2. Software

2.1 The library's needed for this project must be unzipped and copied in to folder YourAntiPasto\hardware\arduino\cores\touchshield\src\components\libraries\

The archive contains also the EEPROM library (this is needed to store the remote parameters in to TouchShield Slide 4096 bytes of EEPROM). To a better understanding read

the "Problem with EEPROM on arduino Slide guide" post on Arduino forum. You can follow the steps from that post or you can download an unzip the modified file in to

YourAntiPasto\hardware\tools\avr\avr\include\avr\ folder.

WARNING: Do notwrite anything into TouchShield Slide EEPROM from index 0 to 28. 0-27 are used to store screen calibration data and 28 (value 20)

is used to store a check for the same data.

2.2 Another bug in the AntiPasto IDE is the limit of 33 (in some cases 32) images that can be uploaded on the TouchShield Slide. The solution for this bug I've founded on

OpenMoCo.org. You can download the TouchShield OpenMoco UI code from their site (extract the files from openmoco-trunk.tar.gz\trunk\touchSlide in to

YourAntiPasto\hardware\arduino\cores\touchshield\src\components\board\ or you can download and unzip the files used by me in the same folder - modified fonts included).

2.3 Download NewSoftSerial library from Arduiniana an copy it to YourAntiPasto\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino\src\components\libraries\.

2.4 Download GVI Remote Touch - the sketch to upload in to Arduino Duemilanove (upload this sketch first and don't forget to press the programming button on the Slide).

2.5 Download GVI Remote Arduino - the sketch to upload in to Arduino Duemilanove (second sketch to upload).

3. Connections

The following pins are used on Arduino board

The Battery indicator is not yet implemented because at this moment i have no info about TouchShield Slide interrupts,

so if anyone can share some light on this problem is more than welcomed.

Also please post your suggestions or bug reports.

Thank you.

  Hi there! I have been working with the touchslide to develop a thermostat
  control and I have issues getting bi-directional communication working with my
  temp/humidity sensors and the touch screen. Would you be willing to supply me
  with the source code for your"Remote control for DSLR Camera with Touch
  Shield Slide" on you tube? I would be pay for the code, I think you have the
  best example of the menu systems etc. that I am looking for. Your help would be
  greatly appreciated.
  
  Kind Regards,
  
  Kyle

  Sure,
  I will help you as much as i can.
  Just e-mail me at gvi70000@gmail.com and i will send you the last version of
  the code and also we can talk about your problems.
  
  PS: You can download the code and the modified TSS core from the links above.

  Excelent! foarte interesant proiectul si plin de feature-uri. Sunt curios cati
  mW consuma shieldul impreuna cu Arduino.

  Nu stiu cat consuma shield-ul, nu scrie nimic in specificatiile lui, dar banui
  ca totul consuma in jur de 300mA/h
