https://t.co/5URhdwM1YF @EdwinHwu 教授の論文を見返したら、SonyのOPUの LD部分にはSPIっぽい通信の名前のピンが含まれていた。KES-490Aのピンでも、それっぽい謎のピンが3つあった。このプロトコルを解析しないといけないようだ。 ゲロゲロ・・・難易度爆上がり。 https://t.co/7GAOsX0Zy5
いまはあんまり位置制御の精度がよくないのと、見たいものがデコボコすぎるのもあり、Blu-RayモードよりCDモードの方が焦点深度が大きくて合ってるんじゃないかと思い始めた。 一度読んだ論文だけど、改めて読むといろいろ発見がある。 https://t.co/14iucdpnzd https://t.co/EnMHZOZLKu
