2024-07-08 14:38: Play with Carsten's drawing tablet #drawing-tablet-experiments

Can it work on linux okay? I can I use libevdev with it?

2024-07-08 14:40: It works out of the box #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-08 15:13: Initial polling program working! #drawing-tablet-experiments

X max: 21600, Y max: 13500, Physical units: 8.5 x 6 inches,

Along the Y-axis, this evenly comes too 2250 pixels/inch. The X axis is about 2541.1764. Huh.

2024-07-09 08:22: Drawing tablet experiment vs demo #drawing-tablet-demo #drawing-tablet-experiments

There is a bit of overlap here. I want the end of the "drawing tablet experiments" to have sound, and the "drawing tablet demo" to build up from that initial demo, tuning the sound better, and adding an abstraction that will make it easy to go between tablets.

2024-07-09 09:00: Some experiments with the wacom. #drawing-tablet-experiments #timelog:00:36:51

2024-07-09 09:01: What model is this Wacom Tablet? #drawing-tablet-experiments

Wacom Intuos PT M 2, according to dmesg. Researching.

More specifically: CTH-690 [Intuos Art (M)] (using product/vendor ID lookup).

Super cheap to buy on ebay.

2024-07-09 09:25: I have to learn about the finger tracking information here #drawing-tablet-experiments

Is it multi-touch?

2024-07-09 09:39: ABS_MT_SLOT keeps track of multi-touch points I think. #drawing-tablet-experiments

I'm counting 10 points multitouch.

X axis resolution: ~2143 (2150?), Y axis resolution: ~1333

2024-07-09 09:49: Time to make some noise. #drawing-tablet-experiments #timelog:01:07:40

2024-07-09 09:54: gotta build libsoundio on this device to get jack backend #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-09 09:57: voxboxOSC builds and runs. now to extract the relevant bits. #drawing-tablet-experiments

No need for the OSC bits, but the sound and DSP are a good start.

2024-07-09 10:13: time to get the code tablet hooked up #drawing-tablet-experiments

udev permissions are in order.

2024-07-09 10:33: Only set pitch when pen is down. #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-09 10:47: It works. Gotta place with this thing now. #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-09 10:54: Adding files and committing. #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-09 19:04: Troubleshooting xp-pen tablet. #drawing-tablet-experiments #timelog:00:23:34

2024-07-10 12:02: Trying out my new x-pen #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-10 12:06: It works #drawing-tablet-experiments

32767 both directions. which potentially poses a problem if you want the aspect ratio.

Just measured. 4x3 inches. so 4:3 ratio.

In theory, it's 15 bit resolution, which is great considering the size. But is it actually 15-bit? or just upsampled.

2024-07-10 12:11: udev rules to use without sudo #drawing-tablet-experiments

Also wondering: how to get max resolution automatically of touchpad?

Ah, yes it does <<misc/libevdev_get_abs_maximum>>

2024-07-10 12:20: Disabling the tablet from sway. #drawing-tablet-experiments

Note to self: I gotta organize this script better.

2024-07-10 12:24: Hook-up to singer #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-10 12:38: Tongue shape control. #drawing-tablet-experiments

2024-07-11 08:35: Officially concluded. #drawing-tablet-experiments

Now onto demo
