I'm thinking may be a better bet is to have a mouse like generic USB gadget built. Then you would connect the resistive or capacitive panel to it, and it would convert the signals to standard mouse signals.
Usually the real trick is the multi-touch events and proper screen calibration with X. Having a generic USB gadget for this would be fantastic ...
EOMA doesn't have the touch pins brought out, so having such a modular unit could benefit EOMAs and other similar boards.
Agreed ..
Hmm.. it would need a switch to switch between normal mouse mode operation and multi-touch operation. The multi-touch operation would need a modified mouse driver I'm guessing. In the normal mouse position, there is no need for this extra driver, but in multi-touch position, the USB device would have to re-register as some other device so that driver can switch to multi-touch operation.
Sounds doable :)
That is two projects needing doing - generic switch mode power supply and generic touch to mouse converter.
