The HIGH register varies a lot while I move my finger around, but the COMPLETE looks like its always going and being cleared. I mentioned before that reading the COMPLETE status reg before the LOW and HIGH produces completely different results.

Hi Jean-Francois,

Barry Song, the driver author left ADI quite some time ago
I don't have hardware to test things at the moment.

The EVAL-AD7147 only has sliders and buttons, so I don't know how useful
it will be here.
Need to check if I can find one having a wheel.
