Hi, I wanted to install your tool because I bought the Lamy pen. So I first SSH into the device and then (without making a folder) run the command from Github. There is nothing else in the description. Therefore, I assume that I am done. The problem is unfortunately that the eraser does not work. I also restarted the device and the button does not work. I am on Version 2.14.1.866

I've just installed that on my RM2 and I love it however... it seems to be breaking my gestures.

After restart it works for some time but after couple of clicks with Lamy pen gesture stops working in any document (PDF/Notebook) .

This is the only hack I installed so there is no other 3rd party software on my RM2

Good news, this can be fixed.

First, find the open document: Finding the open document can be done by getting the PID of xochitl (ie. w/ ps | grep xochitl) and then finding a *.lock file in /proc//fd (ie. w/ ls -l /proc/<PID>/fd | grep .lock) This .lock will start with a UUID (or atleast I think its a UUID) that looks something like 3ea1680e-2003-4581-80f5-e2afab4850b5.

Then, find the orientation of that document: The orientation of a document "3ea1680e-2003-4581-80f5-e2afab4850b5" can be found in here: ~/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/3ea1680e-2003-4581-80f5-e2afab4850b5.content

ie, running cat ~/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/3ea1680e-2003-4581-80f5-e2afab4850b5.content | grep orientation returns "orientation": "portrait", or "orientation": "landscape",

I just have to figure out how to implement these in C instead of as shell commands, and then make some functions like getOpenDoc() and getOrientation() that can be called every time the undo action is performed, to determine which specific undo sequence needs to be performed.

I still need to work out how to tell what orientation the tablet is in. I'm sure there's a file somewhere that can be checked for whether the tablet is in right-hand or left-hand orientation.

Is this project potentially compatible with other pens that have one button and use Wacom EMR? e.g. https://www.staedtler.com/intl/en/products/pencils-and-accessories/stylus/noris-digital-jumbo-180j-22-stylus-pencil-180j-22-1/

How this will be implemented:

1. Detect a double press of the button by watching the BTN_STYLUS events.
2. On a double press, write events that do this: Tap the screen where the undo button is Tap the screen where the panel button is Tap the screen where the undo button is Tap the screen where the panel button is

We do the commands in that specific order so that it doesn't matter if the tool panel is out, the undo button will be pressed exactly once and the panel will be returned to its starting state.

Writing the tap events should be easy, but some testing will be needed to see if pen events should be used at /dev/input/event1 or touchscreen events at /dev/input/event2. In either case, I think something will have to be done to prevent any data being written while the above events are written. Otherwise, conflicting data about the location of the touch (most likely from your palm being on the screen) or the location of the pen (from the pen hovering over the screen) will get in the way of the above commands.

Using ioctl and EVGIOC might help help that, but I think those are more for capturing the input generated by the kernel, and not for blocking the input events made by the kernel.

There is also the question of how quickly the above events can be written. The limiting factor will probably be how quickly the tool panel can open and close.

removed superfluous "chmod +x"

"chmod +x" is not really neccessary for this one-liner. The installer can be run just by using it as parameter to "sh"

Not really sure why, but in any case, I've noticed that lifting your hand off the screen and then placing it again will eventually make the double press to undo work. There might be a better way of writing the touch events in writeTapWithTouch to make the reMarkable handle the touch events better.

hello, this is a request not a proper issue. If it's possible it would be amazing if in the personalization options there was the possibility to choose (in toggle or in press) the possibility to use the lasso tool in order to select text without have to open the controls panel.

Thank you for your work!

During the installation, when running ./LamyInstall.sh, there is an option to edit the configuration:

Would you like to edit your configuration now? [y/n]

But this fails with the error message Error opening terminal: xterm-new.

This is exactly the same error message I get when I try to run the command directly:

reMarkable: cd /lib/systemd/system/
reMarkable: nano LamyEraser.service
Error opening terminal: xterm-new.

Thought you should know. :-)

Hey @isaacwisdom!

Thanks for such a simple way to add this functionality. This is the sort of thing I would've paid for so I wonder if you have a donation link or perhaps a charity you'd like me to donate $10 to.

Thanks for your project! I like the way you implement customization in v2-dev branch. However, it doesn't work on my RM2 (2.9.1.217). Looking forward to the next update!

Hello,

thanks for your resource. But when I put in the install code on SSH command board, it says "wget: note: TLS certificate validation not implemented". I don't know how to solve this question

Hey Isaac,

I know it's a bit out of scope for the project, but it seems like you just about have support for this. The new Kindle Scribe pen has both an eraser and an eraser button, it would be amazing if the eraser button could switch to the highlighter while held (or toggle on press). Do you think this would be possible?

RM1 code is working, although somewhat buggy. To finish implementation, I need someone with an RM1 to grab the screen locations for the buttons on the RM1. I've written a program that will do this, and I have a pdf that will show you where to press. leave a comment if this is something you're interested in helping out with
