It's then just a matter of decoding the "event packets" into a set of usable coordinates. No guaranteeing I have that final bit completely correct, as each Kobo device does it different...
This works especially well in USBMS mode (so long as you can keep the touch screen awake), as there are no on-screen Nickel controls to interfere with.
If you folk are happy with alpha level software, I'll upload what I have to Github. Beware, the USBMS stuff is a hot mess of C, mixed with Go (using cgo), and a few calls to external programs for good measure. It ain't pretty, but sorta seems to work. I welcome any help in refining it.
