Hello Everyone, This is my first involvement in this project so please let me know if I'm posting in the wrong place or anything. My name's Mark Johnson, I'm mainly a web developer but dabble quite a bit.
The reason for my posting is that I recently purchased a Boogie Board Rip[1]. As well as the advertised features it appears as /dev/hidrawx when plugged in to a Linux box, and sends a stream of binary reporting any event that happens on the board. Here's its lsusb entry: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 2047:ffe7 Texas Instruments and dmesg output: [48257.380164] generic-usb 0003:2047:FFE7.0006: timeout initializing reports [48257.380330] generic-usb 0003:2047:FFE7.0006: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Device [Improv USB Device] on usb-0000:00:02.1-4.2/input1 Now, I've been able to decode the binary to work out which bytes are referring to which events, and write a Ruby script[2] to report each event as they happen. It strikes me that when plugged in the device is essentially a graphics tablet, there's just no driver to allow it to be used as such. So my questions are: Would it be possible and appropriate to add support for the device to this project, if it's not a Wacom device? Given that I am but a lowly web developer, would anyone be willing to use the information I've gathered so far (and any more I'm able to provide) to do so? If the answer to either of the above questions is no, would anyone be willing to mentor me through the process of writing a device driver, or point me in the direction of a project that might be able to help? Thanks for reading!
