Teensyduino is used for serial-usb conversion of the tablet. (RedFathom)

The tablet uses a teensyduino 2.0 loaded with the waxbee script. it's just wired between D1&D2 on the teensy and 9-Rxd&10-Txd on the tablet. of course gnd-gnd vcc-vcc. i'll have to post my configuration file probably. you can find everything you need on the bongofish website it's where i found most of the info to do this. you'll probably have to take the tape off the cable since the colors vary.

Model : HP TC4400 tablet

May 1, 2014:
Ordered LVDS controller (gm5621) off ebay.
Ordered teensy (2.0 without pin) off www.pjrc.com/store/teensy.html

Studied bongofish website, corresponding WACOM model# :  SU-025-C02
there are 2 types for the pins, 10 or 14 pins.

For 14 pins, identify gnd(P1 or P2), vcc(P13), usb data+(P4), usb data -(P3).
For 10 pins, identify gnd(P6), vcc(P1), rxd tab->host @19200baud (P2), txd tab<-host (P3)
**txd description is different in bongofish website, but i believe this is the correct way.
