My sister has a quilting sewing machine. It has an optional system to keep the stitch lengths the same no matter the speed or direction that the quilter moves the fabric. http://ift.tt/1LVQ2uW
Input is via a wireless infrared mouse held to the fabric. The 'receiver' also gets some input from the foot pedal, then communicates to the computer on board the machine proper.
The card in the receiver has a couple of burned parts where the magic smoke was released. This high tech stuff doesn't run right when it gets low on smoke. Overall the card is mostly empty space, Arduinos look more complex.
Jacks are all like on the back of a PC- USB, PS1 like used to be on mice and keyboards, 9-pin that I think preceded the PS thing. 3 idiot lights/LEDs. And 12vdc jack for the wall wart.
No service for it anywhere, need to replace the whole kit. $800-1200. I'm thinking a $3.45, delivered, Arduino from Hing Kong sounds better.
Is it doable for a guy that can replace the caps in his monitor? Or would there be too much programming goobbledygook? I'm sure the program onboard the sewing machine is proprietary, or would it be understandable, C++ or such?
