Les - I received my USB microscope (Andonstar) - MUCH better picture for your software to work with, but still no go. As you thought, it will need some tuning yet.
Just curious, were you able to acquire a ESS board? If needed, I would be happy to "donate" to your R&D. (Maybe a trade for a license someday)

Could you give this a try. Unzip the contants of the attachment into c:\Mach3\PluginIns, overwriting the existing copy of the plugin.

"It's Alive!!" - Honestly, I was a little worried that you wouldn't be able to interface with the newer "ethernet" system, but you managed to figure out how. Now I just need to do more "tuning" on my end to get better quality scans. (lighting, possibly paint the edges of my parts to get better contrast)
I did notice that the display says "mm" although I have Mach running in "inches". Let me know if you need more testing.

Currently the outlines are optimised to give reasonably smooth results while still maintaining accuracy. It would be possible to make this adjustable so you can increase the segment size. I'll see what I can do for the next release.Did a few more scans and it seems to be working pretty good. Just curious, would it be possible to incorporate a sort of "minimum segment size" when it outputs the DXF?
