WaveShare 5 inch Resistive Touch Screen LCD, HDMI interface, Designed for Raspberry Pi

based on AR1100 4 wires

I encountered problems to apply this driver derekhe/waveshare-7inch-touchscreen-driver to my 5" screen so I made a few modifications.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ dmesg

First, obtain min and max values for calibration, the easiest way is to use touch.py script. To get min x and y press screen in left upper corner. To get max x and y press screen in right lower corner respectively.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /usr/bin/touch.py

True 139 209 <-- upper left min x,y

Left click
True 3936 3934 <-- lower right max x,y

False 0 0

See my modifications below /usr/bin/touch.py :

...
        while True:
            try:
                b = f.read(22)  # was 25
                (tag, btnLeft, x, y) = struct.unpack_from('>c?HH', b)
		x-=140 # x offset min(x)
		y-=210 # y offset min(y)
		# screen is 800x480 px 
		x=int(x/4.75) # x_scale=(max(x)-min(x))/800=(3940-140)/800=4.75
		y=int(y/7.73) # y_scale=(max(y)-min(y))/480=(3920-210)/480=7.73
                print(btnLeft, x, y)
            except:
                print('failed to read from deviceFound' + str(deviceFound))
                return
...

restart service

/etc/init.d/touch.sh restart

Now touch screen should correctly emulate mouse.
