kobo-color-inputdev/README.md

A small CLI program to use kobo libra color as a graphics tablet

Usage

Pipe the /dev/input/event1 from the device into the kobo-color-inputdev via stdin.

Eg:

ssh -p 2222 root@192.168.1.2 cat /dev/input/event1 | sudo ./build/kobo-color-inputdev 2>&1

This repo also includes an inputcat utility which grabs exclusive access to the input device preventing the device itself from reacting to your taps.

ssh -p 2222 root@192.168.1.2 cat /tmp/inputcat | sudo ./build/kobo-color-inputdev 2>&1

What does this do

The kobo color touchscreen driver doesn't emit input events correctly for pens, so this program rewrites them to function correctly and then uses /dev/uinput to create a userspace input device.

Why

idk, I thought it'd be neat to be able to use my kobo as a graphics tablet. Kobo unlock the bootloader so I can put pmos on pls
