@sdrman: Thanks! That's really good info. I see you've put more than 3000 for the DELTA values. That's very nice accuracy Looks like I can start saving up for an N810 now. I didn't notice TRANSLATE_RAW_COORDS in the wiki howto before. Strange... I guess I owe yabbas an apology. Sorry, yabbas.

@tigert: Interesting, thanks.


Cheers,

No probs tjay g'luck with your plans.

Just caught this thread searching on "paint." It occured to me that the NITs could make excellent little sketch pads with their palmable size, handy stylus and hi-rez screens.

Full pressure sensitivity would be amazing, but I'd settle for higher virtual-rez and quick n' easy color mixers/palettes.

i thinks i remember some one porting gimp to n800 a while ago... pressure sensing would be sweet

You know, I did some calculations on the X-axis values in sdrman's touchlog.txt, and IIRC, it seems that there's only really about 3 points per pixel of touchscreen resolution. Some pixels have 2 and some have 4. I didn't do any calculations on the Y-axis values though. Seems low when compared to the RAW_DELTA_* values, which _I thought_ were a hint to the accuracy of the device. Perhaps there's a setting to increase sampling resolution etc somewhere. Still, it's better than Windows Mobile devices, which have 2 points per pixels in the X and Y directions, in the API at least.

sdrman says that the pressure data isn't consistent across the screen, so I suppose it won't be good enough for drawing. GIMP will need a different UI to work well on the tablets

Anyway, still haven't got my hands on an N800. I live in Malaysia and the device isn't actually available here. Plus I've never seen anyone walking around with one either. Sigh...
