Short: Tablet driver for Calcomp 3200 series Author: Frank Mariak Uploader: F Mariak ping de Type: driver/input Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a graphics tablet driver for the CalComp DrawingSlateII series. It requires at least OS3.x and acts like a commodity that sends input events to the input.device to let the tablet work as a mouse replacement. It supports the tablet messages supported by OS3.x and the passive API mode of Roland Schwingel's Wacom tablet drivers. Tooltypes --------- DEVICE_NAME name of the serial device driver the tablet is used with. It defaults to "serial.device" DEVICE_UNIT unit number the tablet is connected to. Defaults to "0" What is CalComp DrawingSlateII (3200 series) -------------------------------------------- CalComp DrawingSlateII is a 4"x5" graphics tablet. It has a pen that is pressure, tilt and height sensitive. All that data is passed to OS 3.x and can be used by software that supports the OS3.x tablet message interface. It has a button built into the tip plus two side buttons on the barrel. The button built into the tip acts as a left mouse button where the two side buttons act as middle and right mouse button. This tablet also has a menu strip at the top with a row of 18 keys. This can be used to configure the tablet manually but also as macro keys by custom software. The driver does not yet support the keys, though. How to use it ------------- In order to use it you must set the tablet's transfer settings to 9600Baud, 8N1. Set it to data transfer mode CalComp AFT. You can find info on how to do that in the Calcomp DrawingSlateII users manual. Special features of the driver ------------------------------ You can switch between relative and absolute mode by pressing button 3 outside the actual tablet drawing area. To Do ----- - GUI to set preferences - Macro and tablet button support
