Fantastic work Philo!
I'm so envious. I work daily with 3D coordinate measuring machines (CMM) of
all kinds (http://www.hexagonmetrology.com/se), and my secret dream for many
years has been to build one with LEGO. I've never managed to construct a
reliable probe, though - it has to react in 3 dimensions, not just one like
yours. But your machine is a giant step on the way to a LEGO CMM - actually,
it's more or less exactly constructed like a 'roundness checker'.
Oh, how I wish I had all the parts to build your scanner! But I'm trundling
along with the old Dacta interface 70909 and a programming environment of my
own (http://web.telia.com/~u16122508/dacta/) and I *will* get it to work
some day :-) There are more than enough inputs and outputs, it's just the
sampling rate that's a bit low.
I will take a good look at your probe solution, and try to get new ideas
from it.
Once again: Fantastic work!
