ah, the Opteron may not be as fast, but it does have a
multiply and accumulate instruction
, as does the Pentium series starting with the MMX extensions.
doesn't seem to be as productive as just working at any job available.
I was fortunate enough to lose a good job a few years ago. I got to blow my savings on trips, beer, and parties while doing occasional contract or academic work for a few years.
Quit whining, enjoy the ride.
Of course there is the obvious Designjet . But that isn't as fun as putting a scope on the lines to an inkjet head to get an idea of what it takes to make dots. Another idea might be to use an old dot matrix head. Or like the spray paint can printer, but use an airbrush head for finer dots. As far as the programming, once the image is in a bitmap, it would be straightforward to loop through the pixels while stepping the motors.
This project sounds like fun, let me know if you happen to be in the Atlanta area.
I don't know about any other model, but my '98 (post OBD-II) prelude is quite happy to flash out diagnostic codes when the "Service Check Connector" is jumpered properly. As always, RTFM
