But Wifi cradles cost quite much, don't they?

Please make all sure you are using YAGARTO's 23.12.2010 release (GCC v4.5.2). It seems there have been incompatible ABI changes of object files or libraries between the previous one and this one.

New beta (r382) fully compatible with the Touchpad area! Many thanks to Goplat and shrear for their help.
Programs should be rebuilt with this version to migrate their isKeyPressed() calls.

Changelog:
- isKeyPressed() compatible with Touchpad
- New Touchpad API
- New macros swap16 and swap32
- Fix KEY_NSPIRE_EQU (thanks compu)
- Add KEY_NSPIRE_FRAC (thanks shrear)
- Fix wrong restoration of the FIQ handler by the installer (thanks Goplat)
- Fix broken va_list and va_arg with char parameters (thanks Goplat and compu)

shrear, I have just updated libndls to use the "pressed" field returned by the touchpad controller (and the velocity fields are now also available with touchpad_scan()).
So isKeyPressed() should now react as expected, could you please confirm?

A discussion about this was started here a while ago. I could indeed include hot keypad detection if anyone provides more info on it.

You're right, I didn't see it.

touchpad_scan() let use should the proximity threshold adapted to the program. But the threshold displayed is currently used for isKeyPressed() (ie for clickpad/touchpad programs). Should I keep it as it is? Else how can we find this "pressed" limit?

Thank you for these details.
I have added a proximity bar at the top of the screen in ndless_tpad.tns. The vertical line shows the limit above which a "click" is reported by isKeyPressed().

Is the proximity correctly reported? Is the "touched"/"clicked" limit good for you? (it is the one defined by the Touchpad controller)

Calculator C / Re: Tutorial - Setting up C Development Environment for the TI-Nspire

Did you try samples/hello.tns? Does it crash?

puts() writes to the serial output, you won't see anything on real hardware unless you've built an adapter. But run from nspire_emu the text will be displayed on the DOS console.
There is currently no standard function to display text on the screen but several programs already integrate custom functions for this.

Unfortunately the authors have to update them, you should ask them directly.

some1specia1: OK so it's still there. I'll try other fixes and let you test them if you can.

shrear: 1) thanks, I couldn't test this one.

My proposal is that isKeyPressed() tests for press and a other separate function tests for touch and returns the cords. ( I think that's what touchpad_scan() does but I'm not yet so far in the code)

Yes, that is the idea.
I'm not sure if "pressed" means report->contact = TRUE, or if it corresponds to a special threshold of report->proximity, so I don't know how to update ndless_tpad.tns to test it. For you would the sensibility of ndless_tpad.tns be a touched Touchpad or a pressed Touchpad?

calc84maniac: sorry, yes its 9.
Which button do you mean? (I have never seen a real Touchpad)

shrear, Lionel: you're right, I should have "make clean all". It's fixed.

This reminds me of Street Fighter when it was released for TI-89 when I was at school.

Touchpad scan has been added with the help of Goplat. Since I don't own a TI-Nspire Touchpad and could only rely on emulated tests, I am really interested by any feedback from Touchpad users. For this you need to:

  • Update your Ndless SVN working directory and rebuild everything
  • Rebuild your program or game with this version to check that isKeyPressed([arrow]) works well and there are no regressions. Don't forget to use the new version of Ndless on the calc.
  • Check how isKeyPressed(KEY_NSPIRE_CLICK) reacts since I cannot test it on nspire_emu
  • Run tests/ndless_tpad.tns adapted from Goplat's sample, that shows low-level scan
  • Use the Touchpad API in your own program! The gaming experience could really be enhanced.

Here is a description of the current implementation, that may be adapted if it doesn't behave well on real hardware:
The area is divided in 9 rectangles (left, upper-left, up, upper-right and so one) of identical width and height. Touching the rectangle in the middle make it click. I'm not sure if I should use a non-default proximity sensitivity for this one to be consistent with the OS behavior. I have never used a Touchpad so please tell me how it feels.

Hehe, you're going to make one ExtendeD happy. ;)
He wants to make a small console for the Nspire and include it (??) with ndless. This could be that prgm. :D
I have unfortunately already started working on it.
