| The gantry waits for the printer, if you look at the other video I start by showing what was the paper feed mechanism. The microcontroller reads the encoder on this and when the time comes runs the stepper motor in sync. The gantry return is done simply by printing a blank page with the direction pin reversed going to the stepper motor drive. The rails I bought from a friend, probably ex-ebay, they are IKO and are very nice! |
