The Boogie Boards from iMPROV Electronics are something like an electronic writing pad. They
mainly consist of a special LCD display that is pressure sensitive so that you can "write"
on the display as you would on a piece of paper.
The Boogie Board rip has in addition a USB port where the pen strokes are sent via a proprietary
HID report to the connected computer. So far there is only a Windows program to read the input
from the board. Therefore I decided to write a program for the Linux world that saves the pen
strokes either in SVG or Jarnal format.
I use this program already myself daily as I have my Boogie Board attached to my Debian (headless)
server and can write down a note and save it on the server whenever something comes to my mind.
You can see what these devices look like at http://www.improvelectronics.com . Btw. I am neither
a member of this company nor do I get paid by them. But of course I contacted them and got their
approval to publish an Open Source Software containing their interface definition.
Regards,
Joerg Richter
