Paneldue as Pendant behavior - opposite mirrored areas activate

sinned6915

I am trying to use the Diabase H-Pendant Paneldue firmware.
https://github.com/diabase/H-Series-Pendant-Firmware

The wierd thing is that in pendant mode, the opposite side of the screen, and mirrored position seems be what is activated for me. Here is what I mean by it-

The basis of my comparison is @jay_s_uk s_uk implementation of the SAME firmware file. Here are comparison vid's of his unit and mine-

We are both using an encoder- his a 60mm / 100ppr CNC style one, me a 20ppr LCD menue type one.

I can not imagine the encoder signal throwing off the Paneldue display, can it?

What else might cause my touch screen to be flipped AND mirrored?

sinned6915

@sinned6915 I changed the encoder to match and have tried switching/flip-flopping the A&B inuts.
I still get the same behavior.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Does it work correctly in normal landscape mode with regular firmware?

@phaedrux
YES!

At the end of my video, I switch it by the 'Panel' button and go into regular landscape mode and everything works like it should.

That is what is so confusing.

@sinned6915 if noone from diabase reads here, you will likely need to file an issue in their github https://github.com/diabase/H-Series-Pendant-Firmware

sinned6915

@oliof yes, that is probly best.
I wanted to try and make sure it was not operator error first.
thanks again

sinned6915

The reason I am trying to make use of this is that I am trying to avoid making the PanelDue pass-through version of the pendant.

@sinned6915 I'd want to use it as well if I were in need of a pendant. In fact I gave it a try last year but the soldering job on my encoder knob was so bad that I built back before I printed a case and returned to stock PanelDue firmware. But not for lack of want (-:

sinned6915

@phaedrux here are some better videos of the behavior-

PanelDue with the firmware loaded. Ignore the portait/landscape difference at the start-I have it that way so you can see the lanscape mode of the normal Panel functoin. I am trying to use a stylus to push buttons so you can see the highlighed presses, and my hand movements are making the focus jumpy.

Normal hardware and normal firmware are working correctly. Beyond that I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. The Diabase github would be my next step if I were you.

@sinned6915 did you re-run touch calibration after switching to pendant mode?

sinned6915

@dc42 yes, i believe I have. I will redo and double check and report back.

EDIT: After upload of the FW, the PanelDue is calibration mode to touch the 4 spots.
After calibration it is in Pendant mode, and after switching to Panel mode, rerunning the calibration does not seem to make any difference.

Once I have gotten into a jog selection, say X at 1.0mm, the encoder works beautifully.

I have tried this on both a PanelDue 7.0 with V3 controller AND on a PanelDue 7i, both behave the same.

Is there anything in the config.g settings that might throw this off? I looked at the H5 firmware files, but did not see anything obvious.

I agree that the next step would be to create an issue ticket on Diabase github.

I have tried delving into the source code, but I am having a hard time telling what is OE code and what is user contributed code. My conclusions are that looking at the code are above my skills at this time.

@sinned6915 in the original PanelDue firmware code, there is a parameter of type DisplayOrientation to the constructor that determines the polarity of the touch response. There is also a function AdjustOrientation that can change it. AFAIR the touch calibration procedure calls AdjustOrientation.

sinned6915

@dc42 any suggestions on what to look for?

their firmware is supposed to work for 5i and 7i.
could something be 'wrapping' to behave like this?

dc42

@sinned6915 I don't know why you are having this problem and Diabase isn't. However, I think a solution would be to make this function call when switching between portrait and landscape:

touch.adjustOrientation(ReverseX | ReverseY);

sinned6915

@dc42 where should I be looking for this function call?

I am looking at lines 815 - 837 of PanelDue.cpp -


void LandscapeDisplay(const bool withTouch)
{
	lcd.fillScr(black);
	lcd.setOrientation(nvData.lcdOrientation, IS_ER, true);
	if (withTouch)
	{
		touch.init(DisplayX, DisplayY, nvData.touchOrientation);
		touch.calibrate(nvData.xmin, nvData.xmax, nvData.ymin, nvData.ymax, touchCalibMargin);
	}
}

void PortraitDisplay(const bool withTouch)
{
	DisplayOrientation portrait = static_cast<DisplayOrientation>(nvData.lcdOrientation ^ (SwapXY | ReverseX));
	lcd.fillScr(black);
	lcd.setOrientation(portrait, IS_ER, true);
	if (withTouch)
	{
		DisplayOrientation portraitTouch = static_cast<DisplayOrientation>(nvData.touchOrientation ^ (SwapXY | ReverseX));
		touch.init(DisplayXP, DisplayYP, portraitTouch);
		touch.calibrate(nvData.ymin, nvData.ymax, nvData.xmin, nvData.xmax, touchCalibMargin);
	}
}

the references to (SwapXY | ReverseX) are throwing me off.

@sinned6915 said in Paneldue as Pendant behavior - opposite mirrored areas activate:

DisplayOrientation portraitTouch = static_cast<DisplayOrientation>(nvData.touchOrientation ^ (SwapXY | ReverseX));

Since X and Y need to be reversed compared to what happens now, I suggest you change ReverseX in that line to ReverseY.

@dc42 that seems to have done it!
at least it compiled and now runs.
i need to reassemble it all and make all the connections to fully test.
i will report back.

@sinned6915
Hello, I have the same issue on PanelDue7.0/V3 controller.
I can't recompile the firmware with the modified PanelDue.cpp file because I don't have the skills. Would it be possible to share the one you use? Thanks in advance
