devi-carrol

Carrol Touch input manager for Photon

Syntax:

devi-carrol [general_opts] 
            protocol* [protocol_opts]*
            device* [device_opts]*
            filter* [filter_opts]*

Options:


Note: When you use a devi- * driver, you need a calibration file. The calibration file is generated from the output produced by the calib utility:
calib > calib_file.txt

For more information, see the calib utility in the Utilities Reference, and Touchscreens in the Neutrino User's Guide.


General options:

-b
Prevent the use of the Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Backspace keychord to exit Photon (permitted by default).
-d device
Device (default: /dev/photon or $PHOTON).
-G
A graphics driver isn't requires when starting a touchscreen driver. This option is useful when you're debugging.
-g input_group
Input group (default: 1).
-l
List the internal modules. Modules are listed in the following format where class is one of: D -- Device, P -- Protocol, or F -- Filter:
    module name | date compiled | class
    
-t msecs
The throttle factor, in milliseconds (default: 0).
-v[v]...
Verbose output. More v characters cause more verbosity.

The protocol and protocol_opts are:

smartframe [smartframe_opts] [fd fd_opts]|[uart uart_opts]
fit [fit_opts] [fd fd_opts]|[uart uart_opts]

The protocol modules and their options are:

The device modules and their options are:

The filter modules and their options are:

Description:

The devi-carrol command starts the Carrol Touch input manager for Photon.

Examples:

Connect the smartframe controller to the first serial port, and use the serial manager to get input data. Touching the screen emulates a right mouse button press:

devi-carrol smartframe fd -d/dev/ser1 abs -b

Connect the fit controller to first serial port. No serial driver is running, so use the uart module to talk to the device directly:

devi-carrol fit uart
