@ wayoutwest: If you take a closer look into TinyG, what makes it so much better than other stepper driver boards is the control strategy which kind of "looks into the future" that is into a buffered set of XYZA movements and tries to control the involved axes at their best. That only work...

Visionbot is aiming at a ~3000-4000 euro price-point which is ok. But is as far as i can see not open source and the mechanics are kinda fiddly. This seems a nice middle way which can be done for about 1000-1500 euro. That guy is a young science project competition winner from Romania. And he expre...

Did you attach the spring?

Ok from the mechanical standpoint. But after calibrating the needle height I would prefer the think in "distance from the table".

Either I did not set the right values or my USB cam does not react.

How are the parameters for exposure ? Because Brightness just make the image gray / dimm.

Trying to test Z axis preset value like table, PCB, Focus I came to the question why the LitePlacer homes Z at the top most position and not at the table level? As most Z measures are relative to the table e.g. PCB Height = Table height(0) + PCB Thickness, Tape Pickup height = Table Height(0) + Tape...

Using a vacuum feedback is certainly the best approach. But I hesitate to alter the TinyG hard- and firmware as Reza did. Using arduinos of all sizes I tend to add an arduino micro/nano to fullfill this and some more tasks, like switching the LEDs and also the pump and solenoid. The pump workaround ...

In many occassions the image ist zoomed. So using a higher res cam could give an improved zoom result. But due to the fact that the zoom is not done by the camera but is applied to the full scale image by software. The image processing load rises by the product delta of the X Y image pixel count. If...

I had difficulties to get the up cam needle recognition work properly. My image looked similar to Juhas image in his instructions. http://www.liteplacer.com/setup-uplooking-camera-processing/ The black needle shade was more a medium gray than a dark or black gray. With the result that the surface wa...

Rezas SVN solution contains an Aforge Directshow project.
Although the VS dependencies between that project and the liteplacer project are set I had to build this project manually. (Don't forget a Clean before issuing a rebuild)
Then the liteplacer project could be built without errors.
