This adds touchpad functionality, so it is possible to make relative mouse movements with fingers on the touchscreen while it is still possible to use the stylus for absolute mouse movement.

this is more like a quick hack, so there are probably many possiblitys for improvements.

When doing slow movements, the mouse seems to stutter a bit (fine when moving faster). Have not looked into what is causing that...

Use your reMarkable as a graphics tablet.

Special thanks to canselcik and LinusCDE for inspiration.

Quick Start

On the host machine with the tablet plugged in via USB:

pip install remarkable-mouse
remouse

By default, 10.11.99.1 is used as the address. Seems to work pretty well wirelessly, too. By default ssh-agent is used to authenticate if it is available, otherwise you are asked for your password.

Examples

specify address, monitor, orientation, password

remouse --address 192.168.1.1 --orientation right --mode fit --monitor 1 --password foobar

passwordless login

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/remarkable -N ''
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/remarkable.pub root@10.11.99.1
remouse --key ~/.ssh/remarkable

Usage

usage: remouse [-h] [--debug] [--key PATH] [--password PASSWORD]
              [--address ADDRESS] [--mode {fit,fill}]
              [--orientation {top,left,right,bottom}] [--monitor NUM]
              [--threshold THRESH] [--evdev]

use reMarkable tablet as a mouse input

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debug               enable debug messages
  --key PATH            ssh private key
  --password PASSWORD   ssh password
  --address ADDRESS     device address
  --mode {fit,fill}     scale setting
  --orientation {top,left,right,bottom}
                        position of tablet buttons
  --monitor NUM         monitor to output to
  --threshold THRESH    stylus pressure threshold (default 600)
  --evdev               use evdev to support pen pressure (requires root,
                        Linux only)
