3D Scanner Software - Freelss - Using Raspberry Pi

The 3-D scanner I am building will use a Raspberry Pi running Freelss open source software. I am currently installing all the dependencies and the other pieces of small software such as Raspicam etc, in preparation for installing the Freelss software itself.

When running the 3-D scanner will connect wirelessly to a laptop over the local wi-Fi network and be controlled from the laptop and the 3-D models can then be saved.

I will Post about the next stage in the 3-D scanner build next week.

3D Scanner Assembly

I have started assembling the 3-D Scanner, with help from my younger brother, as it turned out to be a four hand job. 
The 3-D Printed parts were assembled using machine
screws and nuts
The fully assembled turntable arm. The stepper motor can be seen at the top
with its cables running down the arm to where the camera tower will be attached.
The next stage is to build the camera tower which supports the Raspberry Pi, the two Lasers, and the camera.
