+# Touchscreen Calibration
+
+The DReader HAL includes touchscreen calibration support to accurately align touch coordinates with display pixels. This is essential for precise touch interaction on e-ink devices.
+
+## Why Calibration is Needed
+
+Touchscreen controllers and display controllers are separate components with their own coordinate systems. Without calibration:
+
+- Touch coordinates may not align precisely with display pixels
+- Touches may register at offset positions
+- The offset may vary across different areas of the screen
+- Linear scaling alone may not account for rotation, skew, or non-linear distortion
+
+Calibration solves this by computing an **affine transformation matrix** that maps touch coordinates to display coordinates with high precision.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Run Calibration
+
+```bash
+cd examples
+python3 calibrate_touch.py
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Display calibration targets (circles) at known positions
+2. Wait for you to touch each target
+3. Compute the transformation matrix
+4. Save calibration data to `~/.config/dreader/touch_calibration.json`
+
+### 2. Use Calibrated Touch
+
+Once calibration is complete, the touch driver automatically loads and applies the calibration:
+
+```python
+from dreader_hal.touch.ft5xx6 import FT5xx6TouchDriver
+
+touch = FT5xx6TouchDriver(width=800, height=1200)
+await touch.initialize()  # Automatically loads calibration
+
+# All touch events are now calibrated
+event = await touch.get_touch_event()
+print(f"Touch at ({event.x}, {event.y})")  # Calibrated coordinates
+```
+
+## Calibration Options
+
+### Number of Calibration Points
+
+You can choose between 5-point or 9-point calibration:
+
+```bash
+# 5-point calibration (corners + center) - faster
+python3 calibrate_touch.py --points 5
+
+# 9-point calibration (3x3 grid) - more accurate (default)
+python3 calibrate_touch.py --points 9
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Use 9-point calibration for best accuracy.
+
+### Custom Calibration File Location
+
+```bash
+python3 calibrate_touch.py --output /path/to/calibration.json
+```
+
+Then specify the same path when initializing the touch driver:
+
+```python
+touch = FT5xx6TouchDriver(
+    calibration_file="/path/to/calibration.json"
+)
+```
+
+### Display Dimensions
+
+If your display is not the default 800x1200:
+
+```bash
+python3 calibrate_touch.py --width 1024 --height 768
+```
+
+## Testing Calibration
+
+Use the test script to verify calibration quality:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_calibration.py
+```
+
+This displays an interactive UI where you can:
+- Tap anywhere on the screen
+- See calibrated coordinates with crosshairs
+- View calibration offset and error
+- Verify calibration quality
+
+## Calibration Quality
+
+The calibration system computes **RMS (Root Mean Square) error** to assess quality:
+
+| Quality | RMS Error | Description |
+|---------|-----------|-------------|
+| Excellent | < 5 pixels | Professional-grade accuracy |
+| Good | 5-10 pixels | Suitable for most applications |
+| Fair | 10-20 pixels | Acceptable for basic touch |
+| Poor | > 20 pixels | Re-calibration recommended |
+
+Quality is displayed during calibration and can be checked programmatically:
+
+```python
+quality = touch.calibration.get_calibration_quality()
+error = touch.calibration.calibration_data.rms_error
+print(f"Calibration: {quality} ({error:.2f}px RMS error)")
+```
+
+## How Calibration Works
+
+### 1. Calibration Point Collection
+
+The calibration process displays targets at known display coordinates and records the raw touch coordinates when you tap each target:
+
+```
+Display Coordinates    Touch Coordinates
+(100, 100)      →      (95, 103)
+(400, 100)      →      (392, 105)
+(700, 100)      →      (689, 107)
+...
+```
+
+### 2. Affine Transformation
+
+An affine transformation maps touch coordinates to display coordinates:
+
+```
+x_display = a * x_touch + b * y_touch + c
+y_display = d * x_touch + e * y_touch + f
+```
+
+This handles:
+- **Translation** (offset)
+- **Scaling** (different resolutions)
+- **Rotation** (if display is rotated)
+- **Skew** (non-perpendicular axes)
+
+### 3. Least-Squares Fitting
+
+The calibration algorithm uses **least-squares fitting** to find the best transformation matrix that minimizes error across all calibration points.
+
+With N calibration points, the system is:
+- **Over-determined** (N > 3 points for 6 unknowns)
+- **Robust** to individual touch errors
+- **Optimal** in the least-squares sense
+
+### 4. Coordinate Transformation
+
+Once calibrated, all touch coordinates are automatically transformed:
+
+```python
+# Raw touch from sensor
+raw_x, raw_y = 392, 105
+
+# Apply calibration
+calibrated_x, calibrated_y = calibration.transform(raw_x, raw_y)
+# Result: (400, 100) - matches display target!
+```
+
+## Calibration Data Format
+
+Calibration is saved as JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "points": [
+    {"display_x": 100, "display_y": 100, "touch_x": 95, "touch_y": 103},
+    {"display_x": 400, "display_y": 100, "touch_x": 392, "touch_y": 105},
+    ...
+  ],
+  "matrix": [1.05, -0.02, -3.5, 0.01, 0.98, 2.1],
+  "width": 800,
+  "height": 1200,
+  "rms_error": 3.42
+}
+```
+
+- **points**: List of calibration point pairs
+- **matrix**: Affine transformation `[a, b, c, d, e, f]`
+- **width/height**: Display dimensions
+- **rms_error**: Quality metric in pixels
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+### Manual Calibration
+
+You can implement custom calibration UI:
+
+```python
+from dreader_hal.calibration import TouchCalibration
+
+# Create calibration instance
+calibration = TouchCalibration(width=800, height=1200, num_points=9)
+
+# Generate target positions
+targets = calibration.generate_target_positions(margin=100, target_radius=20)
+
+# For each target
+for display_x, display_y in targets:
+    # Show target on display
+    # Wait for touch
+    touch_x, touch_y = get_touch()  # Your touch reading code
+
+    # Add calibration point
+    calibration.add_calibration_point(display_x, display_y, touch_x, touch_y)
+
+# Compute transformation
+success = calibration.compute_calibration()
+
+if success:
+    # Save calibration
+    calibration.save("~/.config/dreader/touch_calibration.json")
+
+    print(f"Quality: {calibration.get_calibration_quality()}")
+    print(f"RMS Error: {calibration.calibration_data.rms_error:.2f}px")
+```
+
+### Using Calibration
+
+```python
+from dreader_hal.calibration import TouchCalibration
+
+# Load existing calibration
+calibration = TouchCalibration(width=800, height=1200)
+calibration.load("~/.config/dreader/touch_calibration.json")
+
+# Transform coordinates
+display_x, display_y = calibration.transform(raw_x, raw_y)
+
+# Check if calibrated
+if calibration.is_calibrated():
+    print("Calibration active")
+```
+
+## When to Re-Calibrate
+
+You should re-calibrate if:
+
+- **Initial setup**: First time using the device
+- **Hardware changes**: Replaced touchscreen or display
+- **Poor accuracy**: RMS error > 20 pixels
+- **Display rotation**: Changed from portrait to landscape
+- **Physical damage**: Screen damage or loose connections
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Calibration Fails to Compute
+
+**Problem:** `compute_calibration()` returns `False`
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Ensure at least 3 calibration points were collected
+- Check that points are not all collinear
+- Verify touch coordinates are valid
+
+### Poor Calibration Quality
+
+**Problem:** High RMS error or "Poor" quality rating
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Re-run calibration, touching targets more precisely
+- Use 9-point calibration instead of 5-point
+- Check for hardware issues (loose connections, damaged screen)
+- Ensure targets are clearly visible on e-ink display
+
+### Calibration Not Loading
+
+**Problem:** "No calibration file found" message
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check calibration file exists at expected path
+- Verify file permissions are readable
+- Ensure display dimensions match calibration data
+
+### Touches Still Offset After Calibration
+
+**Problem:** Calibrated touches don't align with targets
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check calibration quality with `test_calibration.py`
+- Re-run calibration
+- Verify calibration file is being loaded (check console output)
+- Ensure touch driver is using calibration (not bypassed)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Custom Transformation Algorithms
+
+The default calibration uses affine transformation with least-squares fitting. For advanced use cases, you can extend `TouchCalibration`:
+
+```python
+class CustomCalibration(TouchCalibration):
+    def compute_calibration(self) -> bool:
+        # Implement custom algorithm
+        # e.g., polynomial transformation, neural network, etc.
+        pass
+```
+
+### Multi-Display Support
+
+For devices with multiple displays:
+
+```python
+# Calibration per display
+calibration_main = TouchCalibration(800, 1200)
+calibration_main.load("main_display_cal.json")
+
+calibration_secondary = TouchCalibration(400, 600)
+calibration_secondary.load("secondary_display_cal.json")
+```
+
+### Runtime Calibration Adjustment
+
+You can update calibration without full re-calibration:
+
+```python
+# Add new calibration points to existing calibration
+calibration.add_calibration_point(x_display, y_display, x_touch, y_touch)
+calibration.compute_calibration()  # Re-compute with new points
+calibration.save(calibration_file)
+```

+pip list | grep -E "(IT8951|pyft5xx6|pybma400|pypcf8523|ina219)"
+```
+
+## Development Setup
+
+For development with testing and linting tools:
+
+```bash
+# Install development dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+
+# Run tests with coverage
+pytest --cov=dreader_hal tests/
+
+# Format code
+black src/ tests/ examples/
+
+# Type checking
+mypy src/
+```
+
+## Testing Without Hardware
+
+To test the HAL without actual hardware:
+
+```python
+from dreader_hal import EReaderDisplayHAL
+
+# Create HAL with virtual components
+hal = EReaderDisplayHAL(
+    virtual_display=True,          # Tkinter window
+    enable_orientation=False,       # No accelerometer
+    enable_rtc=False,              # No RTC
+    enable_power_monitor=False,    # No INA219
+)
+```
+
+This will use a Tkinter window for the display and won't try to access I2C devices.
+
+## Quick Install Script
+
+For convenience, here's a script to install everything:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# install_all.sh
+
+set -e
+
+echo "Installing external drivers..."
+
+# IT8951
+cd external/IT8951
+pip install ./[rpi]
+cd ../..
+
+# PyFTtxx6
+cd external/PyFTtxx6/pyft5xx6
+pip install -e .
+cd ../../..
+
+# PyBMA400
+cd external/PyBMA400
+pip install -e .
+cd ../..
+
+# PyPCF8523
+cd external/PyPCF8523
+pip install -e .
+cd ../..
+
+# pi_ina219
+cd external/pi_ina219
+pip install .
+cd ../..
+
+echo "Installing dreader-hal..."
+pip install -e .[rpi]
+
+echo "Installation complete!"
+echo "Run 'pytest tests/' to verify."
+```
+
+Save this as `install_all.sh`, make it executable (`chmod +x install_all.sh`), and run it.

+import asyncio
+from dreader_hal import EReaderDisplayHAL, GestureType
+from PIL import Image
+
+async def main():
+    # Create HAL
+    hal = EReaderDisplayHAL(
+        width=800,
+        height=1200,
+        vcom=-2.0,  # Check your device label
+        virtual_display=False,  # Set True for testing
+    )
+
+    # Initialize
+    await hal.initialize()
+
+    # Display an image
+    image = Image.open("my_page.png")
+    await hal.show_image(image)
+
+    # Handle touch events
+    while True:
+        event = await hal.get_touch_event()
+
+        if event:
+            if event.gesture == GestureType.SWIPE_LEFT:
+                print("Next page!")
+            elif event.gesture == GestureType.SWIPE_RIGHT:
+                print("Previous page!")
+            elif event.gesture == GestureType.TAP:
+                print(f"Tapped at ({event.x}, {event.y})")
+
+    # Cleanup
+    await hal.cleanup()
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+### Testing Without Hardware

+
+```python
+hal = EReaderDisplayHAL(
+    width=800,
+    height=1200,
+    virtual_display=True,  # Uses Tkinter window
+    enable_orientation=False,  # No accelerometer
+    enable_rtc=False,  # No RTC
+    enable_power_monitor=False,  # No INA219
+)
+```

+
+## Gesture Detection
+
+The HAL implements comprehensive gesture detection:
+
+| Gesture | Detection Criteria | Usage |
+|---------|-------------------|-------|
+| **TAP** | < 30px movement, < 300ms | Select links, buttons |
+| **LONG_PRESS** | < 30px movement, >= 500ms | Context menu, definitions |
+| **SWIPE_LEFT** | Horizontal, dx < -30px | Next page |
+| **SWIPE_RIGHT** | Horizontal, dx > 30px | Previous page |
+| **SWIPE_UP** | Vertical, dy < -30px | Open navigation |
+| **SWIPE_DOWN** | Vertical, dy > 30px | Open settings |
+| **PINCH_IN** | Two-finger distance decrease | Decrease font size |
+| **PINCH_OUT** | Two-finger distance increase | Increase font size |
+
+## E-ink Optimization
+
+The display driver implements several e-ink optimizations:
+
+### Refresh Modes
+
+- **FAST** (DU mode): ~200ms, for text/UI updates
+- **QUALITY** (GC16 mode): ~1000ms, for images
+- **FULL** (INIT mode): Full refresh to clear ghosting
+- **AUTO**: Automatically chooses based on content
+
+### Power Saving
+
+**Automatic Display Sleep**: The display automatically enters sleep mode after each update to save power. E-ink displays only need power during refresh, not for static content. This significantly extends battery life.
+
+To disable auto-sleep (e.g., for rapid successive updates):
+
+```python
+hal = EReaderDisplayHAL(
+    width=800,
+    height=1200,
+    auto_sleep_display=False  # Keep display awake
+)
+```
+
+### Automatic Ghosting Prevention
+
+Full refresh every 10 pages to clear accumulated ghosting artifacts.
+
+### Dithering
+
+Floyd-Steinberg dithering improves grayscale image quality on e-ink.
+
+## API Reference
+
+### EReaderDisplayHAL
+
+Main HAL class implementing the DisplayHAL interface.
+
+#### Constructor
+
+```python
+EReaderDisplayHAL(
+    width: int = 800,
+    height: int = 1200,
+    vcom: float = -2.0,
+    spi_hz: int = 24_000_000,

+
+**Extended Methods:**
+
+Power Management:
+- `async get_battery_level() -> float` - Get battery % (0-100)
+- `async get_power_stats() -> PowerStats` - Get detailed power stats
+- `async is_low_battery(threshold: float = 20.0) -> bool` - Check low battery
+- `async set_low_power_mode(enabled: bool)` - Enable/disable low power mode
+
+Orientation:
+- `async enable_orientation_monitoring()` - Start orientation monitoring
+- `async disable_orientation_monitoring()` - Stop orientation monitoring
+- `current_orientation` property - Get current device orientation
+
+RTC (Real-Time Clock):
+- `async get_datetime() -> time.struct_time` - Get current date/time from RTC
+- `async set_datetime(dt: time.struct_time)` - Set RTC date/time
+- `async set_alarm(minute: int, hour: int)` - Set RTC alarm (minute precision)
+
+### Types
+
+```python
+from dreader_hal import GestureType, TouchEvent, PowerStats, Orientation
+
+# Touch event
+event = TouchEvent(
+    gesture=GestureType.TAP,
+    x=400,
+    y=600,
+    timestamp_ms=1234567890.0
+)
+
+# Power statistics
+stats = PowerStats(
+    voltage=3.7,
+    current=150.0,
+    power=555.0,
+    battery_percent=85.0,
+    time_remaining=180,  # minutes
+    is_charging=False
+)
+
+# Orientation
+orientation = Orientation.PORTRAIT_0  # or LANDSCAPE_90, etc.
+```
+
+## Real-Time Clock (RTC)
+
+The HAL includes a PCF8523 RTC for accurate timekeeping with battery backup:
+
+### Features
+
+- **Battery-backed timekeeping** - Maintains time when device is off
+- **Alarm support** - Minute-precision alarms for wake events
+- **Auto-sync** - Syncs with system time after power loss
+- **Calibration** - Clock accuracy adjustment support
+
+### Usage
+
+```python
+import time
+
+# Get current time
+current_time = await hal.get_datetime()
+print(time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", current_time))
+
+# Set time
+new_time = time.localtime()  # Use current system time
+await hal.set_datetime(new_time)
+
+# Set alarm for 7:30 AM
+await hal.set_alarm(hour=7, minute=30)
+```
+
+See [examples/rtc_demo.py](examples/rtc_demo.py) for a complete example.
+
+## Touchscreen Calibration
+
+The HAL includes touchscreen calibration to align touch coordinates with display pixels:
+
+```bash
+# Run calibration (displays touch targets)
+cd examples
+python3 calibrate_touch.py
+
+# Test calibration
+python3 test_calibration.py
+```
+
+Calibration uses affine transformation with least-squares fitting to achieve sub-5-pixel accuracy. See **[CALIBRATION.md](CALIBRATION.md)** for detailed documentation.
+
+## Examples
+
+See the `examples/` directory for complete examples:
+
+- **[simple_display.py](examples/simple_display.py)** - Basic display and touch demo
+- **[battery_monitor.py](examples/battery_monitor.py)** - Power monitoring demo
+- **[rtc_demo.py](examples/rtc_demo.py)** - RTC timekeeping and alarms demo
+- **[calibrate_touch.py](examples/calibrate_touch.py)** - Touchscreen calibration utility
+- **[test_calibration.py](examples/test_calibration.py)** - Test calibration accuracy
+
+Run examples:
+
+```bash
+cd examples
+python3 simple_display.py
+```
+
+## Hardware Setup
+
+### Connections
+
+All components connect via I2C and SPI:
+
+| Component | Interface | Default Address | Pins |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------------|------|
+| IT8951 | SPI | N/A | MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS, HRDY, RESET |
+| FT5316 | I2C | 0x38 | SDA, SCL |
+| BMA400 | I2C | 0x14 | SDA, SCL |
+| PCF8523 | I2C | 0x68 | SDA, SCL |
+| INA219 | I2C | 0x40 | SDA, SCL |
+
+### Enable I2C and SPI
+
+On Raspberry Pi:
+
+```bash
+sudo raspi-config
+# Navigate to: Interface Options > I2C > Enable
+# Navigate to: Interface Options > SPI > Enable
+```
+
+### Verify Devices
+
+```bash
+# Check I2C devices
+i2cdetect -y 1
+
+# Expected output shows addresses: 0x14, 0x38, 0x40, 0x68
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The project uses pytest for testing:
+
+```bash
+# Install dev dependencies
+pip install -e .[dev]
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=dreader_hal tests/
+```
+
+Note: Hardware-specific tests require actual devices connected. Mock tests run without hardware.

+
+### Adding Tests
+
+Since PyBMA400, PyFTtxx6, and PyPCF8523 are our repos, we can add tests directly to them as needed.
+
+For HAL-level tests, use the `tests/` directory:
+
+```python
+# tests/unit/test_hal.py
+import pytest
+from dreader_hal import EReaderDisplayHAL
+
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_hal_initialization():
+    hal = EReaderDisplayHAL(virtual_display=True)
+    await hal.initialize()
+    assert hal._initialized
+    await hal.cleanup()
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+Target performance metrics (from HAL spec):
+
+| Metric | Target | Critical |
+|--------|--------|----------|
+| Image display latency | < 100ms | < 500ms |
+| Touch event latency | < 50ms | < 200ms |
+| E-ink refresh (fast) | < 200ms | < 500ms |
+| E-ink refresh (full) | < 1000ms | < 2000ms |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Display not working
+
+- Check SPI is enabled: `ls /dev/spi*`
+- Verify connections (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS, HRDY, RESET)
+- Check VCOM voltage matches your device
+
+### Touch not detecting
+
+- Check I2C device: `i2cdetect -y 1` (should see 0x38)
+- Verify SDA/SCL connections
+- Check polling interval (default 10ms)
+
+### Power monitor errors
+
+- Verify shunt resistor value (default 0.1Ω)
+- Check I2C address (default 0x40)
+- Ensure max_expected_amps is appropriate
