My first FTIR Project, and it worked with my LCD, so now I need to get a bigger LCD and make a nicer table, so I can use it in my living room
The hammer is placed for the reason that the LCD electronics is broken, so only when the hammer is in place the screen shows something, else it’s black…
It’s my old laptop controlling it all so it’s a bit slow…

Hey there, nice project. Looking forward to updates on your progress.

That looks good. Well done!!
I didn’t know that FTIR also works with a LCD screen…
Maybe this is gonna be my second Multi Touch project!!

So is this baby working? I mean are you getting video input out of the screen?I’m really temted to buy an old screen so i can experiment with it.

Yeah, it’s working… And with the LCD on, as you can see at the picture… Don’t know how to make a movie so can’t show it right now :-( Right now i’m working on getting my 20” LCD working so i can use that instead, and intergeate it to a normal table

How many ir leds are you using? What kind of surface is it above the lcd , acrylic/glass and good job , even tough it’s really really messy )

Great work mate!! tell me how are you illuminating your LCD are you using the its regular bulbs or are you using specific leds or something else?

Taha

Nice Job

nice

I love the hammer…

Vlado -> Right now there is 32 leds, but only on one side… Think i have to use leds on 2 sides instead… The surface is acrylic....

Taha -> i’m illuminating my LCD with the regular bulbs… So it’s a pretty easy way to make a MT using a LCD…

Hey project x does the use of a regular bulb cause any kind of interference with inputs being detected?

Taha

I’m trying something similar, except i broke my lcd panel =(. But it looks good. Can’t wait to see the final project!

Taha -> What i can see no, but have not tryed it without the regular bulb....

Robot Army -> I only broke some electronics, thats why the hammer is where it is :-p

Hey, This looks like a project I might be able to replicate. Could you be nice enough to link me to a guide / start point? thanks
