Thats what Im trying to say with pikey. Its not just a keyboard app. There is some custom ability there. Programing in new touch functions will have to be reflashed. We pre-program the avr to handle certain touch inputs any where on the screen. basic shapes, taps , slides. Have you unpacked the pikey package yet? the psp side is pretty much done. Im still going over the package but it looks like almost everything is there. check out this header line.....

Oh guys...

Sound processing: no way to do this on avr, if u want a mic, plug it into the mic port...
Touch gestures: sure, but not on avr

why do you want to do everything on the avr? this is a MICROCONTROLLER, you can be glad if it makes touchscreen + analogstick input at once...
whatever you want to do with gestures, do it on the PSP

oh, the plugin is simple? lol?
you just have no idea
I'm still in, just still busy with my own project, this is gonna take some more weeks I think, but I have to take a 10 days break or something anytime soon bc when I ordered the PCB I can't do anything else anymore
cheap touchscreen, anyone?

I was just bringing up the idea of the voice stuff. I did some investigating and that can all be done within the psp. Someones already working on that.
As far as how easy the plugin is, I meant simple as in the code got simpler. Tokyo did you read what I was talking about with hooking the touch zones to icon locations? That would make the xmb stuff much simpler to write. Would it not? If the avr is not going to handle touch mapping, what is it going to do? just input x,y positions? What information can it put out? I thought the uart could handle hex? example : the media icons hooked to touch zones. When the icon/touch zone is touched for play could the avr/uart communicate the play communication? I thought that hex would have to be used for the comunication between the psp and the avr/uart? Back to hooking icons. Can this also be done with the qwerty? this pikey plugin looks promising did you look at what it does and how it works? If you get some time please check out pikey 0.3 . It says its got a built in lib of keyboards. why cant we just add our device info to the lib?

>That would make the xmb stuff much simpler to write. Would it not?
actually not

>what is it going to do? just input x,y positions?
exactly

>I thought the uart could handle hex?
??

>this pikey plugin looks promising did you look at what it does and how it works?
yes

>why cant we just add our device info to the lib?
probably because it's not a keyboard

">why cant we just add our device info to the lib?

- We will be using it as one tho. Why not start out like that. the keyboard has all of the functions we need. Can't we just program it as a keyboard? then include it in the lib?
I dont know its why Im asking.
As far as I can tell the keyboard includes controls for every part of the psp. VSH,GAME,etc it even has analog and user preset buttons. And not to mention it gives us on screen keyboard.

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #185 on:** January 30, 2011, 07:04:57 AM »

that's just not the way you should do this.
it makes things way harder
use the touchscreen as a touchscreen and include (programm) a touchscreen driver to the pikey framework.

touchsreen >AVR>plugin(handles gestures and zones all more complex stuff)>any thing we want it to interface with(possibly including pikey)

1TONpete · « **Reply #187 on:** January 30, 2011, 07:13:23 PM »

That makes sense. So I downgraded one fat and one slim today. I landed on 5.00m33-6 . The fat was on 1.5 but I put it on 5.00m33-6. So out came all my home brew stuff. I played Wolfenstein 3d today , had the music plugin installed with some "Life of Agony" and "White Zombie" going in the background. It was a blast. Well I bring this up because I tried out some apps. I got mixed results , but I did get most of them to work on both the fat and the slim. 1st app to test was trueflow perfect for touch music interface. 2nd was truphoto another touch like interface for photos. 3rd was paint. then a few plugins . One in particular was xmbel but i couldnt get either psp to recognize in recovery to get working. THis one supposedly lets you replace your own apps for icons in xmb. so tried to put the photo app where the photos where and the music app etc. but I couldn't even get it to come up in plugins in recovery. Just more food for thought.

will somebody please help with coding that way we can finish this!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

TokyoDrift · « **Reply #189 on:** February 08, 2011, 08:40:55 AM »

still busy with my own project, gonna finish the schematics and board layout, then, when I got the part I'll validate everything and then have the pcb etched
=> gonna take some more time
you guys should first try making the psp plugin though, and provide a protocol, I doubt that's gonna work out anyways...

galaxy3arth · « **Reply #190 on:** February 08, 2011, 09:52:00 AM »

I will look into the other parts ,but I hadnt been involved in the plugin up til now I think we wil start fresh with plugin and just make it using the concepts of the neo flash motion plugin. I repeat a from scratch plugin. make it work first then we can add the extra stuff.
by making it work I just mean simple slide motions.

The fat was on 1.5

If that was in good condition probably could have fetched a good price... not anymore though

1TONpete · « **Reply #192 on:** February 09, 2011, 08:55:15 PM »

It was not original 1.5 but i can go back any time.

galaxy3arth · « **Reply #193 on:** February 11, 2011, 10:05:05 AM »

when writing the plugin to use a protocol
I can just use a similar one to the standard remote protocol as well right?

thanks alot I decided not the use the peice didnt really give too much information on it but it did lead me to find this.

theres one already meant for rs232 communication db9
just connect it to sio plug

Hey I've been away for a while. I finally got a ps3! So any news? Anyone care anymore? This was a great project , I would love to see some programmer get involved.

DuctTapedGoat · « **Reply #197 on:** March 19, 2011, 06:06:10 PM »

With the PSP2 on the horizon, isn't it too late/too early for this mod?

I dunno, I'm not getting my feet wet in this one until I gut first model PSP2.

1TONpete · « **Reply #198 on:** March 20, 2011, 06:01:09 AM »

I think everyone who is waiting on "NGP" is going to have to wait a lil longer. I think there is still a lot of people who would like to see this come into action for the consoles they all ready have.

DuctTapedGoat · « **Reply #199 on:** March 20, 2011, 12:45:12 PM »

But - why not codebreak the PSP2 and use what we need to mimic it on the PSP?

I've got a 12 inch Wacom Digitizer Unit I'll give to the person who's got the most drive to do something with it.

I don't have the front bezel off the LCD, just the ribbon cable from it, and of course the rear unit, but just for the Wacom PCB should be enough to get somebody toying with the concepts. PCB is about 2"x3".

hope this project picks back up
what ever happened to tokyodrift I thought he was in on this mod.

1TONpete · « **Reply #201 on:** April 25, 2011, 11:16:45 AM »

I would love to get back at it, we need someone to code this thing, and I don't think tokyo is up for it.

galaxy3arth · « **Reply #202 on:** April 28, 2011, 08:22:39 AM »

yeah I think your right we should both start searching different forums and places for a programmer

Hello and wow love this forum!

. I came across this when i was trying to find REAL information about building a touch psp. Im trying to build one mostly for browser and emulated Windows os (to kinda make mini tablet that games realy good to) i came across this item and it may solve programming and setup issues??? (Noob so no idea but looks like could be helpfull??) http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2157554_-1
Please take look and lets see if we can get this idea up and running again. I know vita is out but y not make something close for about 70.00 not spending over 200 on something we dont know if we can even hack yet? Thanks for all the great info up to this point! Love this site!

the vita is already getting hacked ....slow but its on its way just a matter of time before its fully opened up like the original psp's
will be getting another one soon

invaderzim · « **Reply #205 on:** November 20, 2012, 07:20:31 PM »

Still the price point of vita vs psp. Can get psp 1000 with inop umd drive (not needed if running cfw or home brews) for around 20.00 ebay, then the mod screen for 65.00. If it wrks its would be better imo because there are more mods out there for psp's.

edit: Anyhoo, hoping 2 jumpstart this thread again and possibly get a touch psp going. Im not knocking vita, i just dont like how Sony now has a system where you can only use there memory cards. I like how the psp u can use any through adaptors and have up to 64gigs. (Poss more) and there is the fact that most people have psps and if they spend 60 they can have one touch. (If the part i listed on other post can work?) To me the point of moding is to have something that functions in ways it was never intended or designed to wrk. (Kinda like hotrod stationwagions lol). I just dont want to see everyone give up on something that was carrying so much momentum just because of programming issues. So can we PLEASE

get this going again???

I own a vita now. I love it. I would love to try a go at psp touch again. The problem still remains of lack of a programmer. I know how to build it not program it. but welcom to AM. nice to see fresh faces looking for something oter than rf.
nice find on the capacitive touch screen. When we started this we really only had resistive touch. A new controller would have to be designed.
this would be an awesome addition to my ps3_go device.

invaderzim · « **Reply #207 on:** November 23, 2012, 04:58:19 AM »

What i was wondering is the tft lcd says all the drivers and programming are built in. It also listed sample coding. Wondering if there could be homebrew of some sort 2 make this thing work? The connectors all look the same as the original psp screen.

1TONpete · « **Reply #208 on:** November 23, 2012, 07:45:54 AM »

I will investigate further .

invaderzim · « **Reply #209 on:** November 23, 2012, 03:08:45 PM »

Thats y this forum rocks

! Please let me know what you think. Even if psp 1000 touch is just pipe dream at this point i realy think all of the minds on this forum should be able 2 make something happen.
