Our project is planning to purchase a tablet and pressure sensitive stylus,
which we plan to connect to NeWS as a device. Has anyone out there done this
sort of thing before?
The stylus connects to an RS232 port, and I was planning to run a daemon that
read this port and did 'sendevent's into the NeWS system. Is this a reasonable
idea or do you think there would be timing problems?
Any help in this regard would be appreciated,
