FANSASTIC!!!!!!!!!

I am a art student and musician loving concrete music pierre shaeffer and all sorts of sound experiments.

I see a few cards behind the printer : Arduino??

Would this work with a modern printer?

If not what is the reference of that printer?

Extrodinary work...

[littlescale]

Hi there, yes it is Arduino based and uses a BAS120 printer module to make it easy to communicate with the printer. i believe that there are *some* more modern inkjet printers that would support this device, im not sure though.

[BenignaViesner]

may i ask....how do you do this?

im really interested. is this something like pd plus Arduino interface?

thank you

[ozyran]
