SKUs: AT-VTP-550, AT-VTP-800, AT-VSP-800
Summary: If the VTP is not rotating to the desired screen orientation, this can be done manually to lock into the desired orientation (i.e. Portrait or Landscape)
1.Preparation
- Download and install Platform Tools for your OS (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
- Ensure your computer and the Velocity Touch Panel are on the same network
Note: The instructions below are for Windows only.
2.Connect with ADB
- In a terminal window (Command Prompt on Windows), navigate to the Platform Tools folder you have extracted:
- Example: cd C:\adb\platform-tools
- Hint: You can right-click the folder location and click copy to make this faster
- Example: cd C:\adb\platform-tools
- Type the following command:
- adb.exe connect [touch panel IP address]:5555
- Example:
- adb.exe connect 10.0.0.80:5555
3.Changing the orientation
- Wait for VTP to connect
- Once connected, you will want to send the command to disable the auto rotate:
| adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:accelerometer_rotation --bind value:i:0 |
- After this you will want to force the panel to the orientation you need
- portrait modes
| adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:0 |
landscape modes
| adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:1 |
- The VTP will rotate a few seconds after the command is sent and will stay in that orientation
- If you are having issues with the device saying disconnected or failed attempts you will want to make sure you are not on any wifi or different VLAN/network segment from the touch panel.
4.Disconnect
- Once completed, type the following command:
- adb.exe disconnect
- Close terminal window/Command Prompt
