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. .hc The arc of history bends towards justice. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Wacom tablet support on MacOSX
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. /Mikael On 3 Apr 2008, at 22:17, Thomas Grill wrote: Am 03.04.2008 um 22:59 schrieb Hans-Christoph Steiner: No, someone would have to write an object to the Wacom API since they decided not use the HID API.

Re: [PD] Wacom tablet support on MacOSX
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.
