Today, it was all up to programming our printer.
We thought a little break on the construction would give us some inspiration on how to overcome some problemes we're facing for the moment.
So all Labview it was, and it went quite a lot better than we had planned.
To start with, we tried to program our pin to write only when necessary and without any errors, it worked from the first time, quite a surprise!
Next was combining this pin with the movement of our printer and the turning of the paper. Here we discovered some diffeculties which we will have to resolve in the next days. As we couldn't directly find a way to toggle a boolean ( which we need to chance the direction of our printing rail ), we've only managed to make the colour sensor read one line of our paper in combination with printing it down again.
So this brings us up to this and next week challenge, which is almost completely finishing our project by finetuning all the motors to the correct distance, completing the code and troubleshoot some hidden traps.
