## WiziTouch

... is WIFI enabled board for ultra low cost simple interaction with humans.

This project is for inspiration and can be enhanced, more buttons, different labels and some onboard devices like RTC clock, mosfet drivers to direct control in application like termostat or smart switch.
It is designed like touch panel only but I have larger ambition, for small project it can work as complete standalone unit.

Heart is amazing circuitpython which have suport for touch buttons, IPS display and also provide sound output, not only simple beeps but also mp3 playback for true vice prompts.

Display can show true color images in "high resolution" for graphs, icons and simple text with various fonts ...

## Touch code example

```python
import touchio

def readKeyboard():
    key=-1
    if touch_up.value:
        key=1
    if touch_down.value:
        key=2            
    if touch_left.value:
        key=3
    if touch_right.value:
        key=4
    if touch_ok.value:
        key=5
    if touch_back.value:
        key=6                    
        
    return key

touch_back = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP14)
touch_down = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP3)
touch_left = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP9)
touch_ok = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP2)
touch_up = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP8)
touch_right = touchio.TouchIn(board.GP1)
```

## Display code example

```python
from adafruit_st7789 import ST7789

# Release any resources currently in use for the displays
displayio.release_displays()

tft_cs = board.GP21
tft_dc = board.GP16

spi_mosi = board.GP19
spi_clk = board.GP18
spi = busio.SPI(spi_clk, spi_mosi)
backlight = board.GP22

display_bus = displayio.FourWire(spi, command=tft_dc, chip_select=tft_cs)

display = ST7789(display_bus, width=160, height=80, rowstart=1, colstart=26, rotation=270, backlight_pin=backlight)

# Make the display context
# splash = displayio.Group()
# display.show(splash)

print("Display test")
```

## Audio code example - simple BEEP

```python
def beep():
    audioPin = PWMOut(board.GP0, duty_cycle=0, frequency=440, variable_frequency=True)
    audioPin.frequency = 5000
    audioPin.duty_cycle = 10000
    time.sleep(0.02)
    audioPin.duty_cycle = 0
    audioPin.deinit()
```

## Audio code example - mp3 playback

```python
import board
import audiomp3
import audiopwmio
audio = audiopwmio.PWMAudioOut(board.GP0)
decoder = audiomp3.MP3Decoder(open("/mp3/new.mp3", "rb"))
audio.play(decoder)
while audio.playing:
    pass

print("Done playing!")
```
