## Setup
|
|
|
|
|
I had a Raspberry Pi, an old videoprojector and a Wacom tablet lying around and
|
|
|
|
|
search for something cool to do with them. So, I decided to make an interactive
|
|
|
|
|
blackboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The base code is minimalist for now, but I will develop it in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, basically, you just have to connect the Wacom tablet and the videoprojector
|
|
|
|
|
to the Raspberry Pi and launch the script.

## Detailed configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have an Arch Linux ARM up to date on my Raspberry Pi (important to have the
|
|
|
|
|
modules for wacom tablet, only available from version 3.10.27-1 of
|
|
|
|
|
`linux-raspberrypi` package). The wacom tablet should be detected automatically
|
|
|
|
|
by the kernel and be usable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The picoprojector is connected to the Raspberry Pi _via_ composite AV cable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't want to have a full desktop environment running on my Raspberry Pi, so
|
|
|
|
|
I just installed the X server, and set up a xinitrc in my user home dir to
|
|
|
|
|
automatically launch this python script at startup. I also set up an automatic
|
|
|
|
|
login using (this
|
|
|
|
|
page)[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/automatic_login_to_virtual_console].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I still have to find a correct configuration for the Wacom tablet. Especially
|
|
|
|
|
to be able to use the eraser and the menu in the app.

tell me if you do anything cool :). It would just be nice to quote where the
