This external is used to take data from wacom<br> tablets - so in case anyone else is interested in this please say something.<br> <br> The features/work would include:<br> <br> - be compatible with general wacom architecture - and specially with the<br> Intuos3 (which is the tablet we own)<br> - take all parameters from the tablet connected<br> - not forgetting tilt+inclination, touch strips and keys (these aren't<br> covered by [wintablet])<br> - put the compiled binaries in a svn folder packaged with Pd Extended (see<br> below)<br> - be willing to do some maintenance now and then, specially until things<br> get stable (after that, I guess the work would be kind of finished)<br> <br> According to T Grill, the developer(s) that work on this must register<br> with Wacom as developer(s), so that they have access to the wacon API.<br> Also, the source code cannot be given away, so they must sign a<br> non-disclosure contract (from what Thomas said, not as complicated as it<br> sounds). I couldn't find exact information about this, but at<br> <a href="http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html</a> might be something more<br> clear.<br> <br> It would be perfect if someone would be interested in porting the code<br> just because. In case that doesn't happen, we - me, Johannes Kreidler and<br> whoever wants to join in - would be interested in giving a small payment<br> for the work. We're poor people (just like you), so we can't really pay<br> what a professional programmer should get for the work. In that case, just<br> get in discussion with us, and we'll see what can be done.<br> <br> Again, if this interests someone else - either as developper or<br> contributor - please forward this mail away.<br> <br> Best,<br> <br> Joćo Pais<br> <br> --<br> Friedenstr. 58<br> 10249 Berlin (Deutschland)<br> Tel +49 30 42020091 | Mob +49 162 6843570<br> <a href="mailto:jmmmpais@googlemail.com" target="_blank">jmmmpais@googlemail.com</a> | skype: jmmmpjmmmp<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Pd-dev mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Pd-dev@iem.at" target="_blank">Pd-dev@iem.at</a><br> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev</a><br> <br> </blockquote> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Pd-dev mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Pd-dev@iem.at" target="_blank">Pd-dev@iem.at</a><br> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev</a><br> </blockquote> <br> <br> <br></div></div> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> All information should be free. - the hacker ethic<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Pd-dev mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Pd-dev@iem.at" target="_blank">Pd-dev@iem.at</a><br> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br></blockquote></div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><br></div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Computer science is no more related to the computer than astronomy is related to the telescope. -Edsger Dykstra</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span> </div><br></body></html>
