does anyone have one of these badges or know how to order more?
I'd love to get 1 or 2 of these paper tape reader convention-badges: https://hackaday.com/2019/04/12/cyphercon-badge-has-a-paper-tape-reader-buil... Does anyone have one, or know how to order more? Please tell me! thanks -- jeff jonas

I have one and the actual paper tape punch used for this at the con. The organizer of Cyphercon, Korgo/Michael Goetzman would be the one to see if any extras might exist for purchase. I do warn you they aren't exactly cheap if any would be available. The badges themselves were made by the tymkrs (https://tymkrs.com/) who do some really neat stuff in addition to badges like this.
Jeff, Looks like it would be a pain for a long tape. You would have to clamp it in a vice or something. I built a pull through reader with just a photo-transistor array pulling down a Arduino's internal pull-up resistor. I ordered one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RICOH-DENSHI-2400-2-PTR-240-05-CNC-EDM-2400-2-TAPE-... They require 24 VDC for the stepping motor and 5 VDC for the logic. It seems to have the same 50 pin connector as the pinch roller unit that I hacked earlier (same as SCSI). If so all I have to find is the Run/Stop and the Direction signals. The pinch roller had a switch for Run/Stop so I did not have to find that Duane On 5/1/2019 11:16 PM, Jeffrey Jonas via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I've interested in this arduino project. I just order the reader. Thanks -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

Oy! This has some nice 20W + 40W resistors on it. So I'm guessing this requires a decent power supply. BTW, nice unit, decent weight.

6 wire motor, guessing it's a stepper motor. 40 pin IDE, not sure of the interface but the main CPU is an 8748 CPU (EPROM based CPU). I'll figure out the input/output later.
If so all I have to find is the Run/Stop and the Direction signals.

Now I'm really interested in your project. Did you bypass the 8748 and drop the Arduino in it's place? I think this is tonight's CDL teardown and photograph project. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
