Hi folks,

I've just put some photos up of The Probe robot that I mentioned earlier.
It moves along three orthogonal axes and pokes at an object to find out
its shape.  The contour data is logged and transmitted to a NetWinder for
plotting.  Photos are at:

Okay it's a bit slow, it took 3 hours to scan the Thunderbirds model on a
2mm grid.  Maybe next I'll build a laser stripe scanner.  :)

Enjoy,

- Ben.

(...) RCXLOG is one of the tools that belong to the NQCC compiler, and they are supported in a bunch on platforms. Check out the Dave Baum WEB site: (URL) Martins [lau@mail.telepac.pt] [(URL) (26 years ago, 12-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
