The top layer is the pad that you touch. Beneath it are layers (separated by very thin insulation) containing horizontal and vertical rows of electrodes that form a grid. Beneath these layers is a circuit board to which the electrode layers are connected. The layers with electrodes are charged with a constant alternating current (AC). As the finger approaches the electrode grid, the current is interrupted and the interruption is detected by the circuit board. The initial location where the finger touches the pad is registered so that subsequent finger movement will be related to that initial point.the touch screen works on an X and Y axis. to get the X position, the controller sets pin4 to +5 volts and pin2 to ground. pin1 is left unconnected. the controller uses pin3 to read the voltage whear the top layer meets the bottom layer.to get the Y position the controller sets pin1 to +5 volts and pin3 to ground. pin2 is left unconnected the controller uses pin4 to read the voltage whear the top layer meets the bottom layer. if you would like to know more about this subject or would like help converting you’r touch screen into a touchpad mouse please contact me at onionheadd12@yahoo.com

Does anyone know where to find the old PalmOS SDK (for Windows and/or Linux)?

This allowed me to access power using an external sleeve or cradle.

I was thinking for this project I could get a USB serial adaptor and make a little dock, taking the USB 5v and then supplying a regulated 3v to the cradle.
