This may bit a bit faffy. Wondering if we can just get the main code to talk yo two printers at once via two serial ports. Thoughts?

amcewen commented 8 years ago

That should be pretty easy to do. I've got a 5m USB extension cable I can bring if that will let us site one of the printers in a more interesting position

GemmaMayLatham commented 8 years ago

Great! Can you test with your printer and mine when ross has picked it up? I have a second printer with me if we need that.

amcewen commented 8 years ago

Yep, will do. Haven't got our printer up and running yet but will look at it after lunch

amcewen commented 8 years ago

The printer works. And it's got a paper cutter! Next step is hooking it up to @GemmaMayLatham's Processing code...

GemmaMayLatham commented 8 years ago

Yay!...and ooooh a cutter. Perhaps would be good to use that one for the printouts to follow for stitching so people can take their own easily

Version checked in with commit https://github.com/cheapjack/Co-Tidal/commit/3463a9f86f95392a703425e1a0dd1ce3b10f247c has both a cutting command and controls a second printer also plugged in via USB.
