Oh you bet i'll have a camera at hand when trying "unortodox" stuff :D
But as i said its not just about extruding, its abot being able to control other things, say for example if you have someting with a constant precise uncontrolable speed, or things that dont have a speed like the light painting example above, wich would just be an on/ off led
Just to clear things out a bit, for plain 3d printing i can and will use a stepper motor for the extruder, but my ideea is to use this platform for other stuff.
I might just try hooking the direction pin to an oscilloscope to see how the signal looks , but i will have to wait for an osciloscope to arive :P
