The Fax Machine FAX 1.0 - fluffy406 - 04-08-2015
I made this faxmachine
it can receive papers over serial (and hopefully work over intOREnet)
I used dylanrussels "fastest serial" which has 2 serial IN ports
the transmitter for the fax is in dev and I may have to make a computer designed to make papers and transmit them
over serial and into the fax machine
the clock sends a pulse every 4 seconds which pulls releases the sand so it can go on the tray (as pictured) (can adjust clock if intOREnet is gonna be slow)
the sand is used as the paper and the gravel is used as ink,
a fax transmits 1 row of the page and so then the pistons will activate and will push the gravel into the send and then the sand falls onto a row of string which breaks it.
when the sand & gravel reaches the end of the tray it stops.
FAX 1.0
has no CPU
because I dunno how to program them
I guess I could make the tray wider...
THAT WILL BE IN FAX 1.1

Dylan's serial is easy to convert between the serial I will be using. Instead of using a second initiate wire for extra speed, I use a lead bit. It only takes one more tick, and you need half as many wires. iirc Dylan's serial is 1 tick per bit which is the same as intOREnet's serial. I would be happy to help you build this but I cannot for the next few months.
An 8 (or 16) wide tray would work well for intOREnet. An 8 wide tray means that each packet can send 4 lines, whereas 16 wide means each packet can send 2 lines.
