Re: Hacking the Xaar 128 printhead

Hello, guys, I managed to reduce the CLK signal to 1MHz by increasing "OCR1A = 11; //7;" from 7 to 11. When I look at SCK, the frequency is much higher than 1.4 MHz. Is that admissible? TCCR1A = _BV (COM1A0); // toggle OC1A on compare match OCR1A = 11; //7; // top value for counter OCR1A =...

Re: Hacking the Xaar 128 printhead

Hello, guys,
My print head is still doing the same nonsense.
Today I finally had the opportunity to attach an oscilloscope to the CLK signal.
The signal has 1.4MHz, I guess this is a source of error.
Tomorrow I'd like to start a new experiment with a different frequency.
regards
Philipp

Re: Hacking the Xaar 128 printhead

Hello, I have now observed my error many program cycles. Sometimes the upper half of the nozzles work, sometimes all nozzles work and then again only the lower half of the nozzles. And sometimes no nozzles work. I can hear well whether the piezzos are working or not. I have the impression as if the ...

When measuring the pinout I noticed that the signals MISO and READY are...

Hi Guys,
Is there more experience with water?
The data sheets of XAAR are unfortunately contradictory.
Many Thanks

Re: Hacking the HP45

Hello dragonator, I got today the first drops from the printhead, thanks to the support of my friend. We have built an adapter board, with which we can put the teensy directly on to the printhead controller. The board also has a voltage regulator for the power supply of the Teensys. So it is very co...

Re: Hacking the HP45

Hello Dragonator, I am just stuck at put the system into operation. I'm still waiting for the production of an adapter board that connects the teensy to the controller board. The orientation of the pogopins to the print head is very difficult. I also designed a template for the pogo contacts. Howeve...

Re: Hacking the HP45

Hello,
After what they wrote to me was to realize that they had no idea of the electronics, the figure in the alibaba display seems to be only an example for Pogopins.
Best wishes

Re: Hacking the HP45

Happy New Year to all of you, I tried to contact the chinese provider, which unfortunately failed. They did not understand my questions regarding the function of the components or the connections. Communication was near impossible. Therefore, I have removed from this solution. It is easier to get in...
