Pitft touchscreen support for raspberry pi

HI I am just a beginner who wants to have touch screen support for the raspberry pi.
Also can you give me a simple way of activating it?
Thanks

Hello George,
Thanks for the reply and your views - interesting.
I notice that the device is ARM11 so does this mean that LV Embeded Module doesn't yet support this? I note you said support is for: ARM7, ARM9, and Cortex-M3
SoC:[6]
Broadcom BCM2835 (CPU, GPU, DSP, and SDRAM)[3]
CPU:
700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core (ARM11 family)[3]
Regards
Andy

  • LV Support for Raspberry Pi?

    Just wondering if NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers supports the new Raspberry Pi board?
    The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer board that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It’s a miniature ARM-based PC which can be used for many of the things that a desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays High-Definition video.
    Further info here and here

  • No Support for Windows 7! Extremely Frustrated! Help!

    Ok, so here's the deal. I have TX1220us tablet pc. It came with Vista 32-bit Home Premium on it. Everybody knows that Vista is a resource hog, and running the 32-bit version on a 2.2 gig 64-bit processor is a complete waste of performance capabilities. So, what's the ideal thing to do? Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate of course! Not so easy... After upgrading, almost nothing works properly on my computer. I did this 8-10 months ago, and immediately noticed the problems. My CD/DVD Lightscribe Drive only functions partially, it only reads some discs and won't burn anything. The fingerprint sensor doesn't function at all. Worst of all, the digitizer (touchscreen) is no longer touch sensitive. The quick launch buttons werent working for a while, but I installed some vista drivers, and luckily was able to get 2 of the 4 to work.
    So what do I do? I talk to HP Support for help. Unfortunately, the only "support" that I could get out of them was in the form of a few sentences. "Unfortunately, HP does not recommend upgrading from the pre-installed operating system. HP does not support anything but the pre-installed operating system" and "This is something that HP is currently developing, and we will update the support page as soon as updates are available for your hardware". The irony of this all is this: At the exact time that HP gave me the first statement, there was an ad with a link from HP on the right margin of my models support page stating "The Wait for Windows 7 is Over! Upgrading your computer has never been easier!".
    Again this was 8-10 months ago that I went through all of this, and now I finally decided to give it another try. You'd think in 10 months that they would be able to develop some sort of updates for customers. Wrong... I once again received the exact same responses with absolutely no sense of concern or care for the happiness of a customer from the support representative. I have finally decided that this is some sort of marketing scheme or sales scam to force their customers to go out and buy a new computer, even though there is no need for it. My laptop is 300x faster on Win7 x64 than it was on Vista, and after paying for an expensive new operating system for a tablet that i purchased only 3 years ago for $1,600 I have no intent on going out and purchasing a new one just so I can run Windows 7.
    Does anybody know who to talk to about getting issues like this resolved or to get compensation for HP's complete lack of care for customer satisfaction? Any info would be nice. Finally, if anybody has come up with a way to get this system working properly on Win 7, I'm open for suggestions. I have tried installing HP Vista drivers on my system, but when I run the setup packages, they exit out saying that the setup programs are designed for windows vista, that it has detected a different operating system, and that the setup will now exit.
    Help!
    tx1220us - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - Nothing but problems

    I think you would be very surprised at how many of your drivers are supported natively by Windows 7. I have an even newer AMD laptop which I installed W7 on and had to install very few  drivers. Running Windows Update manually from Control Panel and choosing to also see 'Optional' updates gave me those.

  • Touchscreen monitors for Windows 8 ?

    I have a hp desktop and monitor and was wondering if HP will be releasing a touchscreen monitor for windows 8. They did a TS monitor afew years ago but discontinued it.
    If windows 8 if designed more for this hands-on approach, i would think all manufacturers would start producing touchscreen monitors. I understand you can buy all-in-ones, but not everyone wants or has one of these.

    Currently, HP and many other manufacturers have touch screen monitors for sale. Support for Windows 8 should be native in many cases or require a driver download when available.

  • Win8 mobile / tablet touchscreen support in javafx 8.0

    Does anyone have any concrete information about touchscreen support in JavaFX 8? We are about to abandon java for HTML5, but I think I can make a case for JavaFX 8 if I can demonstrate that mobile touch gestures can be supported properly.

    Judging by [URL https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22touch%20screen%22]Jira and [URL http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/input/SwipeEvent.html]the javadoc, yes they plan to provide touch screen support.
    They have hinted at support for mobile devices in the future, but I have absolutely no idea when they plan to release that. There isn't going to be a lot of concrete information, since Oracle does not like to make premature announcements.

  • Any word on touch support for Photoshop CC?

    I've been trying to use it on my Surface Pro 2, but only the (tiny) menu buttons work.  Every time I touch the canvas, the image instantly slides off-screen.
    I know improved support for touchscreens has been in the works.  But after recently seeing a Surface Pro 3 commercial where they show someone moving the image around on a touchscreen in Photoshop, I had assumed they finally fixed the issue.  Nope.  I've searched high and low but still haven't found any news about the improved touch support or when it's coming.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?  Thanks for any help!

    Could they have been using one of the Adobe Touch applications?

  • Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

    I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
    I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
    What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
    Best regards,
    Kjell Are Refsvik

    I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
    I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

  • Why no SyncML-support for Harmattan??

    I've used SyncML on my N95 with memotoo.com for years. Worked very well. I took it for granted that SyncML would be supported on the N9. But alas, it isn't. I find that really incomprehensible. Worse yet, CalDAV syncing with memotoo doesn't work - I don't know who's to blame for this, but on the desktop it works flawelessly so I do have a suspicion. Even worse: there is no way to sync contacts using CardDAV.
    MeeGo (the true MeeGo) has SyncML-support out-of-the-box. And the N9/N950 does have SyncML-support for bluetooth.
    Yes, contacts syncing is supported for Ovi. And Google. And Facebook. But I do NOT want to use those services, because of grave privacy risks and because they use yet again some proprietary protocols.
    I wonder, what where they thinking at Nokia for NOT supporting some well-known open standards??
    (While I'm ranting: why is there ^%@$ Facebook and GTalk-support over XMPP, but no self-defined XMPP account?? Yes, you can add such accounts from the terminal, using mc-tool, but really that's just a kick in the teeth. And where's UPnP/DLNA-support?)

    Hey Guys, Did you figure out any way to do PIM sync via SyncML on N9?
    I am struggling to get things moving as I come from N8.
    N9 just doesnt have any way to sync calendar, tasks with Ovi. Same with Notes.

  • ISE 1.2.1 support for Yosemite?

    Hello all, just curious. I see in the release notes for ISE 1.2.X that support for Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) was available via patch 12 on the ISE1.2.0 train of code. That said, I see nothing in the release notes stating any support for Yosemite for any of the patches for ISE1.2.1, the latest being patch 3 released 1 week after ISE 1.2.0 patch 12. Can anyone please advise if Yosemite is in fact supported on 1.2.1 with patch 3??
    Thank you very much in advance for your help
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    OS X 10.10 is supported in ISE 1.2 p11, 1.2.1 p2 and 1.3.
    Patch 12 for 1.2 and Patch 3 for 1.2.1 fix other issues for OS X 10.10, and I recommend updating to the latest patches for these fixes.
    Here is the entry in the Release Notes detailing the fix for 10.10 in 1.2 p 12:
    MacOsXAgent versrion 4.9.5.3 should be used and MacOsXSPWizard 1.0.0.30
    Note that the description for these files denote ISE 1.2 Patch 11/12, ISE 1.3 release and above.  ISE 1.2.1 is not mentioned, but follows the bug fix/release schedule for 1.2, with an adjustment.
    1.2 patch 10 = 1.2.1 patch 1

  • Apple Support for FCE HD - $200 per call???

    i had what was probably a minor issue with editing in final cut express hd today. So naturally, i called applecare. They told me that it had been past the 90 days given to us for support from the point of purchase. Fine. However, the apple support representative went on to tell me that Applecare does NOT support pro applications and that i have to pay $199 per incident? I paid $299 for the product itself! Last i checked, i-pods were selling pretty well and i don't think steve jobs needs that money! Is apple serious? Where do they get off charging $200 for a ONE TIME PHONE CALL? Just because FCE HD is a "pro" application, apple can't assume that everyone who purchases this product is a "pro" from the start!
    Where else am i supposed to get phone technical support for FCE HD??

    These forums are here to give you technical advice. Admittedly it is not over the phone but it is FREE and lasts for ever.
    Also you will have the collective knowledge of numerous people not just the one "expert" you happen to be speaking to.

  • How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

    I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
    I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
    It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
    Thanks so much
