Hi Richard,
<BR>
I have been thinking along those same lines but for a different application.
<BR>
I was hoping to use a USB scanner I bought. I did some tests and the scanner
<BR>
outsmarted me... the firmware and cpu inside the scanner do a calibration
<BR>
when the scanner initializes and it had better find the stripped target on
<BR>
the inside of the case or it gives up. Once the init is done, I actually
<BR>
removed the case and let the scanner scan through the air... actually took a
<BR>
picture of myself sort of like staring into a zerox machine. I am still
<BR>
looking for a nice dumb scanner that has no smarts in the scanner box and
<BR>
does all the control from the linux driver.... that way I can do whatever
<BR>
calibration or init is required for my app. There have been a few dumb
<BR>
scanners that have had linux drivers written for them, but I think most of
<BR>
them are parallel port. The pp has some rather short limitations on cabling
<BR>
that caused my application some concern.
<BR>
I would like to hear from some of the driver writers that have done a driver
<BR>
where all the smarts had to be in the driver. What models of scanners are
<BR>
like this and how much do they cost.... all I want are the guts and a source
<BR>
code driver to modify.

Subject: &quot;customised&quot; scanner query
<BR>
<P><P><EM>&gt; Hi all,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I have an application that is somewhat unusual and I'd be interested in
</EM><BR>
hearing
<BR>
<EM>&gt; peoples opinion. The application uses an XY table and the aim is to
</EM><BR>
capture a
<BR>
<EM>&gt; large image of the work area using a scanner. The option I'm thinking
</EM><BR>
about is
<BR>
<EM>&gt; to use the head and electronics from a standard desktop unit and use the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; XY stage to move it around rather than the inbuilt motors and belts. This
</EM><BR>
is
<BR>
<EM>&gt; likely to require some significant reworking of the sane back end to
</EM><BR>
provide
<BR>
<EM>&gt; links with the xy stage software. Does anyone have any alternative
</EM><BR>
suggestions
<BR>
<EM>&gt; that might be worth checking out. Does anyone know where scanner internals
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; might be available from in smallish numbers? Are there products better
</EM><BR>
suited
<BR>
<EM>&gt; to this kind of work. (I'd like to avoid conventional industrial linescan
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; cameras for cost reasons)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; All advice is welcome
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Thanks.
</EM><BR>
