Printer Partout #3 - Yet Another One

Yes, I have yet another printer part out. It was in the "Take a part, leave a part" pile at my maker space so I decided to take a part and restock their hot glue supply in return. I really only needed the scanner light, but I wanted to save everybody the trouble. Basically, this is a very similar printer to the one I last parted out, but this one has wireless capabilities. So we're going to take it apart and see what's running it. Everyone else can have the neat stuff like the motors and whatnot. I don't care about that bit. I just want to see the cool stuff.

Reusing a VCR Remote

They don't make things like they used to anymore. Technology has certainly advanced, but things just don't last long because they're cheaper to make than to make well. That's why it's so much fun to work with old devices. They're durable and they're simple. I'm going to work with a VCR remote with a jog wheel on it in order to make a sort of handheld video editing control board for some of the programs I use. It's time to get in over my head with USB HID devices!
