Project: DIY Bookscanner

[B Strand]

I would like to build a DIY Bookscanner (The sort of book scanner that has gotten mention in Wired and bOING bOING) for Jigsaw Renaissance. Who would be interested in helping with this project? We'd need folks with woodworking capabilities, a couple of cheap cameras, and some folks who can parse out both the hardware and software requirements of the book scanner. The budget for this sort of project is around three hundred bucks, so money might be a limiting factor on getting it done in the next month or two, but we could definitely pull this together before the end of the year.

Thanks,

B Strand

I would like to help with this, if only to throw some money at it here
or there (and hopefully be more involved).

I would like to help, and can do some woodworking.  Time is my limiting factor, but if things are scheduled, I will endeavor to schedule it in to mine.

  I'm interested and would like to come to meetings.

  From the images, it looks like this is a perfect candidate for GridBeam, --
  I'd like to see gridbeam used for framing and other structuring, and work out adapters and such as needed so that this can be a gridbeam project.

I'm totally interested in this! I would love to help with software and

Do Saturdays around 2p work for the people interested in this project? I don't want to set up anything formal, but having a concentrated effort often helps for getting things up and going...
