Pete, The Merlin Bench program was designed by National Semiconductor (LM9830 chip manufacturer) to aid in experimenting and designing with the LM9830. It is ...
Thank you Gene. It first sounded like you wrote the Merlin software. Now that I understand what its purpose is, I can start experimenting. At this point I...
Hi All Several people have now built scanners using the Mk 3 system and the design has stabilised to the point where it's fit for wider scrutiny. I've...
It seems that there hasn't been much talk about using reflected light for scanning the rolls. I have the Rollscan-1 board and the LM9830 is a perfect match...
Hello all, I have just torn open an old HP Scanjet 4 to try the "Frankenstein Scanner" idea that Gene Gerety wrote about in RollScan-1 AN-001. This scanner has...
... Wes, I have a ScanJet 4p still doing yeoman service as a document scanner. A while back I tried lifting a book several inches above the plate glass,...
I have just sent a LARGE amount of LM9830 source code to a few selected people from the Rollscanners group who will be able to make good use of it, and who...
Dear Mr Gerety As the person who, over the years, has given you more public and financial support than probably any other group member towards the development...
Richard, OF COURSE! All you had to do was ask. Your support has been greatly appreciated. I sent you a copy by private e-mail. Regards, Gene PS to Group:...
Hi Julie and all, The software I refered to has been available for many months. 12-21-01 is the date on my ZIP file that was downloaded. It only contains...

Hi Gene and Group, I want to give an update as to where I am at connecting the Rollscan-1 board up to my PC. One question to the group: has anyone else been...
Following Richard's observations a few weeks ago, I disassembled a spare optical mouse and found it to contain the same H2000 IC he referred to. In my...

Dear all: After reading of the latest progress in adapting the optical mouse to the job of position encoder (which I had suggested in Post #39, Feb. 28, 2001),...
Hello Folks, I certainly don't want to suggest that what I'm doing has anywhere near the experience behind it that Richard's mouse method does, but I'm ...
Bob ... Post #39, Feb. 28, 2001) You made the mistake of listening to those who told you it wouldn't work. If I'd done that throughout this project, there...
Julie's research into suitable front glass for the array is extremely welcome. This is a boring but important issue which affects us all we would be greatly...
... Hi Richard, The other interesting benefit of getting the full mouse input directly from the proper port, is that I get both the X and Y movement readings. ...
Dear All: Another bit of manufacturer's data on the Agilent optical mouse chip. It turns out that they make a Developer's Kit which has the hardware to make 5...
