8048S043 capacitative touch buttons not working in demo

[rzeldent]

Discussed in #189

^{Originally posted by ralphrmartin August 14, 2024}
I have a problem on an 8048s043 board, bought as having capacitative touch. It has both a GT911 chip and an xpt2046 chip.
The board as supplied had a demo running on it iwhich iworked OK, including touch (which does indeed seem to be capacitative as it responded to a light touch), but when I try the eap32-smartdisplay-demo program, touch does not work correctly (whether I select 8048S043C or 8048S043R). The display is drawn correctly, but the buttons to add 1 and to rotate do not function.

On enabling debugging, the display" jumps" whenever I press either button, but they still do not work as intended. The debugging information shows the below.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what is going wrong here?
(Why is the SDK version: v4.4.7-dirty?)

Thanks.
