Touch Screen Funtionality?

[Nathan116]

I was wondering if the 2.2" tft was supposed to be a touchscreen. If not, would it be possible to add touchscreen capabilities to be able to change camera settings on the go? I understand that this is a DIY camera, more of a "proof-of-concept" than anything else, but I just feel like having the ability to change some of the basic camera settings in the camera would be cool.

Hi @Nathan116, you're right, touch support is part of the plan.

We might have to opt for 2.4" tft with touch (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/2-4-tft-spi-touch/s?k=2.4+tft+spi+touch)
And we are also working with the developer of this project for the UI. If you are interested in commit bits, please let me know!

@penk that is exactly what I was looking for! I'm not sure what you mean by commit bits, but I'd be interested in helping to develop the program, though, I'm not too sure how.much if a help I'd be given that I don't have a whole lot of coding experience and have never coded anything in python.

I'd also be interested in testing for you. I haven't build the camera yet, but that's in the plans for the near future, and once I do, I'd be interested in helping to test code and all.
