Hello! I am having some weird behaviour with the full size skywriter. When I run the demo on the Raspberry Pi ( test.py ) x, y and z coordinates are not detected nor shown. Also taps, touches and double taps rarely get detected, and when they do, it reports a wrong location. (For example, tapping on …

Ahoy! Sorry for the delay. I’ve been swamped in all manner of things and haven’t had a moment to hook Skywriter up to a Pi and see what happens. The Pi library should work with the full-sized Skywriter, and your wiring must be fine or it’d simply clonk out and complain about not being able to commu…

After flashing the firmware you sent me, everything’s working perfectly. Thank you, @gadgetoid :3

Thank you! I wish more people would tag up as [SOLVED], it’s genuinely helpful for users and one of the things I need to dig through the forums and do.

Sorry, but I’ve the exact same problem. Could you help me as well? Thanks

so, that’s the only way to upload the hexdump to the MGC3130? okay. thanks. the code was still there, i need to setup a Pi for that, thanks for the help. i’ll update you, when i get there. probably tomorrow.

Aye, it’s the only way we can support currently. The normal upload process involves a Windows app and configurator which can’t talk directly to Skywriter at all.

I’ve successfully uploaded the hex-blocks. Restarted the Pi, and tested with test.py . The results are however different but the device is still not behaving right: Position info is coming only when my palm is almost touching the surface, Z coordinates are always 0. Touching/Tapping East, West and…

Thanks for trying! I think we’d better sort you out with a replacement since it’s still not working. Drop a mail to support, reference this thread and they should sort you out. Sorry :(
