Michael,

Good stuff!  I also bought some rolls of calculator paper, but you've
beaten me to it.  I'm planning to use the rotation sensor to graph
arbitrary waveforms along the tape.

Welcome to the list.  The main reason I hang out here is to see what other
people build, so it's always good to see new material.  :)  Nice images
and diagram, btw.

Cheers,

- Ben.

P.S.  You're probably infinging one or more of Symbol's barcode patents.
      Expect litigation.  ;)

I've been lurking in this list for a while and finally built something
worth reporting (although you may disagree!)  It's a "tape drive" that
stores and reads data on adding machine paper.  I finally took some
pictures and posted them so I can take it apart and build something new:

Critique welcome, but be kind since it's my first post.  :)
