The API used for the cloud service is quite simple. There are already two projects on github implementing it (one by me) - search for remarkable-tablet to find them.
The tablet also works fine without using the cloud service, it has a built-in webserver to upload documents to it that you can just access via WiFi or USB-LAN.
Really this device is a hacker's dream in terms of openness. The only last thing I'd wish for was open sourcing the main software application running on it.
- masukomi 9y agois there any way to tell it to use your cloud service instead of theirs ? In other words, what good is a custom reimplementation of it if you can't make it point at them without dns hacking?
- lima 9y agoYes, you can SSH into the device and change a config file. This is a hacker's dream indeed.
- vanderZwan 9y agoHow fast is the data transfer? Do you think one could hack it into a "screen" by streaming a black-and-white image data from a computer to it? So the connected computer would do all the heavy lifting related to rendering, compress the result to something that is really easy to decompress, send it over, and tablet would just decompress a bitmap and blit it to the screen?
- lima 9y agoHaven't tried, but you're either limited by USB2.0 or the wifi chip. Given the low refresh rate of the panel, something like that should work just fine. Pretty sure I saw a YouTube video by someone who hacked it together using periodic screenshots.
