Abstract
A method of one embodiment includes generating, by a touch-sensing device, a first signal comprising information identifying a first electrode line of an electrode array of the touch-sensing device, the first signal having a first strength. The first electrode sends the first signal to a stylus, which receives the first signal, the first signal having a received strength. The stylus sends a second signal comprising information based on the received first signal, and the touch-sensing device receives the second signal. A position of the stylus is determined based at least in part on the information identifying the first electrode line and the received strength of the first signal.
