For years, the GT911 was a bit of a "black box" in the maker community. Many developers found themselves with cheap, high-quality touchscreens from platforms like AliExpress but lacked clear documentation. The "story" of its register map is one of community reverse-engineering and shared discovery:

For detailed implementation steps, you can refer to technical guides like the Focus LCDs GT911 Programming Note. gt911 register map

Fetch Coordinates: Read the coordinate registers for each active point. For example, Point 1's X-coordinate is at 0x8150 (Low) and 0x8151 (High).
