Re: Hi guys, does any of you have experience with touchscreen controllers?

Hi Dale, 
maybe I need to be more clear about my condition.
1) I connected the ads7843 to general I/O ports because the SPIs available on 
sh2a7203 have been be used for other functions;
2) My real problem is the following: I wrote an ADS7843 device driver as a 
button driver of the input subsystem. I configured the ads7843 with INT 
enabled; so when the touch is pressed I have a burst of IRQ. The IRQ handler 
read the ads7843 and return to the input subsystem the abs values of the 
touchscreen.
The user program open the file /dev/input/event0 and with the select waits for 
data; what I see is: during all the time I have a finger on the touch only IRQ 
handler is exeuted and no action is done in the user program. I tried also 
opening /dev/input/event0 with O_NONBLOCK flag but nothing changes.

Did you use the ads7843 with INT enabled or not?
And if yes, using the falling edge or the low level?

Thanks
