Hacking the HP45
Re: Hacking the HP45
Is Primitive side = HP45 side? So pogo pins sticking out of the primitive side?

Re: Hacking the HP45
Address side needs to face the HP45 with the text (and the components) facing away from the printhead. The primitive side is on top of that (with a roughly 5mm spacing) also with the text facing away from the printhead.
Address side has components on only one side so it can be mounted flush against a carrier.

So I got it completely wrong.
Re: Hacking the HP45
@dragonator -could you please take a closeup picture of the assembled controller for reference when you have a chance. I don't want to screw this up.
EDIT:
Ignore it. I found the picture. You have exactly what I need on page 17.

And thank you for sharing! It is extremely useful as there no write-up yet.

Re: Hacking the HP45
The lack of write-up is also bothering me a little bit, but I am absolutely buried in work right now and have most of my little free time on Oasis. Don't expect it for at least a couple more weeks. Around Christmas I have some free time. Around that time I should be able to make the first draft of the write-up.
Re: Hacking the HP45
Don't worry about it that much. I think these photos pretty much explains how to assemble the HP45 controller V1.01. If not we can always ask for additional info. I will definitely have more questions after I assemble one.
Re: Hacking the HP45
Fantastic site, fantastic thread !!!
I wonder how come I didn't found it earlier ! we would have been progressed a lot. I am interested to buid a printer for a flat surface.
I have read the hole thread on fast forward mode. Please excuse me if I will ask things that have been already discussed !
Regarding connector :
Did you had a look on TIJ 2.5 ?
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.asp ... 483ENW.pdf
Looks that C4557-60105 HP5164A Pogo Pin Connectors it's what we need.
I found as well :
http://www.cfconn.com/product-show_14712/
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ ... 31158.html
I would like to help ! what should I do ?
How is the integration with L6452 ? I may help here.
Happy New Year from Bucharest Romania !

Re: Hacking the HP45
Hello and welcome
The connector link has plenty of nice parts, though I wonder if any of it is available to ordinary consumers in normal quantities. I do like that I can see the carrier. I can see if I can replicate it. I am very curious about getting a pen controller (C8855M) in the future. I now have the documentation (sadly I have not been given permission to publish openly , but contact me for a copy) to control it, which gives some really nice details on how the HP45 is supposed to work. I will condense what it says into a few posts later.
The Chinese vendors are really interesting. The pogo pin connectors should be a direct fit to a HP45. The only thing I am really curious about is the function of the additional components on the board.
