Fres Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Would a touch tablet work with a stelladaptor if the authors of Atari800winPLus added support for the stelladaptor? I was thinking that a touch tablet was read in the same way as the atari paddles. I don't have much use for the touch tablet any more, but it would bring back some memories.

noteit Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 No its not the same. Is this the power pad touch tablet? I have the source code for that some where for both Atari and C64. The code used a joystick port for the input, and it only used the joystick bits. It programed some of the bits as output, and some as input. It was only reading a bit at a time if I remember right, and used the other bits to strobe the pad, and a status bit for condition of the pad. The ibm does have some programable pins, so I think it might be possible to interface them, but doubt that this usb adapter would allow it, since the port must be set up with some pins as input and some as output. Also you would need special code on the ibm to process the results into x,y cordinates on the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesmooth Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Unfortunately, there is no touch tablet support in the Stelladaptor. It specifically looks for, and adjusts its data output, based on the standard Atari joystick, paddle, driving controller, or Track & Field pad.
