Use of Calibration Cone and Test Cubic The calibration cone is derived from what is used on the Sardauscan scanner. I find that it provides a better base to rest on the turntable and expect it perhaps...

Hello, I think we need to clarify what I met to say. The distance between the plane of the camera trace for the same points on the object when scanned by laser0 and laser1 should be the same and if ...

@pigmlion613 My first thought is that your centering of the camera or lasers may not be quite as accurate as you think they are. The distance between the lasers to the camera may be different. Check...

@pigmlion613 This problem has been documented in the forum before. The short answer is in the default.config.json file reduce the "origin_distance" a small amount in the pattern description. I am sur...

Another thought, If I understand your info when you tried one laser you did not get a trace, if so, how do you know the laser even triggered for each or any position?

@pigmlion613 No I don't know what the height dimension is for. To make sure the stepper driver is set for the proper microstepping an easy way is place a mark on the turntable run a scan function and...

RE: STEPPER MOTOR CONNECTIONS AND SOMETHING TO REPLACE NON AVAILABLE FABSCANPI CONTROL BOARD I'm having much difficulty trying to discover what is being connected to what on your information. Pictures...

Now the fun and guessing begin. I don't know exactly what height dimension does so haven't changed from the 155 given in the example provided in the default.config.json file. Please check the calib...

@pigmlion613 You would probably not have to load the bootloader but if you do it can be loaded from another Arduino UNO thru the ISCP ports with jumpers. Follow the Ciclop instructions completely in ...

@pigmlion613 I am attaching a picture of the controller board I think you are attempting to use. My guess is that there is no connection to control the WS2812 LED. My guess is the 6 pin connector is a...

@wolf2021 the scans and corresponding settings are saved in /home/pi/scans/"date"-"time" folders of the SD card the Raspberry Pi and if you load an existing scan from the browser window, the correspon...

Hello, I have also experienced much the same thing with the version 0.10.0 software and suspect that there are some development bugs in it. In addition to your experience if you run the motor to obse...

I am waiting for Mario to confirm but I thinkthis is as should be. the Laser0 Is on by default at the beginning I'm assuming you are visually observing this and not on the web page of your browser. ...

@zeltrax Hello, I am not familiar with the MobaXterm to be able to advise its use. I have recently built a Ciclop unit from the Thingiverse designs to alleviate boredom and have it working to the po...

@wolf2021 Good morning, I think I will be able to add little more to the discussion so will just observe what progresses. I agree that the ciclop or Fabscanpi' in its present use, can use any of the ...

Good morning: So the major solution to the problem is low tech rather than high. We can have a good laugh about that. I'll only say that in my 85 years, I've had at least 1 or 2 similar situations. ...

@wolf2021 I'm glad the calibration problem is solved. It's also good you had help a little more technical than I could provide. I had the same problem when trying with "interleave': "True" and had t...

Hope you enjoy the recipe-since i have to do my own cooking, looks like I had 2 memory sticks in my computer I looked for the scanned file and didn't check the contents. Darned old man anyhow. Here'...

@wolf2021 Hello: I am attaching a copy of the procedure from the Fabscanpi website which was downloaded perhaps 2 years ago and I have been using it to determine the information to put in the default....

Hello: Looking at your default.config.json file I have an issue with the "columns": 8, . I can't find it in the documentation now, but I think the figure should be 9 for your calibration chart. Also,...

Good morning, Mario, I can provide the same information for operation with the FabscanPi Hat or the Watterott Arduino Hat with a Hat which has the same function as the Zum Hat on the Arduino Uno R3 ...

@wolf2021 Good morning, Since this post shows out of sequence but is dated Dec. 15, are you indeed rested and willing to try again? If you are, I/we need to determine some information such as what e...

ok I can understand wanting to let it rest for a bit. I think when you do decide to try again, we will need to have a greater understanding of your equipment although I think you have the led light ...

THE Laser0 has given me problems at times. I suggest a reboot. After boot up the web page does not come on util the LED flashes at which time Laser0 comes on as the web page appears. It takes about...

From a non-expert, here are my thoughts: I have no luck using the "interleaved": "True", (i don"t know what to expect, what i get is no trace of action on the screen during the scan. If I remember ...

Attachment : UnoR3-ZumHat_Ciclop_12-04-2021.zip Here is the zipped file I hope.

The Scan Board Laser V1.0 does not appear to have a LDR connector cluster, only the LSCD connector same as the Arduino UNO R3. To have something interesting to do I have used the Thingiverse Ciclop t...

Since you have mentioned you are using an uno arduion board are you using the fabscanpi hat provided as part of the kit aor are you trying to use an arduino uno R3? The arduino R3 will require a hat ...

@saar96 This shifting of display axis has happened for me but a reboot seems to solve that problem. Unless you have changed the configuration file since your lastest info displayed, it is important t...

Attachment : image.png I suspect that pins MS1 and MS2 have not been programmed for 1/16 microstepping. There are solder pads on the Hat which allow you to bridge (connect) the pins to either gro...

Going by your description(of course a picture would be better). The TMC2100 is the default driver for the Hat. I think that with the TMC2209 driver an additional st of connections must be made. With ...

I'm happy it is working for you. Now that you have some success and some exposure to everything it would be a good time to review the documentation, the FAQ's and the forum subjects. To answer your...

With my small amount of experience here are my suggestions. It looks like your may be getting a lot of what I call bloom (at least a cloud of light scatter). I Recommend trying a simple object first ...

An additional thought-at 200 in place of the 3200 in the default.config.json file I would expect 25 scans at the lowest resolution and if the rotation of the turntable is 360 degrees (one turn) there ...

Here is what I think I know on the subject. The stepper controller board is normally set for 16 microsteps. Hence 3200 trigger pulses per 1 rotation of 1.8 degree 200 step motor. The present software...

Here is a screenshot of the browser connected to the Pi with a non-functioning hat.

Ok, I'll give you my thoughts based upon what I think I know and what I've learned by reading forum discussions. Since I've had an amateur radio license for 65 years and have built a few things, I kn...

You can control the Pi with a monitor and keyboard attached to the Pi, recommended until you get everything working. After you have established a connection through your wifi router and have an IP ad...

I am finally checking the forum. Does this problem still exist. If so , please tell me what you have as far as the equipment. Did you buy the complete kit from Watterott with the Raspberry Pi 3 B. ...

Addendum to the above: Of course a keyboard must also be attached to the Pi. After you have verified that you have a wlan0 IP address, edit the default.config.json file and type "sudo apt-get update...

Glad it worked for you, I have missed rebooting at least a time or two myself. If you are using server 0.9.2 and firmware v. 20200624 the only thing I can offer is in either ssh/putty or a hdmi monit...

I suspect that a reboot may not have been performed after the editing of the default.config.json file. That would be my first conclusion. If a reboot doesn't solve it, it is difficult to determine th...

If you look at the raspberry pi board it will show a green led if it is powered. I highly recommend that you connect the hdmi output to a monitor/tv during this initial phase. The sd card is actuall...

I apologize for being late in any response. Where do you find the time. I am in agreement with mcinerey that the highest resolution scans are not saved to /home/pi/scans on the sd card. Lesser reso...
