Issues Configuring Veikk A30 Tablet in Max/MSP
Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to set up my Veikk A30 graphics tablet in Max/MSP, but I’ve run into some issues. I initially attempted to use the hi object to detect input from the tablet, and while the Veikk A30 does appear in the device list, Max does not seem to register any input from it.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Checked if the tablet is detected by the OS (works fine).
Tried listing available HID devices using
hi, and the Veikk A30 does show up.Attempted to poll the tablet for data, but no input values are received.
Verified drivers and updated to the latest version.
Tested other HID-compatible devices, which send data correctly to
hi, but not the Veikk.
Has anyone successfully connected a Veikk tablet to Max/MSP? Are there any alternative methods to retrieve tablet input? Perhaps using serial or a custom external?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
If you use Max 9 maybe try hid external ?
I just tested it in Max 9 with the hid object, but it doesn't work. Here's a photo showing that it detects the tablet, but no data comes through. I also tried uninstalling the tablet drivers, but it still doesn't work. :(
does it work as mouse in max, without hi and hid ?
Problem could be permissions, or HID protocol which max
objects don't understand.
I tried disabling permissions so it wouldn't respond as a mouse, but still nothing. I also restarted my Mac while applying different accessibility and input monitoring permissions, but it didn’t work either. However, it does work in TouchDesigner using the Tablet object from the CHOP category. That’s the only alternative I can think of right now :(
