M5Stack Capacitive TouchScreen

@Al-Mo can I ask you where you bought it. It seems that the seller must have posted some information incorrectly or is referring to the capacitive touch pins as @grelm mentioned. The twitter video link you posted to is a new product called the M5Tough, A tough waterproof case which adds touchscreen capability to the M5Stack. Previously no model of M5Stack have included a touch screen.

There's also this: https://twitter.com/M5Stack/status/1144512818793762816

But I don't know, maybe not my model?

This is a prototype model that is not available yet.
I do believe the touchscreen is part of a water resistant version that is "In Development"

Water resistant version with touchscreen ?!?! 👍
When and where will it be available?
Technical data already available?
I definitely want it!

Jimmie has not been very forthcomming with the specs as it is still a work in progress but i think someware he is planning on dropping the 3 buttons to allow more space for a bigger screen.

I'm sorry I didn't know Jimmy Lai before! 😢
However, now, after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLcXPGfMqbM I do! 👍
It is never to late to learn! 😉

I didn't know Jimmy as well, now I know!

Jimmy if you're reading this, thank you much, your product is excellent! :D

I am very tempted to buy this product - especially if it had a touch screen interface!

But in case it doesn't - what is meant by "10x capacitive touch interface" which is clearly stated as one of the features on https://docs.m5stack.com/#/en/core/fire ?!?

The esp32's pins can act as capacitive touch sensors however not much is know about this function.

The M5Tough which features the capacitive touch screen may be out by the end of the month.
