It works perfectly, with transmissive encoders. I had two problems: reflective sensors and a mandatory 75lpi pitch. I tried laser-printing but I couldn't find a laser with a fine enough dot-pitch to not alias at 75lpi, and the sensor was equally blind to white and black. It needs shiny. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
