[sm3600-devel] Out for a Smoko

[Marian E. <eic...@co...>]

Hi!

Say, would You mind to test the SANE backend with Your favourite tools?

It *is* alpha, but it already does a great job for me.

Especially I am interested, if the building instructions are ok.

Of course, Glenn, if You like to include the Kernel driver interface, I
will be pleased. We should integrate the write memory call ASAP, because
we need it for the Gamma magic (and some other magic :-) ) Or You want
to play a bit with the motor control, because I don't completely
understand the details (like torque control and so on).

In the meantime, I will relax a bit, because I feel still overworked,
and that's not good for new ideas.

Perhaps we can collect some ideas for features or so in the meantime.

Especially I would like a new - faster - DoOriginate algorithm, because
I am not very happy with the original one. The fixed stepping size is
bad, if the slider is somewhere at the bottom of the bed. Some ideas:

1 - Scan only one line at once.
2 - With "full black lines" step back with large steps (approx. 1 cm or
so)
3 - With "full gray" lines step back at "fre mm." rates
4 - With "any hole" step back with "max 1 mm" rates
5 - Dont jump forward that far on startup (the DoJog(200) is a hack, not
more).
