Abstract
A stylus device is disclosed that is capable of changing its output so that it can communicate and function with a multitude of touch controllers of a computing device. In an aspect, the stylus device receives a message including the configuration information from the computing device. The configuration information may include an encoding scheme corresponding to a format for encoding data to be sent to the computing device and an operating frequency. The stylus configures itself in the encoding scheme, and communicates with the computing device using the encoding scheme. For example, the stylus device may encode data using the encoding scheme and send the data at the operating frequency.
