remarkable_mouse
Use your reMarkable as a graphics tablet.
Special thanks to canselcik and LinusCDE for inspiration.
Quick Start
On the host machine with the tablet plugged in via USB:
pip install remarkable-mouse
remouseBy default, 10.11.99.1 is used as the address. Find your password in the reMarkable's settings menu. If you are on Linux using X11, you can use the --evdev option for pressure support.
To use the --region flag, you may need to install the python3-tk or python3-tkinter package with your package manager.
Examples
specify monitor, orientation, password
remouse --orientation right --mode fit --monitor 1 --password foobarpasswordless login
ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/remarkable -N ''
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/remarkable.pub [email protected]
remouserunning with pressure sensitivity (Linux only)
sudo --preserve-env=USER,PATH env remouse --evdevUsage
usage: remouse [-h] [--debug] [--key PATH] [--password PASSWORD] [--address ADDRESS] [--mode {fit,fill,stretch}] [--orientation {top,left,right,bottom}] [--monitor NUM] [--region] [--threshold THRESH]
[--evdev]
use reMarkable tablet as a mouse input
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug enable debug messages
--key PATH ssh private key
--password PASSWORD ssh password
--address ADDRESS device address
--mode {fit,fill,stretch}
Scale setting. Fit (default): take up the entire tablet, but not necessarily the entire monitor. Fill: take up the entire monitor, but not necessarily the entire tablet. Stretch:
take up both the entire tablet and monitor, but don't maintain aspect ratio.
--orientation {top,left,right,bottom}
position of tablet buttons
--monitor NUM monitor to output to
--region Use a GUI to position the output area. Overrides --monitor
--threshold THRESH stylus pressure threshold (default 600)
--evdev use evdev to support pen pressure (requires root, Linux only)
