Alright then. I am going to keep this one short since this approach was unsuccessful unfortunately. I'm still learning. A bit by bit but still, nonetheless.... Manually programming each and every bit with the correct timings in between can be a bit tedious. Take that from me. Having no success in th...

Ok. Next update. Throw away old assumptions. First off, there is no ink monitoring present on the cartridge whatsoever. Remember this old image ? https://i.imgur.com/XRLDQIa.png Well, I took precautions. But there is still ALLOT of noise present in here. Where? Well... https://i.imgur.com/ulFdzQ8.pn...

Hello again. I had put the project aside for some months and restarted it again. Some more findings to share if anyone is interested. First thing I did was dissasemble my sacrificial printhead to see what makes it tick. The flexible contacts : https://i.imgur.com/y3UZOGp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VOd8...

So instead of ordering and having 90 pcbs, (could fit 9 on each pcb) I opted to shar...

I fixed the images. Gonna start using imgur from this point on. Regarding the cartridge. I started off with these because they are cheap and refillable. (after drilling a hole) And if it starts failing you can just buy a new one. Depending on the cartridge it can hold between 16 and 19 ml of ink. No...

Hello. Thank you for approving this thread. Appreciate it ;) Now, apparently I figured out I'm a bit of a klutz. I already thought the signals going to the printhead didn't make much sense. Alot of noise and muddy waters to go through so to speak. Today I figured out why. I grounded the logic analyz...

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting here, but I thought I'd share my progress if anyone is interested. So I'm currently trying to get a PG40 cartridge to print. Some interesting specifications of the cartridge: 320 nozzles in two parallel lines. Slightly offset to each other. 30 picoliter ...
