One of the exhibitors showed of his automated Photogrammetry capturing system, the OpenScan. For Photogrammetry you need a lot of pictures to get accurate results which can be tedious, the OpenScan dose that for you. The creator gave us a custom PCB and some conectors which are also available on his website or can be downloaded for free since it is completely Opensource. The OpenScan uses 2 standard NEMA 17 stepper motors (which [Ciaran] kindly donated) to rotate the object you want to scan in front of you camera and. The board also has got an output to automatically trigger the camera.

All the parts have been printed and the components are all connected to the PCB thanks to Henrik. "All" that's left to do is assemble the frame, do the wiring and flash the firmware on the board.
