- CHANGES
- - 0.3 - Created based off of scanner & INSTALL from the original touchscreen
- driver on freecode (http://freecode.com/projects/3mtouchscreendriver)
- - Amended for linux-2.4.18, then 2.4.19
- - 0.5 - Complete rewrite using Linux Input in 2.6.3
- Unfortunately no calibration support at this time
- - 1.4 - Multiple changes to support the EXII 5000UC and house cleaning
- Changed reset from standard USB dev reset to vendor reset
- Changed data sent to host from compensated to raw coordinates
- Eliminated vendor/product module params
- Performed multiple successful tests with an EXII-5010UC
- SUPPORTED HARDWARE:
- All controllers have the Vendor: 0x0596 & Product: 0x0001
- Controller Description Part Number
- ------------------------------------------------------
- USB Capacitive - Pearl Case 14-205 (Discontinued)
- USB Capacitive - Black Case 14-124 (Discontinued)
- USB Capacitive - No Case 14-206 (Discontinued)
- USB Capacitive - Pearl Case EXII-5010UC
- USB Capacitive - Black Case EXII-5030UC
- USB Capacitive - No Case EXII-5050UC
- DRIVER NOTES:
- Installation is simple, you only need to add Linux Input, Linux USB, and the
- driver to the kernel. The driver can also be optionally built as a module.
- This driver appears to be one of possible 2 Linux USB Input Touchscreen
- drivers. Although 3M produces a binary only driver available for
- download, I persist in updating this driver since I would like to use the
- touchscreen for embedded apps using QTEmbedded, DirectFB, etc. So I feel the
- logical choice is to use Linux Input.
- Currently there is no way to calibrate the device via this driver. Even if
- the device could be calibrated, the driver pulls to raw coordinate data from
- the controller. This means calibration must be performed within the
- userspace.
- The controller screen resolution is now 0 to 16384 for both X and Y reporting
- the raw touch data. This is the same for the old and new capacitive USB
- controllers.
- Perhaps at some point an abstract function will be placed into evdev so
- generic functions like calibrations, resets, and vendor information can be
- requested from the userspace (And the drivers would handle the vendor specific
- tasks).
- TODO:
- Implement a control urb again to handle requests to and from the device
- such as calibration, etc once/if it becomes available.
- DISCLAIMER:
- I am not a MicroTouch/3M employee, nor have I ever been. 3M does not support
- this driver! If you want touch drivers only supported within X, please go to:

- THANKS:
- A huge thank you to 3M Touch Systems for the EXII-5010UC controllers for
- testing!
