Introduction
CircuitPython driver for the FT5336 touch controller
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ft5336
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ft5336
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ft5336
Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
Make sure that you have circup
installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:
pip3 install circup
With circup
installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:
circup install adafruit_ft5336
Or the following command to update an existing version:
circup update
Usage Example
import time
import board
import adafruit_ft5336
i2c = board.I2C()
touch = adafruit_ft5336.Adafruit_FT5336(i2c)
while True:
t = touch.points
print(t)
time.sleep(0.1)
