Hi,
Is there Wacom tablet support for the newers versions of PD on OSX?
Thanks,
No, someone would have to write an object to the Wacom API since they
decided not use the HID API. On GNU/Linux, the wacom's use the HID
API, so they'll work with [hid].

Ok. Is there another application that reads the Wacom tablet parameters and send it via OSC, MIDI, etc? In this way I could read it in PD.

A related problem is that Wacom doesn not allow the disclosure of the
API source code, hence all Windows or OSX objects can't be open source.
I actually have an object for OSX (on http://grrrr.org/ext/beta). It's
hardly tested, so no guarantees....

I wonder if anybody has written a Wacom app the sends all its data
over network sockets... In geneal, this is a very handy way to
interface pd through netreceive, as it de-couples the device drivers
from pd and often works better than a "native" app.

Where did you see that you can't release source code related to the
Wacom API? This is the only thing that I could find, and it says
only the underlying protocol is subject to NDA:
http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/ibmpc/wacomwindevfaq.html
"A very few individuals doing such things as university research have
signed nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) with Wacom to get the data
format and other information needed to communicate directly with the
tablet. The data packets for Intuos are considerably more complex
than the data format for the older tablets and may well change in the
future. There is generally no good reason to directly communicate
with the tablet instead of using Wintab, but if you have a unique
situation, you can contact Wacom's Product Management to see about
signing an NDA."
