Now the last part of the tutorial on “How to build a Ciclop 3D scanner”, in the previous articles we have build the components and assembly they, now we start calibration and testing.

Ciclop 3D scanner testing and calibration

Testing the PCB

First we are going to test the PCB created in the previous articles.

Here the new board active and mounted.

You can order the PCB at PCBWay for few dollars here

Testing the board v1.0 v1.2 with a simple sketch

First I test all without camera, and It’s work well.

You can use this sketch to check laser and stepper.

#include "Arduino.h"

#define STEPPER 9
#define STEPPER_STEP 12

#define STEPPER_MICROSENCOND (unsigned long)80000*8

void setup()
{

	Serial.begin(9600);
	pinMode(STEPPER, OUTPUT);
	digitalWrite(STEPPER, LOW);
	Serial.println("LASER 1 ON");
	pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
	digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
	Serial.println("LASER 2 ON");
	pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
	digitalWrite(3, HIGH);

	Serial.println("START STEPPER ON LOOP");

}

void loop()
{
	  digitalWrite(STEPPER_STEP, HIGH);
	  delayMicroseconds(STEPPER_MICROSENCOND);
	  digitalWrite(STEPPER_STEP, LOW);
	  delayMicroseconds(STEPPER_MICROSENCOND);
}
