Hello, I try to capture the data from my Bamboo touch wacom tablet with the HID object. Everything is ok except the polling of the data.
The tablet works fine with X. I can see the data with the xidump command line tool.
I think that the input events are provided only to the X event queue and not to the hid system of pd. I'm certainly not alone to be in that situation.
Thank you !
PS : My linux is Ubuntu Lucid 10.04
[hid] on Linux relies on a /dev/input/event* devices. If that device does not provide a /dev/input/event* device, then [hid] can't read it. One possibility is that you are using an X driver for that tablet, so not a /dev/input/event* device.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson

another possibility is, that you don't have read permissions for the /dev/input/eventX device (that points to your wacom tablet)

Hello,
I used the last input-wacom driver : insmod /home/.../input-wacom-0.12.1/2.6.30/wacom.ko When loaded it creates /dev/input/event14 and a /dev/input/wacom entries I ran pd with sudo. I tested the HID object with the example of the documentation. The "info" message displayed correctly the properties of the tablet. However, when I tried to use the polling function, nothing happened.

I believe that X11 gets locks access to the device exclusively. This affects all devices. Search puredata.info and the archives of this list for notes on how to get around this.
