Thanks Drew! Very helpful. One followup. Should digitalGain be a constant default value if using analogGain or should it mirror the analogGain settings?

Davis, Appologies for the late reply, this got marked and left on read. The card needs multiple angles to determine the floor with any resonable accuracy as you noted, so not possible with the...
Hi Rob,They are proportionally mapped. The API gives raw values that come from the hardware driver on the camera itself, which we decided wasn't a friendly scale, so we mapped them to more resonabl...
Quests are ALWAYS interesting! LOL! I was perplexed as I examined the THREE scans of the 3D printed ring I am using for testing and saw the surprising "ERRORS" between the peaks. This streak...
I am starting development using the API and the approach I am using is to perform an action using the Browser UI and seeing if I can replicate the results using the API. As I peel back ...
I should have pointed out that my test "ring" features 25 'facets'. This weird number was purposely chosen to make the math of selecting scan counts and angles more difficult. I spent s...
I can only say that with my limited tests on a very small object (20mm diameter) using 3d printed reference object, alignment has not been an issue of any import. The auto align with the THRE...
@Trevor Townsend We talk here about manual movement which cannot be compared with 2-axis jewelery scanner where axis positions are optically calibrated by plate. That such 2-axis 3d scanner does no...
@Christian Gassner It is not correct to say that "using marker with global marker registration is the much more precise and more professional setup for scanning jewlery". Marker registration is a t...
It dawns on me that having the reference objects side mounted might run afoul of depth of field issues. To test this theory when I get a chance to scan again, I have redesigned the reference ...
Thanks, Christian. I have made a few changes including making the anchors horizontal and refining the artificial reference points to be less intrusive. I have not had time to test it yet.&nb...
+1 Making some part of the SW open could allow user to get marker support, HDR and 2-axis rotary support. 3d scanning market is getting more and more competition with falling prices and having ope...
This is really great stuff and i am doing something similar with 3d laser scanner. However i believe using marker with global marker registration is the much more precise and more professional set...
I have finally gotten around to the point where I could confidently run a realistic test of a concept for a rig that would hold a ring for both spraying and scanning where the entire ring is able t...
Sorry for the slow progress. I am designing the tool with education in mind, providing for different students to see 3D scanning as a process and providing multiple oppotuninties for individu...
Drew,Thank you, this helps a lot. We are currently trying to use the camera without the turntable, so I'll just leave the camera at factory defaults for now. My only remaining question would b...
Hi Davis,Can you share your code for getting a calibration working with me? I might be able to help debug what's going on. Just to give you some confidence in the machine, the API's are all the sam...
In educating any students; but, in particular, at-risk students, projects that promote critical thinking skills are highly desired. From personal experience, teaching hundreds of at-risk cade...
Thanks, Drew.So all of the calibration-related tasks in the API are strictly for calibrating the turntable? I tried using them but wasn't able to get any of them to work, but I'm relatively new to ...
Hi Davis, The scanner is factory calibrated, and works with a wide array of objects without recalibration. The calibration card that comes with the unit is used to calibrate the turntable and it's...
