I spend most of this past week trying to debug the macOS scanner API. We found out that mac has a different framework, meaning we would have to edit the project configuration file (or choose between one of two files) when executing the C# file based on the user’s operating system. There are other issue with mac still that we haven’t been able to work out. I also printed an adapter for the stepper motor to connect to the suction cup, and Theo is in the process if fitting and and possibly making some adjustments. Lastly, I designed the test object.
Next week I hope to finish debugging the mac scanner API so we can run tests with Sophia’s software interfacing with Theo’s hardware. If we’re able to do that we’ll have some images which we can feed into my normal map computation. I also hope to 3D print the test object I designed and scan it using one of the benchmark 3D scanners we picked out.
