Thank you for your reply.
Has anyone successfully powered on the device remotely using an external device to manually touch the power button? I have been experimenting with an arduino connected to a relay and building a capacitance switch which should theoretically be able to simulate a human touching the power button. However, this screen is particularly hard to stimulate.
The device that I built reliably works to simulate a human touch on android and apple phones, and a dell computer. However, it does not work reliably on the TZtouch2.
Does anyone have information on the particular touch screen that was used in the TZtouch2? I would expect that it is only looking for a charge drop across the screen to determine is the screen has been touched. However, TZ2 seems to be particular about the quality of the actual contact with the screen. For example, holding a ball of crumpled foil to the screen will not work to activate the screen, but if the ball is smooth, it will activate the screen. Both should cause the same charge drop, but the TZ2 can distinguish between the two. How is the screen designed to be able to distinguish between them?
Does anyone know what the touch screen was particularly designed to respond to (besides the obvious answer of human contact)?
Thanks
