What is the name of your new part? The parts list is the same in both pictures. Are you accidentally importing a drawing into an existing part instead of creating a new part? Djreiswig - you may be right. Perhaps he mistakenly clicked on "Import drawing" instead of "New part". T...

The new version I'm working on automatically detects if the camera is rotated 180 degrees and compensates. Les - that will be a great improvement and convenience. There is one other feature I would like to see, which would be more of a convenience for testing. That would be a resettable timer that ...

This is the camera I ordered from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R4CLRQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this is the LED ring from Amazon that I am using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZRJQ177/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have d...

Here are several videos I took. I do normally look at the Mask view when calibrating and adjusting the levels, but I enjoy watching the Original Image when scanning. I still have the same problems as before when tracing/scanning the shiny wrenches. Perhaps this is due to reflections from the wrench ...

Those jagged edges look like camera movement to me. How solid is your mount? Another possibility is a timing issue with the ESS communication. I am working on a version of Scanything that is easier to transfer to different controls. Mach4 is on the to-do list. I don't know if Centroid have a facili...

Hi Les, Thanks for your response. I'm happy to hear that the camera target circles "bouncing" is a normal phenomena, and not a result of my using the ESS instead of the parallel port. I do have one other question with regards to the camera/tracer "accuracy". I will illustrate thi...

Hi Les,
I did just purchase a license for Scanything from your website. I think your program will be a great addition to my CAD/CAM arsenal.
Thanks,

This is my camera/ring lamp setup. 20200306_004306_resized.jpg 20200306_004119_resized.jpg After I scanned the open end wrench, I used Vectric Aspire to do some "node editing" to clean it up. Then I offset the outline of the wrench to the outside to create a slightly larger copy. This will...

I scanned an open end wrench (shown in the last video). Here is what the resulting dxf file opened in PlasmaCAM Design Edge. 20200306_004633_resized.jpg Here is what the rabbit dxf file looked like after scanning. I could run the cut path, cut, and it would look pretty much like the original. 202003...

Hi Les, I think I've got the new camera and led lamp ring working pretty well. It now seems to calibrate much easier and faster, and tracks pretty well once I get the settings right for a particular situation. I have experimented with the camera adjustable aperture. It seems to work best with it adj...

Hi Les, Thanks for your reply. The new camera I ordered should be here tomorrow. I will report back when I get it running and let you know how it works out. My question on the feedback loop is this: since the ESS ethernet connection may be causing some latency (compared to a parallel port connection...

I noticed the camera in the Arclight Dynamics auto tracer demo video seems to be a lot closer to the table compared to the distance I was using. Does this make a difference as long as the camera is in focus. Also the Arclight Dynamics camera does not seem to have any internal light source, or maybe ...

Les,
Will the camera with fixed exposure help with the calibration (as opposed to the camera with variable exposure)?
Thanks,
David
