Enable / disable TUIO

Enable / disable TUIO

All DISPLAX products offer the end-users the option to activate the TUIO protocol, allowing them to enter the network values:

  • X coordinate
  • Y coordinate
  • Pressure Sensing (only for DISPLAX Skin Ultra)

To activate TUIO, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you are in the location of the DIPLAX Service installation
  2. Start TUIO server
  • DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMBER = Touch Controller serial number
  • IP_ADDRESS = The IP of the computer you wish to send the TUIO events to (localhost 127.0.0.1)
  • PORT = The port you want to use to send the TUIO events through (default 3333)
$ displaxservice.exe -d DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMER -tuio start IP_ADDRESS:PORT

Example:

$ displaxservice.exe -d 022101000141 --tuio start 127.0.0.1:3333

To disable TUIO, just enter “stop” instead of “start”

$ displaxservice.exe -d 022101000141 --tuio stop 127.0.0.1:3333

Important: TUIO should only be configured after all settings are correctly adjusted and geometric calibration has been performed. Do not perform the calibration with TUIO activated.
TUIO Limitations
  1. Windows: Once the board has been reset or unplugged, you should restart TUIO, otherwise TUIO events will stop being sent to the host. If you shut down or restart the computer, TUIO will automatically start again and there is no need to perform this step;
  2. Configuration: TUIO should be configured after concluding all Touch settings adjustment (Gain, Threshold, Calibration, etc);
  3. It is recommended to stop sending TUIO events before uninstalling DISPLAX Connect;
  4. If you have a limited Windows account, you should run TUIO as an administrator.
