[QUOTE="Nena, post: 366734, member: 7861"] Hi Thomas, Looks nice! Also need to program such. I have 2 3d scanners from Optimet laying around, they are normaly used for scanning teeth for a dentist. Didnt try those but these are old but useble. Only i need to figure out the drivers how they work so need to get a winxp pc and try the test software i have got from Optimet mayby i can hack the bus driver and figure out how i can measure under the micron. Those have a parallel port connection so it shouldnt be that hard to hack the communication :D But still! I like what you did but why not your own 3d software?! I've written something like gemcad but on a website :D also can import cad files if i want to or export G-code. I also did a huge amount of 3d work on a standard diamond cut and did find the calculations for setting up a diamond. That was a good lerning project but not an easy one. If i get the scanner working i can use it to measure out the stone and the lap but the thirst thing i want is to get the basics working. Then ill go on with the scanners and the auto lap/stone changer. By the way i program in #C and Perl with MySQL as Database the output graphical with SVG (2d) and OpenGL for the 3d. Also C code for the chip programming. Greets, Christian [/QUOTE]
