FabScanPi 0.6.0 release. (2018-11-25)

This release mainly fixes a lot of bugs and the Tornado Framework is introduced. This brings more stability to the webserver part. The whole webserver code was refactored. Since AVRDude was upgraded in Raspbian stretch, version 0.5.0 does not work anymore. The AVRDude bug was responsible for serial connection and firmware flashing problems (it is not a bootloader problem as described in the F.A.Q).

Changelog for this version:

  • refactored webserver backend code
  • introduced Tornado web framework
  • fixed calibration non blocking bug.
  • fixed flushing camera buffer
  • fixed camera settings
  • better camera stream performance (nearby live now)
  • fixed gap at the beginning/end of a scan
  • added swapping support for high res scans
  • fixed avrdude bug
  • fixed stepper missing steps bug (aka stepper wobble)
  • added new version of frontend with some fixes

FabScanPi 0.5.0 release. (2018-04-04)

The new release brings a better camera performance and also the USB cam module back. We switched to a newer version of OpenCV which leads also to a better performance and a more stable calibration process.

Changelog for this version:

  • fixed pykka aktor threading bug in streams
  • fixed bug realated to 400 step motors
  • replaced magic numbers by config values (tnx to jwalt)
  • fixed typo in documentation (tnx to kradrat)
  • new documentation parts (tnx to jens hackel)
  • fixed green cam bug
  • added deleting old calibration data before new calibration
  • refactored camera driver ( much faster than before )
  • added abort sequence when scanner is not calibrated
  • added new handlers for gracefull application shutdown
  • fixed start stop init script and added better logging to it

FabScanPi 0.4.3 and updated documentation. (2017-07-26)

First of all i would like to thank all FabScanPi builders/users/community members for reporting bugs and sharing experiences. Special thanks goes to Jens Hackel for his awesome job on writing most of the FabScanPi documentation.

Some users mentioned problems with FabScanPi HAT serial connection. We added a troubleshooting guide to the F.A.Q section of the documentation.

Changelog for this version:

  • Auto-calibration values are saved and available after a reboot.
  • Meshing was refactored.
  • Meshing filters are reduced to two basic filters to prevent confusion
  • Added new output formats to meshing. Available formats are ply, stl, obj, off, xyz, x3d, 3ds now.
