#198769
HI All,
I would like to build a 3D dot printer which will allow me to print dots on a plan surface.
Motor:
X: this motor will move the X axis of the stage.
Y:wo motors will move the y axis.
Z1: will hold the main printer head and move the head up and down
4th: will hold the ink holding syringe. and push the ink down.

I need a dispenser (amplifier) for the syringe to form the droplet of ink. which needs to connect to the arduino. this requires 3v to control board and Drive and 5v control amplifier .
I am using Arduino mega and rump 1.4

my question is: 1. how can I connect the the amplifier to the Arduino mega and rump 1.4.
2. how can I turn off/on for each dot.
how can I get G-code for the whole setup.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks
Apu
