FT3x68 Touch Controller Driver Crate

A driver for the FT3x68 touch controller(s), providing functionality to read touch points, gestures, and manage power modes.

Note: There is limited public information available for FocalTech FT touch controllers. Much of the operational detail is not documented in datasheets.
This driver is largely based on the Arduino_DriveBus repository.

This driver is embedded-hal compatible and provides a generic interface for implementing the device reset functionality.
The reset pin can be controlled by custom interface such as a GPIO port or an I2C I/O expander.

Some drivers include an INT pin to indicate touch events, but this driver does not use it.
If interrupts are needed, users can connect the pin to an interrupt-capable input and implement their own callback.

Currently, this driver supports both the FT3168 and FT3268 devices.

Usage

1. Implement the ResetInterface trait for your specific reset mechanism.
2. Create an instance of Ft3x68Driver.
3. Initialize the touch driver.
4. Use the provided methods to read touch points and/or gestures.

// Initialize GPIO Reset Pin or I2C-controlled Reset Pin
// ResetDriver is a type that implements the `ResetInterface` trait.
let reset = ResetDriver::new(PinInstance);

let mut touch = Ft3x68Driver::new(
    I2CInstance,
    FT3168_DEVICE_ADDRESS,
    reset,
    delay,
);

touch
    .initialize()
    .expect("Failed to initialize touch driver");

loop {
    touch
        .touch1()
        .map(|touch| println!("Touch 1: {:?}", touch))
        .unwrap();
}

Running the Example

To run the example demonstrating touch support:

cargo run --release --example touch --all-features

Notes:

• To detect gestures, the gesture mode must be first enabled using the set_gesture_mode method.
• If the reset pin is controlled via an I2C GPIO expander sharing the same bus with the touch driver, you should use the embedded_hal_bus to manage multiple instances of I2C. Refer to the examples folder to see how that looks like.
