    Howdy all, Been away from the forums for a while. about a thousand years ago I researched going full Linux in my

    shop and was mostly successful except for communicating with the cutter "refine 721". After a hardware issue on the

    Windows box feeding the cutter I decided to search again http://inkcut.sourceforge.net/ I set it up on Ubuntu 10.04

    and was able to cut a path directly through the USB port, something I was never able to get working in Windows even

    with the nifty driver "not a slam on Windows ". Was so excited I needed to pop on and show my first cut :-)

    I am always forgetting what i am doing so have to double check. after tracing bitmap I move the top image down, you will notice while the moved

    image is selected inkscape states that it is the path "bottom panel in inkscape" and is the one you want to save, click the top image and the panel will change to image, you should delete this one.

    Hey all, life has been keeping me busy and i have a lot of catch up reading to do..

      Helped a bunch of guys at work on their go-cart racing helmets and caught the attention of our reclusive

    warehouse troll. turns out he is a hardcore model train nut and is very involved in the local club.

      The club has a graphic of a steam train turning toward  the viewer with the cars banking to the right loosing perspective

    and would be perfect for a table banner but has been photo copied so many times there is no way I could clean it up.

      at this point any nice engine and train would work but not having much luck finding one that would convert well.

    Thanks for any help

    just got the serial cable replaced on my Refine 721 and it is indeed a null modem cable db9 male to female,

    my first trip to the computer store was for a non null and no talky talky  :thumbsup:

        the cable was only $10 but unfortunately there are a thousand other things to impulse buy while I'm there

    Middle of a big job, shut down last night no problems. this morning got the dreaded cannot initialize cutter.

        tried a new cable and i get the loading to cutter and the status bar loading and no error but cutter does not move.

    ran test on cutter and it made a nice little square

    XP PROFESSIONAL

    checked baud 9600

    cutter settings

    refine mh721

    blazer.com3

    direct

    baud 9600

    data bits 8

    parity none

    stop bits 1

    one thing that changed before this error was that i was trying to cut a much longer sign than what i

    have in the past and changed the vinyl size so the cutter would not think i wanted to tile then saved

    the setting and named it test

    any ideas???

      Thanks Chad

    My first hunt was right out of Patrick Mcmanus, Dad looks back at me and gives me the shush and motions me forward, points out a big buck and hands me a cartridge.

        shaking like a leaf I slide it into the rifle and work the lever to charge, try to control my breath and pull up on the deer. did not even feel the kick but the buck went down hard and we tore off through the brush to have a look, half way there the big sucker gets up and powers over a ridge. all I have to show for that day is a big chunk of splintered antler :-)

    In general here in Idaho "special hunts excluded" you can only have one tag per type of big game your hunting, but I can shoot at them all day with my camera. we dont tend to drive the animals but prefer to hike in and find a nice place to sit and wait, it actually is quite amazing how much reach you have with them old muzzle loaders.

      if you have the misfortune of dropping a critter down in a gully miles from the truck you cut it up "quarter" and make many trips.

          I love being out there and hate to miss a hunt but find my blood lust can be sated with the camera these days, been reading to many Buddhist texts in my old age :-)
