Some resistive displays and board combinations may +require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's +internal state in the sys filesystem. If the kernel is configured +with it, CONFIG_SYSFS, and sysfs is mounted at /sys, there will be a +directory + + /sys/devices/platform/adc-lh7.0 + +containing these files. + + -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 samples + -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold + -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold_range + +The threshold is the current touch threshold.

There are 12. Below are typical of the last sampled values when +the pen has been released. The first two and last two samples are for +detecting whether or not the pen is down.
