plz help me to find some? could u plz suggest me some sites or ebooks for STM32 learning?
tnx
Sir, I want the code of finding x-y coordinates of 4 wire resistive touchscreen and display it on lcd. can u tell me code please sir..
hello
please where i find the details about that project ?
