TPanel is an implementation of some AMX G4/G5 touch panels. The panels used
to verify the communication protocol and the behavior were an AMX MVP-5200i an
AMX NXD-700Vi and an MST-701.

TPanel was designed for *NIX desktops (Linux, BSD, …) as well as Android and
IOS operating systems. To create an executable for Android a special shell
script exists. It sets all dependencies and starts cmake with all necessary
parameters.

Hint: With version 1.4 of TPanel the support for Qt 5.x was canceled.
Now you must use Qt 6.x for all operating systems!

The software uses internally the Skia library for drawing
all objects and the Qt framework to display the objects
and handle widgets. TPanel is written in C++. This makes it especially on
mobile platforms fast and reliable. It has the advantage to not drain the
battery of any mobile device while running as fast as possible. Compared to
commercial products the battery lasts up to 10 times longer.

Look at the full documentation in this repository. You’ll find the
reference manual in three different formats:

• PDF
• ODT

For Linux and MacOS you need the following libraries installed:

• Qt 6
• Skia
• pjsip
• openssl (part of your distribution)
• Expat (part of your distribution)
• Freetype (part of your distribution)

To install Qt I recommend to download the open source version from
Open Source Development.
However: Some Linux distributions are coming with Qt included. If you want to
use this version make sure, to install the Qt6 packages.

First download the source into a
directory. Then enter the directory and type the following commands.

$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/<path>/<to>/Qt/6.x.x/gcc_64/lib/cmake"
$ cd build
$ make
$ sudo make install

Replace <path>/<to>/ with the path to your Qt installation (usualy /opt/Qt).

First download the source into a directory. Then enter the directory and type the following commands.

$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/<path>/<to>/Qt/6.x.x/macos/lib/cmake:/<path>/<to>/homebrew/lib/cmake"
$ cd build
$ make

Replace <path>/<to>/ with the path to your Qt installation and to homebrew (usualy $HOME/Qt, /opt/homebrew).

You’ll find the application in build/tpanel.app/Contents/MacOS/tpanel. Start it from the command line like:

build/tpanel.app/Contents/MacOS/tpanel -c <configuration file>

If everything compiled successful and installed, you can start the application.
There is a setup dialog included. It depends on the operating system of how
it looks like.

• Compile for Android
• Compile for iOS
