DigiPos 15" touch screen, how to get this up and running in LCNC

Did you do this first?

Sorry, I should have read the other thread. might need to be

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inputattach

Done that.

There must be something wrong with the syntax as shown in my last picture.
So how is the line to be written?


sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator = will get you nowhere as that package is not to be found.

Try my revised suggestion in my last post. I can't help further.

Done that Rod and get nowhere. TouchScreen is a can of worms especially old RS232 ones.

No big deal if I do not get touch to work but it would be nice as I am used to it. Did work OK in Win/Mach3.

I haven't followed this thread very closely. Can you make this touch on this monitor work with Windows? If you can maybe you can use the driver there to help identify what sort of driver you should be using in Linux. But just identifying the driver for LInux is only half the battle. You still have to figure out how to install and configure it. The brief experience I have had with touchscreens in Linux has shown this is often not very straight forward or well documented. Both times I set up touch screens in Linux it took me about a week of googling and fiddling just to get them to work (and that was with knowing the monitor's model)

Todd, I have to see if I still have the disk with W2K install with Mach, if not I am like a fish on dry land. its 8-10 years ago this setup was live.

As I wrote - a can of worms it is with touch. If memory serves me well I do remember struggling to get it working.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inputattach

sudo inputattach -elo /dev/ttyS0

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
# same entries as formerly in ubuntu 10.04 e.g.
#
/usr/bin/inputattach --daemon --always -elo /dev/ttyS0
exit 0

boot starter program " EloTouchSet "
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Command: " xinput set-int-prop "Elo Serial TouchScreen" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 4081 23 37 4089 "

sudo shutdown -r now
ELO TOUCH works perfect

Did try the link you sent earlier
>>>>>> here it stops so the syntax must be wrong = xinput........

I'm inclined not to use touch due to the size of the screen because I can not mount it at the same location as the small 12 "screen




As you can see it is much bigger and would be fixed at that place as i n picture, still possible to lean over to reach the touch.
Will try....
