Boogie Board Cursor Driver

Installation/Compilation

To compile this driver you will need to have the X11 lib installed.

You also must have the XTest lib installed which for Debian/Ubuntu can be installed with the below command:

sudo apt-get install libxtst.dev

Compile with make

Running

After compiling the program, you only need to run it with

sudo ./bbcursordriver

The program automatically detects the presence of a boogie board rip to read from.

You can now control your cursor with the precision of a pen! Enjoy. The orientation to place the boogie board for it to match with your screen is with the plug/cord facing up.

Something to note:

The driver will manage to function with any screen resolution, but results may vary. With a square display or perhaps one that is being used in portrait mode, you will find that moving the pen to the left/right will be much more drastic a movement than up/down. These differences will likely be irrelevant due to the feedback you'll be recieving from watching your cursor move on the screen.
