@davidrevoy The Nordic chip is quite popular in the maker community. It is just the Bluetooth soft core that is closed. I did some analysis of the device and the firmware is not even locked and can be downloaded. A new one could be written too, but it is a lot of work to implement the HID stack over Bluetooth. So at the end I decided to write a user space remapping program that utilizes the same raw mode the original application provided by XP pen uses. https://github.com/MarSik/kymars-xppen-act05
@marsik Wow! That’s really cool and thank you for the info and sharing your code under GPL.
I tried to search Github prior making my article, but with the keyword ACK05 ; I see you use ACT05, do you think it is a slightly different device?
I’ll test and note to update my article and include your user space remapping software. 👍
@[email protected] I think I just messed up the name, mine is ACK05 as well. I will fix the description to appear in searches.
