I've taken a slightly different path with the Ciclop. I like the mechanical design very much, but I didn't want to use an Arduino and tether it to a computer. At about the same time it was being announced, there was a Kickstarter launched for the ATLAS 3D scanner: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-build-yourse It was quite successful. The ATLAS uses FreeLSS software running on a Raspberry Pi, with the Pi camera and a simple driver board to control the stepper and lasers (similar to the ZUM board). But I didn't like the ATLAS mechanical design at all; too much reliance on printed parts, a flimsy turntable, and frankly it isn't very attractive. So I decided to combine the Ciclop physical parts and the ATLAS electronics with FreeLSS. I've been documenting the build here: http://bill-owens.blogspot.com/2015/...ng-piclop.html The scanner is now working, and producing recognizable scans, but it still needs calibration and probably some tweaking. I had to redesign the camera and laser holders to suit the Pi and the focusable lasers I bought (they're 12 mm diameter rather than the 8 mm that Ciclop uses), and to change the positioning of the lasers relative to the camera. Those parts aren't in a final form yet, particularly the camera holder, but I'm going to post them on Thingiverse if people want to try them out.
