Hi  
I would like to be able to draw diagrams on the whiteboard in order to answer adhoc questions.
However, using a mouse for this results in pretty unacceptable results.
Are their any drawing (hardware) tools that can be used with BBB to produce more accurate drawings.
I'm thinking of wacom graphics pads etc but read an earlier email about 'flash' being an issue with this.

Any other suggestion or tips would be greatly received.

Thanks

Hi Charlie,

Any of the pen and tablets (such as bamboo) will do nicely.  They all let you move the mouse around with a pen, so there use of a pen and tablet is invisible to Flash (and to BigBlueButton).


Regards,... Fred

Just as a suggestion to you, monoprice (monoprice.com) sells some pretty slick writing tablets at a fraction of the cost of the wacom tablets.

Hi Fred

I thought that should be the case but an email I read seemed to cast doubt on
that. Good news then.

Thanks for your reply.

Regards

Charlie

Hi nekapoor

Thanks for your reply.
How are they with Linux support?
Linux support is the main reason I'm looking at wacom.
