How-To
Usage
Start
TouchGloveService with command line parameter -DserialPort=/dev/xyz. xyz is the serial port device the TouchGlove is connected to.
Example: TouchGloveService -DserialPort=/dev/ttyS0
Attention: If the wrong port is given, strange things can happen. (e.g. if the mouse is connected to this port, the mouse will not work anymore)
Testing
Connect the TouchGlove hardware to the serial port. Afterwards, start the
TouchGloveService with the serial port command line parameter. With the DIVE service, you can view the events, which are sent out.
Configuration
There are additional two configuration possibilities:
- Command line parameter touchpadMode: This optional parameter is for specifing the touchpad mode. Please refer to my documentation for details.
- Touchpad resolution: The resolution of the touchpad (min/max x/y coordinates) is stored in the four attributes RangeMinX, RangeMinY, RangeMaxX and RangeMaxY in the TouchGloveService.xml. Depending on the touchpad used, the attribute values have to be modified.
