I recently bought this touchscreen:

http://www.pollin.de/shop/detail.php?pg=NQ==&a=OTE5OTkzOTk=

and while it is not HID compatible, I fortunately wrote a driver for it some years ago (without actually having the hardware) that works with it (and I've added some more options like mirror/rotate, simple calibration and right mouse button emulation to it yesterday).

Some people might consider using it with the EFIKA for some car or living room application :) Well, I'm definately considering it

I was thinking to buy exactly the same screen 3 days ago. Now its good to know that drivers are already available.

Efika with touchscreen, which is usable under MorphOS? "Imagine the possibilities" :)

Start, spreading, the news...

Efika + touchscreen + Hollywood =

Very nice! What an cheap motherboard for museums, shoppingcenters etc


MorphOS with Hollywood and maybe even with the Malibu plugin aswell,...

Or have it in the Kitchen or Living Room for the best music experience ;) Anr4 could get a Skin thingy which covered the whole screen etc.

Thanks for this! And all best goes to you who made this possible!

Finally, a consumer product built on Efika! Roll on those 100000 unit orders to Genesi, make BIG bucks , spend them to develop Pegasos III, start world domination plan...

nice touchscreen

idea: edit screen mode 640x400 + (autoscroll) scroll automacally size 800x600 =

btw. morphos 0.4 and 1.4.5 intuition problem with scroll automatically vertical "not act"

You are a MegaHero!

Hats off to platon42... I hope everybody has registered Poseidon 3.x for MorphOS, because he deserves it...

Kind regards,
Andrea

Here Goes my hat...
Mr Hodges, made this touchscreen driver without even having
the hardware? Cool.

I registered my poseidon stack, and now could not live without it !!

This brings interesting new uses for Efika board.

It seems morphos comunity is bursting with activity.

> I hope everybody has registered Poseidon 3.x for MorphOS, because he deserves it...

You wouldn't want to know

@magnetic:

> You are a MegaHero!

And you are a pirate. You didn't pay a single cent for your keyfile and yet you decided to spread it. Well, thank you.

Chris

You must be crazy. I would never do such a thing. You were nice enough to give me the key. I would not do that. On my life.

If anything I have encouraged users to register and I also beta tested the USB 2 driver for Nico.. Come on man....

Thomas

ps I would have appreciated it if you had mailed me private instead of a false accusation on line

Does this work with the "egalaxtouch.class"? Does it seem usable as a tablet for painting purposes?


[ Edited by realstar on 2007/5/24 16:30 ]

i have registered and paid, but can?t use the newest version of poseidon

thanks anyway for this great usb-stack

> Does this work with the "egalaxtouch.class"?

Yes, only with the last public version, it has X axis and Y axis swapped. Hence the new rotation modes.

> Does it seem usable as a tablet for painting purposes?

Uhm, I'd probably would use it for that purpose. It has no pressure levels and the cursor only moves while you touch the screen.

Then, it's a pity and it's shameful for the whole MorphOS community. I
mean, not registering a very good piece of software that is
distributed almost uncrippled to start with... Nobody should be
surprised if one day these programmers will find a better/less
expensive hobby. Because I guess that Chris spent quite a lot in USB
HW, and giving something back with a small registration fee is just
fair...

Kind regards,
Andrea

Word.

Chris deserves every reg he gets, and then some. I registered it again when I got a newer Pegasos, Chris said I didn't have to but it could have run on more than one machine at once so I paid out just in case

Everyone here should do the same.

And, with regards to his 'not officially bluetooth' stack, what is the status on that? Can it come out to play and just be called 'not officially bluetooth' even tho it would probably knock our socks off?

Platon's a genius, having used the USB in MOS a lot, I'll admit to being a fanboi

Quote:

Haven't touched the code for 10 months now. And there's actually some more stuff on my list for USB (such as WLAN, Audio, etc.). But then again, spending more than five years on USB stuff is a lot of time. I'd rather do something completely different.

OT
Maybe we can arrange a bounty to find some/all the money necessary to acquire the "Bluetooth" certification.
What do u think?
/OT

I think that's wasted money that should better be spent on other talented programmers with more useful applications.

Now, if somebody could just stop the rain, I could go to work...

Ouch! That HURTS!

Is your intention to keep your work for yourself, or is there some hope that you release it to public? I'd like to know how much useful your "Blewtooth" stack is now. What kind of things can be done with it?

It is in a very prototypic state. It's got a good HCI layer, an ACL layer, a basic L2CAP layer. A Service Discovery Profile (SDP) client. AVDTP protocol implementation, some bits of A2DP (enough to hear some MP3 on my headphone), started with RFCOMM. No GUI, not modulized (i.e. no separate classes or library files), no control. Most of the output is done via kprintf() debug.

You can plug in a USB Bluetooth dongle, start an inquiry for discoverable devices, resolve their names, features, etc., pair them, connect them on ACL level, open L2CAP communication channels, query their profiles and protocols. As said, using A2DP or RFCOMM is not really completed.

Ah yes, the stack is very cleverly optimized, needing very few memory copying operations, sometimes even zero copy between the lots of layers the data is moved through. It's highly asynchroneous, meaning that there's no messy blocking or waiting like in dead-stupid stacks like the Linux BlueZ.

In conclusion, it's >460 KB of worthless source code, gathered in steps of a few weeks with gaps of 12 months over the last two years.

No, I don't see sense in releasing it into public -- I doubt anyone would have the know-how to continue it. There are *very* few Bluetooth experts out there, and the probability that these would care for AmigaOS/MorphOS is 2^-65535.

Maybe at some point, I can turn this into some profitable commercial project on a non-Amiga system. Or, I will indeed finish some "light version" of this for AmigaOS/MorphOS. But my guess is: not this year.
