Hi. If you configure elotouch as a mouse emulation, and then have a
GridFlow window (possibly fullscreen), then it's easy to pick up the mouse
coordinates. We used GridFlow with jMax 2.5 for that, but the same can be
done with PureData.

Connecting a [@out window] to a [route position] will produce lists in
which $1 is the Y, $2 is the X, and $3 is the "buttonstate" (whatever that
means with your touchscreen)

However I guess the pressure sensor is another thing. I have not gotten it
to that point, because we didn't really need that feature for that
project. I don't know whether the touchscreen I used really supports it.
