Hi Dave,
>Do you plan to publish a detailed description of the whole design


>(FPGA code and schematics) .....

I can provide binary fpga codes but not the source code since it can be
easily used in commercial applications without any indication of the
origin.  I'll provide schematics to create a base for discussions.
There are multiple ways to implement it and I don't want to bias any
other creative methods. For example with new 200 MHz cores I think one can
directly interface inkjet head to micro without any timing issue (needs
to be calculated).  I was thinking to commercialize it but for
a commercial product I need to use inkjet head from other brands
(Xaar,Spectra,etc..) which are expensive ~$500-$1000.  Another issue I don't have enough time  to make it commercial, I can not do it alone.

Cheers,

Volkan
