Download

PandaInk runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. No installation required.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• Bluetooth LE adapter (built-in or USB dongle)
• A supported Wacom SmartPad device (Bamboo Spark, Slate, or Folio)

Option 1 — Portable EXE

The easiest way to run PandaInk. Download a single self-contained executable — no Python, no dependencies, no install.

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning the first time you run an unsigned executable downloaded from the internet. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed. The source code is fully open on GitHub for review.

Option 2 — Installer

Installs PandaInk to Program Files, creates a Start Menu shortcut, and includes an uninstaller. Recommended if you prefer a traditional setup experience.

Option 3 — Run from source

Requires Python 3.10 or later and a working Bluetooth LE stack on Windows.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/danielemarsico/pandaink.git
   cd pandaink

2. (Recommended) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Launch the GUI:

   python src/tuhi_gui.py

For the command-line interface, run python src/tuhi_cli.py --help instead.
