Michael,

Can you send me the output of ts_test_raw after you done a 5 or so touch

down and touch up events? In the output let me know at which point in the
log that the issue you observed has occurred. Please try to avoid moving your
finger since I want to see the full output of that program but I'm not
interested any unnecessary pen down events.

Oddly the repeated pen up and down events do not occur when running
ts_print_raw:

Here is what the output of ts_test looks like without even touching the

[Franklin] So your saying the above ts_test is being ran and you never touched the screen? Looking at the mailing list post you sent earlier it seems like the goal is for the ADC to be used at the same time. Is that the case when you ran both ts_test and ts_print_raw?

I recently encountered several touchscreen problems that I am working on

submitting to mainline. Below are the variety of issues I discovered and fixed
but its currently based on 3.14 kernel.

quoted

1. The x and y location right before a penup event is usually incorrect.

Visibly the causes the cursor to jump right before a touchup. So I
implemented a way to ignore that incorrect event.

quoted

2. I discovered that for some reason a series of touch up events are sent

back to back. So I added something to ignore consecutive pen up events.

quoted

3. Sometimes a pen down event is reported with a pressure of 0. I noticed

applications like ts_lib looked at the pressure and thought a pressure of 0
means a finger was lifted. So I added a patch that ignored 0 pressure pen
down events. This prevented premature touchups.

quoted

4. I added debouncing. Essentially the driver didn't report any touch events

for a user specified number of ms after a pen up occured. It was noticed
especially during touchscreen calibration that after a person lifted their finger
after touching the screen a combination of pen up and pen down events
were incorrectly detected.

quoted

Most likely a combination of 2-4 is your problem. I think the udelay acted

like an unintentional debounce which is probably why it wasn't discovered
sooner.
