Funny you should bring this video up, the one I recorded after Randy's request if very much consistent!

Actually, the flashing and pulsating I see - even huge areas on the screen (not recorded, the right half of the inner firefox space in the "pytorch" page before I enlarged it: a huge rectangle with a sort of static noise effect) - is also on static situations.
(EDIT →) Although I could not make it evident it in the video I am about to upload.

So here is a video demonstration of the patched Monitor software in a (simulated) real world session ("coding & computing" area).

https://youtu.be/idjhuxzjD5Q



The published description:

Quote:
A demonstration of the Onyx Boox Max2 as a monitor connected through HDMI to a Linux desktop; new custom features for the monitor software are demonstrated (screen refresh on tap, change rendering mode on tap) which Onyx is encouraged to implement in the mainstream code.

This demonstration runs first a facilitator for pytorch code experimentation, then interacts with a console and a graph representing in real time the evolving model of an artificial neural network approximating a chunk of a sine function.

The taps on the screen are meant to, when appropriate, force a "full screen refresh" (removes ghosting and perfects rendering), or switch the electrophoretic mode to "fast/A2", so the interaction with the desktop elements is faster, or switch to "normal" EPD mode, to get a full quality rendering.
BTW: I kept the audio, so the feedback and the activity are more clear.

Some preliminary searching suggests that with an appropriate cable, charging + data transfer via USB may be doable in some cases:

On a related note, I've been connecting the Max 2 via an external power source -- I guess you've been finding that a connection to a PC's USB port has provided sufficient power. Is that correct?

We probably need much less than OTG, sending a few packets is sufficient. Maybe just MTP is enough - which should be the default USB mode as you connect the cable.

Probably more like: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...er-and-capture

Powering the tablet is not a problem, you can do it through the same PC providing the desktop. (And with "Normal" EPD mode, and if you do not have those glitches that update part of the screen every heartbit, you may not even need to power it during operation: the device would discharge much slower.)

Or, more in general (besides MTP): we have a USB cable from tablet to desktop computer; with a way to send data from Android code on the tablet and receive them on the desktop computer, the rest should be easy.

EDIT: maybe even and "inverse ADB" (tablet to computer) would be fine...

EDIT2: because normally, the tablet should be recognized as a HID - Human Interface Device - by the personal computer - exactly like a keyboard or mouse, this time providing clicks and coordinates (so like a touchpad). BUT, this is a work for Onyx, we cannot do that here...

The funny thing is that it can already be done, but it's a hack...
In that modified APK I published, I forgot to remove one line where I log the taps.
It is sufficient (but not a full or clean job) to retrieve those lines through a `logcat` stream in some software on the desktop and act accordingly...

I would prefer to send packets to the adb server on the computer. It is not clear to me at the moment how to do it without any hassle to the user: the adb server creates a network on the localhost, I am not user how to access it from the Android device:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:59294 127.0.0.1:5037 ESTABLISHED 4716/adb

At least on *NIX, perhaps some of the following pieces might help complete the hack:

https://gist.github.com/scottgwald/6862517
http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool
https://github.com/rshk/python-libxdo
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-module-script

Possibly better alternative to xdotool:

I did not know about `xdotool` !
with this, and adb, creating a software to make the Onyx HDMI Monitor work like an input device is as easy as a script (although it remains a hack )

(Can't give you karma, because of phpbb policy - cannot thank you twice in a row.)

I used the following to get the pointer location to change:

https://gist.github.com/scottgwald/6862517
https://github.com/PyUserInput/PyUserInput

Granted, this is only for the bottom-right-most corner area...something is not quite right with the coordinates though.

Indentation doesn't appear to be maintained, so I'm editing the script out and I'll try to attach it instead.

Second time's the charm...

It should work with python2.

But you can use the shell directly:

` adb logcat MyApp:W *:S `

and

` xdotool mousemove 123 456 ; xdotool click 1 `

I will do a working (supposedly ) proof of concept in the evening.
Also because I should modify again the Monitor software, to output more clever logs and also detect tap-down (not just tap-up).

EDIT: you have already done it?

The reason to try a non-xdotool route is simply that each invocation of xdotool is another process being run. May be this is just premature optimization

I didn't do the clicking part, but that's pretty easy to add.
