Is anybody using touchscreens with Rivendell? Does it work well? Are
there any economical touchscreens available these days? Is it really
worth the extra expense? How is the touchscreen connection handled?
They used to be via VGA and a serial port, but nothing has serial
ports anymore. Is it via HDMI and USB?
I confirm VGA/DVI/HDMI + USB for the touch feedback
I used to propose touch screens with rivendell installations, but most
of the time, it remained unused by people buying it. They prefer
keyboard and mouse which are less prone to false pointing.
Worse : a customer called me once complaining about rdairplay switching
to manual mode frequently, and mostly during weekends. After serarching
the logs and all, there was no clue of any bug or crash. Then I
remembered the type of touch screen they choose : it was an optical one
with laser beams coming from screen corners and reflecting on screen
sides. The good thing with them : they work when wearing gloves, so they
are widely found in military vehicles. The bad thing : even a fly can
trigger clicks...
I advised my customer to unplug USB from the screen and rdairplay never
switched to manual mode "by itself" !
Touch screens remain useful when using rdairplay daily with sound panel.
Cheers
