Cool project!
One question: Wouldn't it have been easier to use a line scan camera and tether line aquisition to the belt's movement by attaching a rotary encoder which output would trigger individual line scans? That's the standard solution in the industry.
- jacquesm 9y agoLine scan cameras and (good) encoders are expensive, I figured I'd try to do it with an absolute minimum in terms of fancy hardware. That sort of constraint also helps to boost creativity :)
- datenwolf 9y agoAs a tinkerer let me tell you, that, had I been confronted with the problem, would probably have taken apart one of the old Logitech Scanman handheld scanners still collecting dust in my attic. A little bit of mechanical modification should do the trick. These are essentially line scan cameras and they come with a high resolution rotary encoder.
