Ask HN: Logging Mac Trackpad Data?
2 by desertraven | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi guys, I'm interested in learning more about trackpads, with a view to add one to an electronics project. Rather than buying a trackpad and hooking it up to an arduino to see if it meets requirements, I figured I'd use the Mac trackpad I already have. I really just want to see what the shape of the incoming data is, pipe it to a file, and process it later on (at least that's what I'll be doing in my electronics project). Is it possible to do this with a mac trackpad? Just log the incoming data (time-series coordinates I imagine), throw it in a file. Thanks!
