Hello again, Pd developers and programmers,
[added comment]
I am resending this message, as the latest version wasn't a success. I
guess no one needs a unix version of [wacom], so I rephrase the question:
who wants to port [wacom] for windows only?
H-C, I noticed that you're putting in a group to work on windows-related
stuff. Do you mind spreading this message around to any windows-related
developers? (developers! developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! developers! developers! developers!
developers! developers! developers! ...)
And after this interlude comes the original message again:
[original message]
We - me and Johannes Kreidler for now - wanted to ask if anyone would be
interested in programming a version of Thomas Grill's [wacom] for windows.
This external is used to take data from wacom tablets - so in case anyone
else is interested in this please say something.
The features/work would include:
- be compatible with general wacom architecture - and specially with the
Intuos3 (which is the tablet we own)
- take all parameters from the tablet connected
- not forgetting tilt+inclination, touch strips and keys (these aren't
covered by [wintablet])
- put the compiled binaries in a svn folder packaged with Pd Extended (see
below)
- be willing to do some maintenance now and then, specially until things
get stable (after that, I guess the work would be kind of finished)
According to T Grill, the developer(s) that work on this must register with Wacom as developer(s), so that they have access to the wacon API. Also, the source code cannot be given away, so they must sign a non-disclosure contract (from what Thomas said, not as complicated as it sounds). I couldn't find exact information about this, but at http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/index.html might be something more clear.
It would be perfect if someone would be interested in porting the code just because. In case that doesn't happen, we - me, Johannes Kreidler and whoever wants to join in - would be interested in giving a small payment for the work. We're poor people (just like you), so we can't really pay what a professional programmer should get for the work. In that case, just get in discussion with us, and we'll see what can be done.
Again, if this interests someone else - either as developper or contributor - please forward this mail away.
Best,
João Pais

Hi,
I've been using a Wacom Graphire 2 with HID for a long time. But since i've upgraded to Ubuntu Jaunty that use HAL .fdi, it's not working anymore. I can see the device using [print] - [hid] but i cannot poll it (no output). wacdump is not working either. Anyone found a solution for this? It's not a permission problem since i am root.
[wacom] where can i try it? can i compile it for linux?
Here's the story: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038949&page=29

talk to t grill. it's not open code, so you have to register with
wacom to see their api.
You only need to use the Wacom API on Windows and Mac OS X. With the
Linux kernel, Wacom support is part of the Linux input system, and is
totally free. No NDAs, no restrictions other than you have to share
like the GPL says :D
[hid] works with wacoms in Linux, it is just that Debian and Ubuntu
have been working on tightening up the security with each new release,
so you have to go thru extra tricks to get data via HID for something
other than the X server. I don't know the latest tricks, anyone?

actually, I would be interested in knowing this as well. never saw a
concrete solution for this so far.

exactly! i have a Wacom Graphire 2 (USB) and everything is working with Ubuntu Jaunty (HAL, .fdi) for example in Gimp pressure is working. BUT [hid] doesn't output. i can see the device (/dev/input/event6 for example) and the features.
i am root so i should be able to poll the tablet, but i guess X11 is taking the control... anyone?

I just looked at
http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/ibmpc/wacomwindevfaq.html
and it seems as if the SDK for Windows has changed to something called
wintab which obvisously doesn't require an NDA anymore.
Besides, this would also mean that the source code of my wacom
external wouldn't work with it.

There's the OSX binary at http://grrrr.org/ext/beta/macos/pd/

Hi all,
i'd like to add that i would pass my existing source code on the
anyone stepping in (permission from Wacom provided).
In my view (and as far as i remember) what's missing for it to work
under Windows is just some window handling code.
