Re: Libreflip - a new open source page-turning bookscanner

Are the scanner's cameras capable of capturing images at this point? Yes and no. In Episode 24, they worked already, but more software development introduced a Bug, which is why currently they dont work. The Bug will be fixed, but the lovely Programmer is currently rather busy and does not have muc...

I will continue to work on Libreflip two or three evenings per week, as I have a full-time job and can't invest more time in Libreflip (although I would love to!) I am not very far away from finishing the machine, but no one knows what will break next...
