Re: Simple, easy to build, ~600pg/hr, very portable scanner

Thank you for your interest my scanner design. You said: My reference is the 16 Apr 2017 version 004 pdf manual for the v.2.1 scanner, downloaded from here. In this manual, I've seen that on-going discussion on the scanner could be found on the site http://po.st/tiflicbookscanner, but it's not activ...

Re: Original ~600pg/hr, very portable scanner now achieving ~900pg-1100pg/hr

Do you think a hinge would help? I mean add a hinge to the right hand side of the glass and a base board, so you can easily lift the glass and put it down again without it moving out of position. If the camera arm was mounted to the same base board it would automatically position the book in the ri...

Thanks I noticed the thread has some discussion on post-processing output from a single-camera setup, which answers a lot of my questions about how that would work. I created some software that's post...

Re: Original ~600pg/hr, very portable scanner now achieving ~900pg-1100pg/hr

Those of you who have followed the evolution of my scanner may recall the original version, before I started using a smart-phone camera, used Daniel Reetz' bike bike brake idea to trigger the shutter of the small point-and-shoot camera I used.
