That's kinda cool, I have theorized about doing the same for some of the riduculusly cheap lexmark printers (~$25 at a Target or Wal-mart) That would give you a motor or 2 with a stablizing frame, and a quite precise linear encoder (1400dpi if memory serves), (altough the absolute accuracy would be much less) think legs and balancing..... Or a simple milling machine....

I do plan parallel-only capability. Some of the newer MFPs with compact flash drives and ethernet and whatnot are arch-arm, not Coldfire (ish -- no MCFSIM, custom IO ASIC.) So it'll be a while before I get around to those. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
