remarkable_mouse

Use your reMarkable as a graphics tablet.

Special thanks to canselcik and LinusCDE for inspiration.

Quick Start

On the host machine

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 --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] [--orientation {vertical,left,right}]
           [--monitor NUM] [--threshold THRESHOLD] [--evdev]
