Short: DextraPoint DD-906 Tablet Driver (+src) Author: Niclasen@bigfoot.com (John Niclasen) Uploader: Niclasen bigfoot com (John Niclasen) Type: driver/input Version: 1.0.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a driver for the DextraPoint digitizing tablet, model no. DD-906 (could be hard to get these days). All 3 buttons and the tilt function is supported. The driver has been tested both with Reac tion and MUI programs. Even if you don't have this tablet, you can use this package to develop drivers for other tablets, as the source is included and the developer tool sercon (Serial Console) also with source. Programming experience is needed though. Included is also 3 tablet icons (3 different colours) and a Tablets drawer icon in Glowicons format. INSTALLATION Put the Tablets drawer in DEVS: (Workbench/Devs) USAGE Start the Tablet driver from Workbench or drop the icon in the WBStartup drawer. The driver is a commodity, so it can be stopped with Exchange, or it can be stopped by starting the driver a second time. PROBLEMS - The driver runs ok from a shell (I use KingCON), but the shell hangs, if I start vim (vi editor) afterwards. Running the driver in one shell and vim in another works ok. - Text can't be selected in the shell (KingCON). Selecting text in EditPad works ok. I guess, this is because, the shell needs a RAWMOUSE event with LEFTBUTTON down all the time while selecting the t ext. ABOUT sercon This is a little tool to communicate with the serial port from a console window. All you press on the keyboard is sent to the serial port, and you'll see what's sent back in hex. 'y' is mapped to sen d 0x00 (binary zero) and will not be sent but just give a new line in the window. You may want to change that. For other tablets, you may have to change the baud rate and the flags.
