Touchscreen update

It's been a very long time since I've posted any articles.  However I've been working slowly but consistently on my touchscreen.  I'll have some more info later, but here's a sneak preview:

New touchscreen, wood case, direct USB.

I know, terrible photo, but that's the best my phone cam can do.  It looks heaps better in real life.  

This is a straight USB device, connected directly to my PC, and with no need of an Arduino.  As far as the PC is concerned, it looks like a USB mouse, except that the coordinates are absolute, not relative.

There's a microcontroller inside the case: A Teensy 2.0 running LUFA.

More details to follow!

  1. Can you post all of the components you used in this project? I like it, and I may create one for my Linux Drivers class project.

  2. Hi Abdelhalim,

    I will be posting source code and instructions as soon as I can. It may not appear for several more weeks though.
