I USE FREEWARE CALLED INKSCAPE TO HELP CREATE FILES AND CONVERT CLIPART INTO VECTOR BASED FILES SO THE CUTTER CAN CUT THEM. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT SOMEONE IS STILL READING THIS! I MYSELF DO NOT OWN THE CRICUT, BUT A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE DOES, AS I STATED EARLIER, I OWN THE CRAFT ROBO. since you could just reprogram it with the original. If it is indeed a jtag interface you would be able to send test firmware builds to the machine without worrying too much about messing it up. Once that is done, either a new firmware could be developed or you could determine if the existing firmware supports commands being sent via the usb port. I can't imagine that reverse-engineering the firmware would be too difficult (disclaimer: I have no basis for that comment ). It would be nice to be able to get a memory dump of the firmware of this machine. If that is the case it would make sense that it is just a jtag interface. Judging by the faq's on cricuts website they are saying that this usb port is for troubleshooting/upgrading machines. Have you tried downloading the software from atmel yet to see if you can interface with it via the usb interface? As you can see this device uses the same chip to convert usb-serial as the cricut. I think the cricut usb interface is a built in version of the USB JTAG interface. Here is an idea (haven't confirmed it yet). ![]()
