no, i just took the fingerworks.app humblehacker patched with your changes and dropped it into my applications dir. when running the app, it never actually loads.

unless i am mistaken, the instructions you posted require that i already have the fingerworks app installed.

i don't have the original app installed but i have the one that humblehacker posted (which should have already included your changes). should i just run your script/instructions over it?

alternatively, maybe you can just post your patched and working app so that all i have to do in drop it in my app folder and it works.

thoughts?

Here's a link to my finger works app https://119labs-us.s3.amazonaws.com/blog-files%2FFingerWorks.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=1WH6H3JANFZSYAJXG5G2&Expires=1355028783&Signature=2WlXglljmTu8Rj0PApzgLfjax10%3D

I'm not sure how well the above app will work in a different environment, but you're welcome to try. I still think you're best bet is to download the original app http://fingerfans.dreamhosters.com/download/file.php?id=27 and then follow the instructions. Good luck!

interesting... the app you posed doesnt work on my machine. i'll try your instructions with the original app and let you know how it goes :)

Dan, I got it to work. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but after a second try, I was able to download your above link from s3 and get the app to run by running the mtu script that was included. Thank you a ton :)

Although I can view all the gestures in the my gesture editor and run the diagnostics successfully, the mtu script is returning this output:

usb.macosx.USBException: control read error -- [0x1ffffd13] [0x1ffffd13]

Which I think is preventing me from uploading new gestures or writing information to the device.

I am trying to see if I can get it working based on your instructions about jusb.

Been trying all day without any luck. Hopefully you can steer my into the right direction.

I think the error you're getting is because you're using a version of jUsb compiled on my system. There are probably some linked libraries that aren't the same. With my version in the application folder, can you try the steps from the blog posting? If that doesn't work, run the steps one at a time from build_source.sh. Send the output of any errors and the make command to my email address: d a n at 1 1 9 l a b s . c o m without the spaces and swap the at for @

Here I can also run the diag, but it seems to fail to kick the keyboard into DFU mode...
I'm running Mountain Lion BTW...
Oh also, the jusb repository is now empty somehow, I had to dig around the latest CVS head to build

I've used this info and Platypus to create an application you can just drop in your Applications directory.

Fingerworks MultiTouch Utilities

sadly the link is broken could you reshare? I know its been almost 10 years now

@MDNich It has been a while since I've used that utility, let me see if I can find a copy somewhere 🤞

Aww thank you soo much (I don’t have PPC computer anymore to put the software on, and Rosetta won’t run JNI libs for PPC. My only thus alternative is either buy an old ppc computer or get the Linux version without Java, which I am most inclined to)

from Wikipedia on Rosetta 1:

cannot run the following:
