    Gen4-IoD-28T. Buttonx. freeze. when type too fast.

    Hello dear 4D Systems team and 4D Users!

    I getting started with IoD modules and i have an issue(and another but that fits another topic.).
    I declared six buttons and a textwindow. When i touch the buttons on the screen one after another (or one button) too fast, the whole modul get freeze.
    I use arduino 1.8.3 and version 2.4.0 of esp lbrary. I trierd to use different type of technics to make it and all of them get the same result. I tried to add some delay but no luck.
    Is there anybody who faced with this issue? Or somebody who can help me where/what i wrote badly?
    Thank You!
    Robert


    Here is the code that i made:

    #include "ESP8266WiFi.h"
    #include "GFX4d.h"
    uint8_t buttw;
    int but;
    int lastbut;
    GFX4d gfx = GFX4d();

    void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    gfx.begin();
    gfx.Cls();
    gfx.ScrollEnable(true);
    gfx.BacklightOn(true);
    gfx.Orientation(LANDSCAPE_R);
    gfx.SmoothScrollSpeed(5);
    gfx.touch_Set(TOUCH_ENABLE);
    gfx.TextColor(WHITE); gfx.Font(2); gfx.TextSize(1);
    gfx.TextWindow(0,0, 320,100, BLACK, SILVER, DARKGRAY);
    gfx.Buttonx(33, 10, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "1", 1, BLACK);
    gfx.Buttonx(34, 60, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "2", 1, BLACK);
    gfx.Buttonx(35, 110, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "3", 1, BLACK);
    gfx.Buttonx(36, 160, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "4", 1, BLACK);
    gfx.Buttonx(37, 210, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "5", 1, BLACK);
    gfx.Buttonx(38, 260, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "6", 1, BLACK);
    }

    void loop() {

    //1st version
    //buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
    // if(buttw != lastbut && buttw > 0){
    // but = buttw;
    // switch(but){
    // case 33:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("1");break;
    // case 34:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("2");break;
    // case 35:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("3");break;
    // case 36:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("4");break;
    // case 37:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("5");break;
    // case 38:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("6");break;
    // }
    // }else{but = 0;}
    // lastbut = buttw;

    //2nd version
    //buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
    // if(buttw != lastbut && buttw > 0&&buttw<255){Serial.println(buttw);delayMicroseconds(14000);//delay(14);
    // but = buttw;gfx.TWcls();
    // if(but == 33){
    // gfx.TWprintln("1");
    // }
    // if(but == 34){
    // gfx.TWprintln("2");
    // }
    // if(but == 35){
    // gfx.TWprintln("3");
    // }
    // if(but == 36){
    // gfx.TWprintln("4");
    // }
    // if(but == 37){
    // gfx.TWprintln("5");
    // }
    // if(but == 38){
    // gfx.TWprintln("6");
    // }
    // } else {
    // but = 0;delayMicroseconds(14000);//delay(14);
    // }
    // lastbut = buttw;

    //3rd version
    buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
    switch(buttw){
    case 33:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("1");break;
    case 34:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("2");break;
    case 35:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("3");break;
    case 36:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("4");break;
    case 37:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("5");break;
    case 38:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("6");break;
    }


    yield();

    Hello,

    Welcome to the forum,

    I have seen problems with buttonx when it is being over-read. The demo in the examples section of the GFX4d, called 4Dos, has a on screen keyboard and it was necessary to include a delay of 2 millis. The keyboard in 4Dos can be quickly swiped without crashing.

    I will have a look into it as an update to GFX4d will be released within the next few days.

    Many thanks for pointing this out to us.

    Best regards

    Paul

      Just noticed that your first attempt does have a delay. I will test your code to see if I get the same result

      Best regards

        Hi,

        Without the TWCls() it works fine. I will find out what is causing this and make sure it is fixed in the next release.

        Code:
        #include "ESP8266WiFi.h"
#include "GFX4d.h"
uint8_t buttw;
int but;
int lastbut;
GFX4d gfx = GFX4d();

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
gfx.begin();
gfx.Cls();
gfx.ScrollEnable(true);
gfx.BacklightOn(true);
gfx.Orientation(LANDSCAPE_R);
gfx.SmoothScrollSpeed(5);
gfx.touch_Set(TOUCH_ENABLE);
gfx.TextColor(WHITE); gfx.Font(2); gfx.TextSize(1);
gfx.TextWindow(0,0, 320,100, BLACK, SILVER, DARKGRAY);
gfx.Buttonx(33, 10, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "1", 1, BLACK);
gfx.Buttonx(34, 60, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "2", 1, BLACK);
gfx.Buttonx(35, 110, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "3", 1, BLACK);
gfx.Buttonx(36, 160, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "4", 1, BLACK);
gfx.Buttonx(37, 210, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "5", 1, BLACK);
gfx.Buttonx(38, 260, 150, 40, 40, SILVER, "6", 1, BLACK);
}

void loop() {

//1st version
//buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
// if(buttw != lastbut && buttw > 0){
// but = buttw;
// switch(but){
// case 33:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("1");break;
// case 34:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("2");break;
// case 35:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("3");break;
// case 36:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("4");break;
// case 37:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("5");break;
// case 38:gfx.TWcls();gfx.TWprintln("6");break;
// }
// }else{but = 0;}
// lastbut = buttw;

//2nd version
//buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
// if(buttw != lastbut && buttw > 0&&buttw<255){Serial.println(buttw);delayMicroseconds(14000);//delay(14);
// but = buttw;gfx.TWcls();
// if(but == 33){
// gfx.TWprintln("1");
// }
// if(but == 34){
// gfx.TWprintln("2");
// }
// if(but == 35){
// gfx.TWprintln("3");
// }
// if(but == 36){
// gfx.TWprintln("4");
// }
// if(but == 37){
// gfx.TWprintln("5");
// }
// if(but == 38){
// gfx.TWprintln("6");
// }
// } else {
// but = 0;delayMicroseconds(14000);//delay(14);
// }
// lastbut = buttw;

//3rd version
buttw = gfx.CheckButtons();
switch(buttw){
case 33:gfx.TWprintln("1");break;
case 34:gfx.TWprintln("2");break;
case 35:gfx.TWprintln("3");break;
case 36:gfx.TWprintln("4");break;
case 37:gfx.TWprintln("5");break;
case 38:gfx.TWprintln("6");break;
}
delay(5);

yield();
}

          Hello Paul!

          Thank You for your quick response!
          And also Thanks for the point. I got the same that You without gfx.TWcls();, after I eliminate it, freezing goes away. So now it works fine, without freezing.

          [(For Everybody! I just notice, the nex are not a good way.) Also, for get the same working of the program in the library I took public the twcurx and twcury variables and gives them a value before call gfx.TWprint() (I change gfx.TWprintln to gfx.TWprint) and it works almost the same like the original whitout freezing.]

          Maybe a TWmoveTo routine would be a good option for the TextWindow function.
