Hello all,
Just wanted to generally discuss a very odd problem that me and my friend have come across. I wanna underline that this is not a Teensy issue, more of a paranormal activity issue (lol).
Both me and my friend have custom PCB's with Teensy Micromods on them, we both have the exact same PCB which we have designed together. They're solid and as far as we know they work. Or atleast my friends one work perfectly over and over.
The specific issue is that I get "lag" or rather slowdown. More specifically on the touch glass. We've tied the backlight of the LCD to the touch of the glass to see the delay. On my friends end it's instant, like light speed instant. When he touches the glass the backlight is on. It's to the point where it's very satisfying to watch.
On my end, with the same PCB, display and now even with his code just to rule that out. Mine is almost 0.5 seconds in delay when I touch. I've gone so far to replace components, I've tested 3 brand new Micromods, new display with new touchglass, new connectors. I've also tried other powersources, other cables, I even flashed from my laptop instead of my main PC. We're at the point where things don't make sense anymore. Is there a ghost in my house messing with me? The only other thing I can think of is that the PCB is faulty, perhaps bad grounding at some point(?).
EDIT: Some more info that might be good to have: i2c touch glass with FT6236 driver, using 2x 3.3k resistors for the i2c bus. Nothing else is on the i2c bus (no other devices or sensors).
I basically just wanted to share this very strange problem and perhaps get some ideas from you guys. Maybe one of you have gone down this road before?
Cheers!
