Touch Potentiometer Utility Program

The tputil application runs on a personal computer and allows you to experiment with or configure a Touch Potentiometer connected via a USB-serial interface. Either a dedicated interface such as a FTDI Break-out board or Arduino Leonardo running the "tp_test_sketch" may be used.

Caveats
  1. I develop on Mac OS X and only did a bit of testing on Windows 7/Wine and linux. It's possible there are issues on those two platforms. Let me know if you find something wrong. The more information you can provide, the better.
  2. Neither the Windows or Mac OS X version of the application are signed. You may have to click through a warning to run them (you may also have to reconfigure the security settings on OS X).
