interesting... the app you posed doesnt work on my machine. i'll try your instructions with the original app and let you know how it goes :)

Dan, I got it to work. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but after a second try, I was able to download your above link from s3 and get the app to run by running the mtu script that was included. Thank you a ton :)

Although I can view all the gestures in the my gesture editor and run the diagnostics successfully, the mtu script is returning this output:

usb.macosx.USBException: control read error -- [0x1ffffd13] [0x1ffffd13]

Which I think is preventing me from uploading new gestures or writing information to the device.

I am trying to see if I can get it working based on your instructions about jusb.

Been trying all day without any luck. Hopefully you can steer my into the right direction.

I think the error you're getting is because you're using a version of jUsb compiled on my system. There are probably some linked libraries that aren't the same. With my version in the application folder, can you try the steps from the blog posting? If that doesn't work, run the steps one at a time from build_source.sh. Send the output of any errors and the make command to my email address: d a n at 1 1 9 l a b s . c o m without the spaces and swap the at for @

Email sent ;)

Here I can also run the diag, but it seems to fail to kick the keyboard into DFU mode...
I'm running Mountain Lion BTW...
Oh also, the jusb repository is now empty somehow, I had to dig around the latest CVS head to build

I've used this info and Platypus to create an application you can just drop in your Applications directory.

Fingerworks MultiTouch Utilities

sadly the link is broken could you reshare? I know its been almost 10 years now

@MDNich It has been a while since I've used that utility, let me see if I can find a copy somewhere 🤞

Aww thank you soo much (I don’t have PPC computer anymore to put the software on, and Rosetta won’t run JNI libs for PPC. My only thus alternative is either buy an old ppc computer or get the Linux version without Java, which I am most inclined to)

from Wikipedia on Rosetta 1:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)

cannot run the following:
…
Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI libraries that cannot be translated

I think this is the right file: https://119labs-us.s3.amazonaws.com/blog-files/FingerWorks.zip

Thx, but do you have the Linux no Java version? I have the Mac one:(

I do not 😞
