IR Touch Frame calibration
-
Could you not change the rotation of the display to be portrait to match the monitor and calibrate as normal?
-
The IR touch frame works without software with the Pi by just plugging it in…but it thinks it’s always in landscape mode. Wondering if there is a piece of calibration software as there is for windows to calibrate it for portrait
-
I haven’t used or needed any calibration software for mine… it just works :)
-
@cowboysdude But somebody might have bigger mirror and frame than real screen size, and his touch-solution should be upon the mirrorglass. In that case he need calibration to adjust.
-
actually for some reason it is now working!
-
@cyberphox I just purchased the IR Touch Frame for my MagicMirror but can’t change it from Landscape to Portrait. How did you manage to calibrate yours? I have a 40" frame. Any help appreciated!
-
Xinput calibrator should help
-
@cyberphox thanks! Are you able to point me on how to make the adjustments? I have xinput installed but not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for your help! -
run the calibration from the menu…touch the points and that’s it!

@cyberphox Hi there, ok! I now managed to get my IR Touch Overlay set to portrait! also just finished running the xinput touch calibrator program under ‘Preferences’ (it had me touch the 4 red crosses). It shows:
< Calibrating standard Xorg driver “Multi touch overlay device” current calibration values: min_x=0, max_x=65535 and min_y=0, max_y=65535
If these values are estimating wrong, either supply it manually with the - -precalib option, or run the ‘get_precalib.sh’ script to automatically get it (through HAL). >My issue, I find the curser doesn’t reach the the edges of my monitor. Example I can’t simply click on the Raspberry Icon in the corner. The curser is diaginally 2 inches away? I have a 42 inch IR Touch Overlay using a 32 inch LCD monitor.
Where can I set or adjust this? Any thoughts?
Fun!
