I'd like to say it worked first time, but then I'd have no explanation for staying up until 4AM soldering...
First all-up test of the new feed auto start/stop circuit with the rest of the machine actually connected was successful though 😅 #meccano#hellschreiber
and works just the same for messages sent from the keyboard too 😁
This is by far the best I've ever had the printer working. I cut a new print screw and re-designed the tape path slightly the other day.
The Meccano Hellschreiber is suddenly getting a load of interest again, which reminds me that I still haven't done a proper write up sorry!
Someone uploaded a little bit of video of it in operation at the show though: https://youtu.be/7IEC_TuKrok?feature=shared&t=572
