Error when reading data from USB touch screen controller

[ZuLuuuuuu]

Hello, I am trying to get absolute coordinates from a USB touch screen controller. I am using Python evdev library. The problem is that when I start the program, and start touching the screen, it reads a few events for a while and then gives a "No such device" error and quits.

The lsusb output is:

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 011: ID 045e:07fd Microsoft Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The Python program is:

Code: Select all

import evdev
from evdev import InputDevice

devices = [evdev.InputDevice(fn) for fn in evdev.list_devices()]
for device in devices:
    print(device.fn, device.name, device.phys)

dev = InputDevice('/dev/input/event3')

for event in dev.read_loop():
    print(event)

And a sample output of a run of this program is:

    events = _input.device_read_many(self.fd)

So what might be the problem?

I guess I found the problem: the power going to my Raspberry Pi was insufficient. It was giving power warning at the corner of the screen. I plugged another power supply, both the warning disappeared and the touch controller started to work without giving any errors.
