Principle of operation

The Opto-interrupter must be closed / interrupted manually by a piece inserted in the slot!

  • Analog inputs are initially driven HIGH to simulate cold Fuser thermistors.
  • The opto output is driven LOW to simulate an open (unblocked) interrupter.
  • When backward motor movement is detected, the opto output is released to simulate a closed (blocked) interrupter.
  • When the triac (originally used to switch the fuser heating lamp) is activated: • Digital lines are driven HIGH to simulate a hot Fuser. • Analog lines are switched back to input mode.
  • If no triac activation occurs for 60 seconds, the system resets to the cold Fuser thermistors simulation.

Sample Arduino 1.89 IDE plots

The plots are created with the Arduino 1.x Serial Plotter. The Arduino 2.x Serial Plotter is not as powerful and uses a different data format.
