We've designed a product which uses a BeagleBone Black with a resistive 
touch screen.  The BBB controls some external hardware which is designed to 
generate large amounts of EMI.  When gating is on, the hardware resonates 
at around 200 kHz, most likely with large amounts of harmonics.  When 
gating is off, the hardware is off and not generating substantial EMI.

At the moment gating is enabled, the EMI starts and the touchscreen gets a 
phantom press.  Gating can be as low as 3 Hz (50% duty cycle?) and you can 
hear a "tick tick tick" sound at 3 Hz.  At every "tick", the cursor jumps 
to a random position.  At 100% duty cycle or at very high gating 
frequencies, the touchscreen behaves normally.

Is there a way to disable touchscreen sampling for a short time period when 
the gate signal (generated by the BBB) is asserted?
