Subject: [TigerboardAG] Tigerboard and 3rdparty input devices
Message-ID: <20080506151112.GA28710@bullet.uchicago.edu>

hi,

i'm new to Tigerboard and have only used it in some short testing session
so far.

i noticed on the Tigerboard homepage that Tigerboard is compatible with
some smartboard technologies.

one of the AG nodes i handle is part of a fairly new UofC Dept of Surgery
conference/presentation space.
most of these surgeons are pretty good with a pen and would like to
draw detailed diagrams that would lend themselves more to a sophisticated
input device such as a Wacom input tablet or input screen.

has Tigerboard been successfully used with drawing tablets?
also, is there an post-archive for this listserve?

thanks, much.

Hi Fred,

   Actually, it was compatible with Smart Tech, but they changed their
API's so it doesn't work completely with their software.  However, if
you disable their ink software and just have it act as a mouse, then
Tigerboard should work fine...I've used it with a pen mouse, tablet pc,
etc.

   This list hasn't been that active, so there's not very much of an
archive.  I guess there haven't been that many problems.

  Hope that helps.  Doc

>From what I understood - any device that utilizes a "mouse"/"pen" interface
will work with Tigerboard. I.e. Any "pointer" device.

On smartboard, disable the software layer on it and then you can use the
pens - although then it won't change color based on the pen. I.e you're in
"Mouse" or "pointer" mode with the smartboard.

hi, Doc.
i'll take a look at Smart Tech products.
i'm looking at their website and they may have a product that would
fit in well with our needs....  the price may be an issue.

by disabling ink software, you are referring to Smart Tech's integrated
pen?

thanks,

--fred

It was nice when Doc was able to access their API. Once they changed that,
he couldn't take advantage it anymore. :-(
