TOUCH

This is the M5Stack Core2 touchscreen library. You can use the APIs in this library to obtain touch interaction information and listen for touch and gesture events, specifying corresponding handlers. The actual size of the touchscreen is 320x280, with the remaining 40px height covering the area with red circles on the panel. Users can simulate physical buttons through programming.

TouchButton Class

Constructor:

TouchButton(uint16_t x_, uint16_t y_, uint16_t w_, uint16_t h_, const char* name_ = "")

Description:

Creates an instance of a rectangular button area.

Get State:

• Set button state

• bool setState(bool)

• Check if the button is pressed

• bool isPressed()

• Check if the button is released

• bool isReleased()

• Check if the button was pressed once

• bool wasPressed()

• Check if the button was released once

• bool wasReleased()

• Check if the button was pressed for a specified duration

• bool pressedFor(uint32_t ms)

• Check if the button was pressed for a specified duration and continuous time

• bool pressedFor(uint32_t ms, uint32_t continuous_time)

• Check if the button was released for a specified duration

• bool releasedFor(uint32_t ms)

• Check if the button was released for a specified duration

• bool wasReleasefor(uint32_t ms)

Get Properties:

• int32_t lastChange()
• uint8_t finger;
• bool changed;
• char name[16];

Event Listening:

• Add touch event handling for the button, specifying the type of event to trigger

• void addHandler(void (*fn)(TouchEvent&), uint16_t eventMask = TE_ALL)

• Event Types

Example:

#include <M5Core2.h>

Button lt(0, 0, 160, 120, "left-top");
Button lb(0, 120, 160, 120, "left-bottom");
Button rt(160, 0, 160, 120, "right-top");
Button rb(160, 120, 160, 120, "right-bottom");

void colorButtons(Event& e) {
  Button& b = *e.button;
  M5.Lcd.fillRect(b.x, b.y, b.w, b.h, b.isPressed() ? WHITE : BLACK);
}

void dblTapped(Event& e) {
  Serial.println("--- TOP RIGHT BUTTON WAS DOUBLETAPPED ---");
}

void setup() {
  M5.begin();
  M5.Buttons.addHandler(colorButtons,  E_TOUCH + E_RELEASE);
  rt.addHandler(dblTapped, E_DBLTAP);
}

void loop() {
  M5.update();
}

Gesture Class

Constructor:

Gesture(TouchZone fromZone_, TouchZone toZone_, const char* name_ = "", uint16_t maxTime_ = GESTURE_MAXTIME, uint16_t minDistance_ = GESTURE_MINDIST)

Description:

Creates an instance of a touch gesture object.

Example:

#include <M5Core2.h>

TouchZone topHalf(0,0,320,120);
TouchZone bottomHalf(0,120,320,160);
Gesture swipeDown(topHalf, bottomHalf, "Swipe Down");

void yayWeSwiped(TouchEvent& e) {
  Serial.println("--- SWIPE DOWN DETECTED ---");
}

void setup() {
  M5.begin();
  swipeDown.addHandler(yayWeSwiped);
}

void loop() {
  M5.update();
}

TouchEvent Structure

struct TouchEvent {
    uint8_t finger;  // Finger number, supports up to two points
    uint16_t type;  // Event type
    TouchPoint from;  // Initial touch point coordinates --> x, y
    TouchPoint to;   // End touch point coordinates --> x, y
    uint16_t duration; // Event duration
    TouchButton* button; // Event trigger object
    Gesture* gesture; // Event trigger gesture
};

Example:

#include <M5Core2.h>

TouchButton lt = TouchButton(0, 0, 160, 120, "left-top");
TouchButton lb = TouchButton(0, 120, 160, 120, "left-bottom");
TouchButton rt = TouchButton(160, 0, 160, 120, "right-top");
TouchButton rb = TouchButton(160, 120, 160, 120, "right-bottom");

void eventDisplay(TouchEvent& e) {
  Serial.printf("%-12s finger%d  %-18s (%3d, %3d)", M5.Touch.eventTypeName(e), e.finger, M5.Touch.eventObjName(e),  e.from.x, e.from.y);
  if (e.type != TE_TOUCH && e.type != TE_TAP && e.type != TE_DBLTAP) {
    Serial.printf("--> (%3d, %3d)  %5d ms", e.to.x, e.to.y, e.duration);
  }
  Serial.println();
