Use your reMarkable as a graphics tablet.

Special thanks to canselcik and LinusCDE for inspiration.

Quick Start

On the host machine

pip install remarkable-mouse
remouse

By default, 10.11.99.1 is used as the address. Seems to work pretty well wirelessly, too.

Examples

specify address, monitor, orientation, password

remouse --address 192.168.1.1 --orientation right --monitor 1 --password foobar

passwordless login

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/remarkable -N ''
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/remarkable.pub root@10.11.99.1
remouse --key ~/.ssh/remarkable
