Hacking my ReMarkable tablet into a live presentation tool
- rektide 5y agoAwesome project. Lovely to see something like this come together so quickly! The core architecture is to ssh in to the machine, and forward Linux /dev/input* events to a python app that re-emits websocket events. This makes me think a little bit of netevent[1], which is a small utility for forwarding/cloning input events (by creating a virtual uhid device that re-creates an input stream), usually used with ssh to forward between machines. It would allow for the remarkable to act as just another generic input for a presentation laptop, for example. One might be able to then use Gromit-MPX[2] or DrawOnYourScreen to turn that forwarded input into on-screen drawing. Todo: figure out if either of these apps can listen to a dedicated input device & ignore others, such that one can present as usual, but draw atop with the tablet.
