I've tried to program the st28 couple of years
ago, from the datasheets, but didn't manage to
implement the motor slope tables correctly.
Using the following slope table element produced
completely untangible (so, unusable) "steps": {
3500, 2000, 512, 1.0, },. Worse, after several
runs with such settings the driving assembly
jammed or something, and only comparatively
recently did I guess that scanner can be opened
and the belt sort of jiggled out of jam.
Here in this list the method advised for the new
device driver writers is to usb-trace the
commands given by the windows driver to the
scanner. Stef, the premier expert on GL84* based
devices, has written a bunch of awk scripts to
process such trace results. Search the archive
for 'stef' and 'scripts' attachment.
