DigiPos 15" touch screen, how to get this up and running in LCNC

Have one old 15" DigiPos touch screen that I would like to get working. Sorry I do not have model number as it is partly dismantled.

Out from display comes a cable with VGA + RS232 + PS2 connector. VGA part is working OK with 1024x768 resolution.

Any tips on how to go about to set it up? I assume RS232 is for touch but what could PS2 be for?

Hints, tips and how to's is most welcome.

Cheers

It must be old!

I suspect that the PS2 connector should plug into a PS2 mouse connector on the PC. Any I've used have a USB connector for the touch overlay as they basically act as a mouse once configured.

It certainly is!

Used with my router/mach3 8-10 years ago and it was old at that time already, but as a horder I tend to save things that works.

So assuming PS2 is for touch what can the RS232 be used for?

How can I test and see if I get any reaction from the touch via PS2?

I had a quick google. the PS2 could be an alternative interface to the DB9 for touch. It is slightly possible that the PS2 is for a barcode scanner. But sorry no drivers appeared. It might be possible to resurrect it with a touch screen overlay.

Barcode scanner is not possible as there is none. The cable out from display is with all 3 -in-1 cable and splits at PC-end.

So how to try resurrecting with *touch screen overlay* using Gmoccapy?

Does your PC have a PS2 port that you can try plugging the cable in to?

The serial connection will certainly need a driver.
A google search for "DigiPos" drivers took me to the Elo site, and they do seem to include drivers for serial interface screens.

What driver package to try?

Actually, it might be easier than I thought.

OK, will try that route as the wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Debian_Wheezy link did not work at all.

Thanks Andy

No go as something is missing I think.
