Cheap Yellow Display (CYD)

Ray Leiter asked 1 year ago

I just recently started to explore the CYD.
I’ve been using the sample program provided to do the exploring.
I came across the map functions and initially wondered what they are doing.
Then I realized the pins used to get the touch coordinates must be Analog Input which would account for why a mapping function is necessary.
But then I wondered where the “magic” numbers came from (min/max x and min/max y) (200, 3700) (240, 3800).
Were they experimentally determined or taken directly from a technical specification document?
The CYD is a very interesting gadget. The display is rather complicated though.
I’ve been trying the examples in the Arduino IDE that came with the library installs.
Some work, some don’t.
Thanks,
Ray

Hello Ray,

That’s just something that I experimented with and found the ratio… I don’t remember reading it anywhere else.

Regards,

Rui
