The Touch Panel feature in Bitmap2LCD

The Touch panel / Touch Screen feature in Bitmap2LCD is to ease the

the graphical definition of the regions and to output the coordinates in the specific resolution and direction (from Origin) given by your touch panel controller.

Here’s the roadmap :

In Touch panel script Mode, the editor’s gutter becomes green

Note that the Touch Panel Script can’t be edited in the editor itself !

The Touch Panel Script is then saved as a .TSC file in the defined Touch panel Folder.

You can reopen an existing Touch Panel Script when clicking on the .TSC file name in the file explorer.
