Huion graphics tablet

Has anyone had any luck with Huion graphics tablets? Mine moves the cursor, but that’s all. No click on pen down, no buttons. I have both the Huion H610 Pro and HS64.

So far I have not even had success with a reasonably current wacom tablet.

Good day,

Well, seems Wacom is working now, at least my small Graphite A6, with pressure sensitivity.

Huion is a different issue. The Huion Giano W1409 that I have has a weird behavior. When using usb wire to connect it to the “Haikbox” it causes a KDL:

When using the wireless receiver, no KDL, the pointer moves across the screen though no click, as reported long ago in here as pointed out by @X512.

For now, it’s still useless as no click available. I’m shocked though that with the USB wire causes a KDL on connection.

I need to do more testing though, but already added the KDL to the ticket.

There are high chance that this can be easily fixed. HID report descriptor is needed for details.

UPDATE: This problem is reported in #14592.

Good day,

Looks like the Huion graphics tablet support has improved lately. My WH1409 has started to work since this friday, February 5th. First time I tried after the switch. I’ve already reported in bugtracker the issues, but for now, the Digitizer is usable with pressure sensitivity. I tried with Krita:

There are issues still though. I have to plug the digitizer before turning on the pc, as if I plug the digitizer when Haiku is running it causes a KDL crash. Already reported.

Anyway, it’s a great improvement, as now I can use the Huion digitizer on Haiku. Even the pen button responds to press, launching the right click menu. Good thing. I still have to test the digitizer’s buttons, though those are not that important atm.

Yes, I do know I need to improve my 书法, way too long without using a pen nor a pencil … :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the improvement. :star_struck: :star_struck:

My Huion H430P worked with pen pressure too in kirta
IDK about other tablets tho, because the H430P is more “supported” because it might use a more broad driver to get it working on android, where getting new drivers is basically impossible.

Good day,

The Huion digitizer also appears in the “input” preferences window now. Yes, 3 tablets, 3 mouses and 6 keyboards… I use both hands both feet and nose and ears to use all those devices :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

though appears as mouse… :thinking:

Ahhrgh!.. I would spend an hour staring at all this and wondering where is what.
I hope that you don’t need to unplug things so the order doesn’t change each time you boot…

That’s expected, the input preferences has no specific code for tablets yet.

It does a good job of exposing how our USB HID driver is not so great and publishes tons of devices instead of just a single one, too :stuck_out_tongue:

Good day,

Just as @PulkoMandy said, is due to USB driver… Damn, for a moment I thought it was the Keyboard, Mouse and Digitizer having inter-peripheral “coitus”, spawning offsprings :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh, and the digitizer stopped working… :grimacing: seems it works randomly…

Good day,

Finally, today I was able to do some Game assets with Krita using the Huion W1409 digitizer with pressure sensitivity and all that:

I had to plug the digitizer before turning on the PC, if plugged after Haiku was running I end up in KDL.

Now let’s make something in Godot with these assets… hopefully… :grinning:

Have you created bug report or some existing report exists?

Good day @X512,

There is already a bug report: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/14592#comment:27

I took a pic of the KDL but can’t upload it from Haiku as took it with the phone and my Haiku crashes if I try to transfer images from phone to the pc. I’ll do later from Linux.
As I said in the bug report, it’s a great improvement, as I can use the Digitizer plugged trhough USB cable which I can’t do on Fedora Silverblue. :wink:

RR

Is there a report about this?

Not sure about this. There is the Android File Transfer app, I presume is in Haikuports. I just tried once and crashed into KDL. In order to report this I should test again and report on Github. Certainly something I have to do, just have it delayed as other things got in the way… :pensive:

3rd party applications should not crash kernel if they don’t have kernel drivers. USB is available from userland so kernel driver is not needed.

Ok. It might not be KDL then. I’ll try again and take into account your insights to properly identify the issue and thus consecuently report it.
Thanks @X512.

Would be fine to get some tutorials developing with godot and using krita

Good day @lelldorin,

There is already a website specialized on this, GDQuest if I recall correctly. Krita seems to work fine on Haiku, Godot is still a WIP, getting better, but still hard to work with. Actually, today was the first time I used Krita, and had to read some docs (official Krita doc) as I was used to Gimp.

If you mean a Haiku specific tutorial, … mmmm… these apps actually seem to work the same on every platform. I use Godot having the official doc site open all the time, same with Blender and now with Krita too … :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The fact that I can use the digitizer (sometimes) is a plus here.

@X512, the crash picture is almos the same as the one I posted in the third post of this topic. KDL due to same exception:
