SOFTWARE

Select and download the .exe generated for your specific EVE2, EVE3 or EVE4 (for EVE4 use EVE3 EXE files) variant to test both the TFT and touch functionality of your display. Windows only.

1. Select EVE2 or EVE3 or EVE4

2. Select your display size:

• 29 - 2.9" 320 x 102 TFT
• 35 - 3.5" 320 x 240 TFT
• 38 - 3.8" 480 x 116 TFT
• 39 - 3.9" 480 x 128 TFT
• 40 - 4.0" 720 x 720 TFT
• 43 - 4.3" 480 x 272 TFT
• 50 - 5.0" 800 x 480 TFT
• 52 - 5.2" 800 x 128 TFT
• 70 - 7.0" 800 x 480 TFT
• 70 - 7.0" 1024 x 600 TFT
• 101 - 10.1" 1280 x 800 TFT

3. Select your touch screen

• TPN - No touch panel
• TPR - Resistive touch panel. Uses FT812/BT816/BT818 Graphics controller
• TPC - Capacitive touch panel. Uses FT813/BT815/BT817 Graphics controller

RUN THE EXE

Please note, if you do not have the USB2SPI module and an EVE2/3/4 display attached, nothing will happen.

If you have a touch screen, TPR or TPC, you will need to calibrate the touch screen by pressing the dots. After the calibration is complete, you will see Matrix Orbital with a blue circle. If you press the circle it will enlarge.

SOURCE CODE

The source code will be configured to work with a EVE2-43A-TPN display by default. Users can configure the code for their specific display variant by opening the MatrixEve2Conf.h file, and modifying the listed definitions appropriately.
