General Mach Discussion / Re: Controlling Mach with Powerpoint? Is this possible?
« on: May 17, 2011, 01:04:27 AM »
Most interesting idea.
Powerpoint can be event driven so the whole thing could be under Mach control including exposure timing Z movement etc. This could also be achieved, equally as well, using a simple PIC Microprocessor.
No doubt you have carried out preliminary experiments but I think you will be hard pressed to get enough UV from a viewing screen to actually expose UV curable resins but what do I know, I have never actually tried it.
Please keep us posted on you progress with this great project.
Tweakie.
