Electronic – Touchscreen interference (metal frame)

raspberry pitouchscreen

I have one of these. It's connected to a raspberry pi. It's being mounted against a metal frame, but when it's mounted, i get interference on the touchscreen (the mouse jumps all over the place). How can I insulate it better. I used 1 layer of duct tape and one layer of electrical tape…but it's still having issues. Any advice?

I had exactly the same problem. You probabily dont need isolation. This is a common feature when using " Falling Edge" of your micro controller's external interrupt for touch detection. Just using the " Low Level" interrupt instead of the falling edge solved my problem.
