[Homebrew_PCBs] DLP mcu simplification

2010-05-18 by Mark Lerman

For anyone who is intimidated by the microcontroller board or just 
not in a mood to build one, I believe I can simplify it quite a bit. 
You can probably even do without it by using the original sensors to 
read slots in the carrier, but as a better and easier compromise I 
think you can use a simple 8 pin micro with minimal other components 
(a diode and a bypass cap) to control the printer. When I get a few 
minutes I'll give it a try.

Assuming this works, I'd like to offer a little board with the mcu 
already programmed to anyone who would like to give DLP a try. The 
cost will be minimal, should be under $5 USD. I only ask that you 
refrain from asking for one till you have purchased a printer and are 
serious about the project.

Mark
