Basic TouchShield Programming

This code package contains three examples of basic TouchShield programming: A classic hello world script demonstrates text rendering, another renders circles on the shield, and a third displays a square. The text renderer also demonstrates TouchShield polling and rendering based on those coordinates. A great batch of introductory code for the TouchShield user.

I’ve uploaded the rest of the TouchShield’s built-in commands are over at the function reference wiki.

So, one thing i dont get about the TouchShield-addon is: Is the whole arduino runnin’ on another “core” or something? Say i wanted to use the arduino to monitor the temperature on 5 one-wire digital sensors and display it on touchshield, then i couldn’t use some stock library for the arduino for the one-wire interface and would have to make one myself?

Mind you, i might be a bit sesoned in avr but is fairly new to arduino ;-)

Martin,

Simply read the sensor value on the Arduino, pass it up to the TouchShield via serial, then display the value however you’d like.
