Fastest Copy Machine

    Hi everyone,

     

    this is my Copy Machine which uses PSTN to achieve a speed of 3 frames per line!

    I give credit to Alec_the_Martin for the basic idea, the super fast mechanism is my work.

     

     

    I have tried my very best to come up with a version that runs at 2 frames per line but it turned out as IMPOSSIBLE! (with the current coding of brown BRAY)

     

    Maybe one of you, my fellow brothers and sisters, has a brilliant idea to make it even faster.

    Please let me know if you do.

     

    ... and if one of you could come up with a better picture this thing can copy, that'd be great ;)

    I know how to make it two frames, you are oh so close on the idea.  Just think a little bit more and you'll get it. (At least I think so, I don't have time to test a prototype right now)

    I've got the top part to work but the part that is supposed to create the vertical line to stop the bray just can't keep up with 2 frames per line.

    I know i said it in the save, but I really think splitting up the picture will make it better. If you could make some 3 or 4 frame/line scanner that's smaller than the one here, then you could put a few of them together next to each other and each one can scan a portion of the image. Just put them all together at the end and it would be complete. The only way I can think of moving an image would be to draw it in filt so the machine can fill in the empty spots for transport. I can work on one right now if you want to see wht I'm picturing. Like cracjer64 said, it could possibly do more than 1 line per frame on average.

    Corrected two frame version.  Enjoy

     

    In fact, using the same principles this uses, a one frame per line is perfectly possible, I'll modify and post results. (without CRAY, just a horrible mess of timing issues which so far I can work around)

    That's genius!!! I haven't even thought about fring the blue and brown bray at the same time. I'm about to give your modification the final touch and then update the current copy machine. Thank you very much! ;)

     

    Alright the update is published. I'll now try the
