[sane-devel] Backend for plustek Opticbook 3600

[Chris Berry]

Ok thanks stef, i've been experimenting a little with the logs, there 
was a small error/issue with the parse1.awk script you sent me. I don't 
know if you have encountered this but around line 113 there is an if 
statement along the lines of:

if ($5 == "0x0000002]")

this fails because of what I suspect is an end of line character in $5, 
so i replaced it with:

if (index($5, "0x0000002]") > 0) endpoint = "BULK_OUT"

and so on for the following values. I'm not very good with awk so I 
don't know if this is the best way of fixing this but it works for now.

After some playing I think I have the CCD settings right and the motor 
seems to be working so I havent really changed that much. I also think 
the GPIO settings are right which leads me to believe the DAC is the 
main issue at the moment.

 From my understanding the front end is accessed through registers 
0x51(address), 0x3a and 0x3b (values) but im not sure how this 
translates to the settings in genesys_devices.c:

   {DAC_PLUSTEK_3600,{0x00, 0x3d, 0x08, 0x00}
    , {0x00, 0x00, 0x00}
    , {0xe1, 0xe1, 0xe1}
    , {0x93, 0x93, 0x93}
    , {0x00, 0x19, 0x06}
    }

Now I think the first 4 values correspond to addresses 0x00 - 0x03 of 
the DAC, but the following arrays are a bit of a mystery to me. I have 
had a look at the log from run-genesys and it seems that they are trying 
to set many DAC registers but the Snoop reveals that only fe_writes to 
addresses 0x00 - 0x07 are made.

As when I try a scan everything (aside from the light not being on) 
seems to be reasonable but results in a garbled image I think it might 
just be a case of getting the light on and setting up the DAC properly. 
If you could help me understand the DAC settings I might be able to 
investigate the matter further.

Thanks

Chris
