Overview
There are currently two controller boards and several scanner builds available.
I am constantly working on new variations and if you need any custom solution or additional functionality, please let me know.
Scanner
scan volume: 18x18x18cm
compatible with arduino shield and pi shield
DSLR, Smartphone and Raspberry Pi Camera support
several modifications available (size, design ...)
aimed at tinkerers
currently under development!
compatible with pi shield
Raspberry Pi Camera only
aim: easy to use scanner
--> "one-click-solution"
Controller
compatible with all recent Raspberry Pis and various scanner builds
support various camera types
Browser-based User Interface
growing number of features
a lot of potential :)
compatible with Arduino Nano
supports various cameras via external trigger
basic two axis stepper controller with camera trigger and ringlight connector
