Wacom tablets

[Dar Scott]

It seems that an NDA was involved and some private info about the protocols for the custom USB collections.  Maybe there was a DDK or SDK involved.  I saw some example code.  I chatted with an engineer an lot.  Arg.  My brain is worthless.  This was 6 or 7 years ago.  

You might want to send an email query or see if you know someone before you give up.

Besides a semi-official statement in a forum saying that developing your own gestures is impossible, I can't find any info about a C++ SDK, which would be very helpful.

At some level, the data is available, but you might need to tinker with interpretation.  I'm not sure what I did with the drawing interface, if anything.  I think I was interested in statistics at the time.  And getting the mouse resolution in general.
