Hi everyone
Another new professional update for my modified version of FlexScan3D!!!


Hardware Triggering and synchronization is now available in my
modified version of FlexScan3D

!
This feature is an advanced option that is only available on the expensive professional SLS scanners, and no DIY 3D scanner kit has this feature until now.
Hardware triggering is a method to synchronize 'the cameras, the software and the projector' and control them in a
close loop system.
by using hardware triggering we can reach extremely high capturing rate (about 0.2~0.3 seconds per scan).
And due to stable illumination and capturing condition in particular short time intervals, the scans
quality will be so better, the edges will be sharper and cameras will be less sensitive to ambient light and noises.
By hardware triggering you
don't have limitation about any cameras exposure time, you can select any value and it is not important to have any considerations about projector frequency. The synchronization circuit will cover all of these shortcomings.
Also by Hardware triggering, with some few certain considerations it is possible to
use lower resolution projectors and receive the same scan quality of the high resolution projectors. can anyone guess any reason for this? As a guide, I mentioned the reason in above lines of my post
This update is available for all cameras, including Dshow cameras, Basler cameras and FLIR cameras. But your cameras must have I/O connector.

Fortunately most of industrial cameras have I/O port, but if your cameras don't have I/O port, don't worry, I have some other solutions to bypass this problem too!
This update is a part of the goal of my SLS project, a professional DIY hand held scanner
