This project was created on 03/19/2017 and last updated a year ago.

Description

I wanted a wacom graphics tablet but theres no sponsorships out there for me so I will make somthing better for myself.

The Lightbrush Mouse is a hack to an existing mouse. It switches the middle button to left click and makes the mouse look more like an airbrush. Still without and SMT LED and plastic case my project prototype looks more like a swifty sweepyer thing.

Theres no pressure sensitivity but the mouse wheel can be set as a hotkey in GIMP maybe photoshop(I cannot afford nor Download trials/3.14rated stuff)

I want to have help writing a plugin for GIMP That lets us use MIDI controllers so I can customize my art electronics workbench. With Midi learn I want to be able to switch RGB with 3 knobs faders for opacity etc and the DJ controller from DJ Hero to output a MIDI signal I want to be able to spin the canvas with the DJ controller canvas rotation is a GIMP feature.

Currently Lacking a good 3D PEN. And I want Raspberry Pi.

I did get a turcom and it didnt even come with the right drivers... meh. In a future version this liteBrush needs the ability to rotate or calibrate the sensor chip. Also there was no sensitivity

  Are you sure? yes | no

lightBrush is a registered mark.... I tried to contact owner for sponsorship, collaboration and kickstarter. I hope hes a positive person. I can always change the name. LightPen MouseWrite or HPs lightscribe trademark for cd printing - liteBrush HID

  Are you sure? yes | no
