Weekend physical computing DIY: Strip an inkjet printer for parts:
Old: When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
New: When you have a micro-controller, everything looks like parts.
inkjet printers being a common item on my local FreeCycle list, perhaps I should start breaking them for salvage and resale.
This came in over the transom today.
I couldn’t find any information beyond their name so I have edited that out.
But just as a point of order, the internets are not a private place. Comments left on weblogs are public in most cases, and this is no exception. Be discreet.
And why someone would contact someone from a link found here (that had no email address) when Google coughed up many others that were much more complete is a mystery.

But in this case, I think we can make an exception. This one is best left to the grown-ups, ie, anyone else but the folks who got us here.
