This is what you get when you try to do two completely unrelated things at the same time. Total confusion. When I still had a TV a couple of years ago, I once "lost" the remote. I found it in the freezer. Yes I was eating ice cream before. This time I ended up in the bathroom and noticed something of importance was missing and had somehow escaped from the grip of my hand.

Good printer!

The "local brain" is hidden under the black goop. When I have time I'll have to hook up my scope to the various contacts on the right side. I hope it is something common like power + SPI. It's bad enough that my scope doesn't have decoders built in. Maybe it's time to get a SALEAE . Not cheap, but it runs on linux as far as I can tell ;-) So far I've identified the following ones: top/bottom: common potential for the "top row of fingers". This is explained in one of the other images.

The black line is where the heat is created. When zooming in it looks like many inter-meshing fingers. The top row of fingers are all on the same potential, while the bottom fingers represent individual pixels. I assume that the black stuff is conductive and gets heated up if a pixel is active.

The black line to the left is where the action is.
