  10. Need Help Network chip Roland VP540

    so, you think a little more wouldn't help? my point was, sometimes just running the machine with the cover removed kept the machine cool enough that the problem never reappeared. (or at least not for quite a while). not a perfect answer, but, sometimes a holding action is the best you can do

  19. Optiscout camera not outputting video

    after watching an optiscout demo video, it seems to me you could substitute almost any color ccd with cs mount lens. they don't seem to be doing anything really proprietary. ok, there is always the possibility the calibration process could drive you to the brink of madness, but, like root...
