If anyone interested in 3m sc400 4wire resistive touch controller, I have attached the code I used to read touch controller.

    Cool - can you show code/pictures/schematics of how you used and implemented it?

    I used the 3m sc400 touch controller and 4wire resistive touch pad from Digikey. search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=3M5542-ND

    Both the touch pad and the controller cost was around US$80. Only used controller pin 2 Tx and 3 Rx and connected these two pin to Propeller. Use touchpad.spin and touch_test.spin. touch_test.spin will display the X and Y coordinate of the touch point on the TV. The values generally between 1K to 16K.

    This controller does not need any extra command to initiate or terminate the data transfer. As long as the touch pad detects touches, controller will continues to send 5 byte data packet to Propeller. Sc400 data sheet has all the command you can sent to the controller, But I have not use those in my codes. I have attached both files again.

    This is my first Propeller project. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
