Would the touchscreen signals on the motherboard connector allow for a pressure/tilt-sensitive stylus?

This panel isn’t a touchscreen, but we have the necessary signals on the connector on the Mainboard to enable one in the future.

Would those signals be able to support something like an S-pen, Apple Pencil, or Surface Pen? My guess is “we don’t know yet”, but would anyone with any technical expertise who might know what those connectors/signals are be able to shed some light on this?

there are signals defined for both USB 2.0 and I2C touchscreens.

Support for active pressure / tilt styluses should be up to the touchscreen used.

Also, some styluses communicate pressure just over bluetooth. Those could work with regular touchscreens, without built-in active stylus support.
