Touch off with Jivelite/Waveshare 5" on piCorePlayer

[piPlayer]

Yes i have done the calibration with ts_calibrate. I run ts_test and it was working fine. Only with jivelite is working strange.
...

With a 3.5" and a 4" Waveshare display I hade similar issues.
The problem was that jivelite started with the wrong input device.
And the solution can be found here: link

best regards
PiPlayer

Hello,
can you explain how to do the ts_calibration and the ts_test?
thanks

For my Waveshare screen:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices -> find right parameters to use below (like fbx, eventy)

sudo TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb1 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0 /usr/local/bin/ts_calibrate
optional: sudo TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb1 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0 /usr/local/bin/ts_test

Find jivelite.sh in the filesystem, copy to
$TCEMNT/tce/jivelite.sh (/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/jivelite.sh in my case)

Add next to other exports (use your own values) in the copied jivelite.sh:
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon
export SDL_FBDEV=/dev/fb0
export SDL_MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/event0
export SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB

Make piCore backup.

Reboot

It's not helping. See at my movies. When I make the calibration touch is accurate but not working in Jivelite.
ts_calibrate and ts_test working ok. They are using some other driver than Jivelite.
I run this: sudo SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon SDL_FBDEV=/dev/fb0 SDL_MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/event0 SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite.sh &
It is shown on my first movie.

How to force to jivelite use same driver and parameter as ts_configure and ts_test?

Xyzzy, there is nothing when I try cat /proc/bus/input/devices.
If I plug my usb mouse, I can see the mouse but there is no touchscreen. May be I missed something in the install process?

Please try to start jivelite directly instead of using the jivelite startup script.
Run this: sudo SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon SDL_FBDEV=/dev/fb0 SDL_MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/event0 SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite &

It doesn't change anything. It still the same problem. It's like on first movie again. Cursor is back to that left upper corner when i lift my finger, and there is no action.

Ok, here's another try:

sudo SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon SDL_FBDEV=/dev/fb0 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0 SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite

Hi,
I´m just trying to calibrate the screen (not the touch function) of my Waveshare 5".
All provides skins of the piCorePlayer have a bar on the right side and I just can´t figure out how to calibrate the screen.



Apparently one needs the ts_calibrate tools - but I just can´t install those tools.
THX for your help - I hope I´m in the right section,
Greetings
