Looks very good so far. Can you post the complete output of the Bootloader file here. You can use the following command. cat bloader.hex

I need more logging here. This log snippet is too short.

Hi Willie, First of all, welcome back. This was reported by a couple of users and is already on the todo list for the upcoming bugfix release ( plan...

Sorry my spanish is very basic. What are you trying to do? Do you want to build the packages by yourself, because you need some modifications on the c...

try to run it with sudo avrdude -c pi_isp -p m328p -e -U flash:w:bloader.hex:i -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m -U hfuse:w:0xD6:m -U efuse:w:0x05:m -U lock:w:0x0F:m

Yes. Thank you for the hint. I updated the links in the post.

Das stimmt. Ich werde die Doku noch einmal überprüfen.

Läuft der Scanner jetzt ?

Seems to be a problem with serial connection to the Pi HAT. Try the following:

Ich habe aus der alten Doku den Punkt zum flashen noch mal überarbeitet und in die F.A.Q unter Hardware hinzugefügt.

I have added a new topic to the hardware F.A.Q. I hope this helps you. If it works, please prevent this issue by using the new image version. Because...

Das ist auch eine alter Firmware. Was du flashen musst ist auf jeden Fall erst mal der bootloader. Die Firmware wird dann vom FabScanPi Server automat...

Kannst du mal den Bootloader flashen und die neue Release (v.0.8.0) testen. Damit sollte der Fehler eigentlich behoben sein.

Problem gelöst?

Der ist ungefähr da ? Eine seht gute Idee. Eigentlich bin ich kein Fan davon Bilder von Sachen zu veröffentlichen die unfertig sind. Aber da du das ...

Ganz klar die normale Kamera also mit IR Filter. Denn bei der NoIR funktionieren sicher die Algorithmen der Software nicht. Tatsächlich habe ich auch ...

Danke für die Rückmeldung. Ich wollte gerade danach schauen. So ist natürlich besser.

You are right this looks like a connection error. Have you tried to use a previous version of the FabScanPi software since you have purchased the kit?...

Hallo Ralf, die log Ausgabe lässt mich vermuten dass es ein Serielles Verbindungsproblem zum HAT gibt. Die Software versucht die neueste Software zu ...

That is correct. The switch is optional and that is why you need to bridge the connector. See "Connecting the Lasers" in documentation. I think in you...

@danilo0702 Sehr geil. Kannst du vielleicht noch ein paar Bilder von den fertigen Meshes zeigen? Ich habe inzwischen die Doku etwas aufgearbeitet: E...

@shengchu Have you bridged the connectors (security switch) in the middle of the laser connection screw terminal? Otherwise the laser is not powered. ...

You should go from source. Go to e.g. /home/pi and checkout the current source to this location. git clone/pre>Then stop the running FabScanPi Server...

@shengchu Sorry for the late response, you should solder the regulator on the HAT. But if you think about using the Raspberry Pi 4 you need to add a s...

The kit is delivered with a 1 mW laser, because a lot of schools asked for a 1 mW laser instead of 5 mW (safety precautions). But a 5 mW will also be...

Hallo, ein genaues Datum kann ich leider zur Zeit noch nicht nennen. Ich weiss aber dass das Release überfällig ist :( Aber es gibt tatsächlich eine ...

Hi, How do you want to perform a scan? How should the cameras be aligned? Keep in mind that metallic parts are hard to scan because of their shiny s...

Closed because of double post:

Or just as @danilo0702 suggested increase the amount of steps for turntable. Just double it. But keep in mind that will not increase the scan quality.

Do you want to rotate two times, because you expect better scan results? If so i can say that you will get the same pointcloud twice. If you need it f...
