This is an early pre release of the sweep-3d-scanner software package. The attached binary is a complete RaspberryPi image which can be unzipped and flashed to an SD card using etcher. Please see instructions.
NOTE: The software is still under heavy development, and should not be considered stable. This release has many known issues and bugs. Please read about them. Familiarize yourself with the known issues and then keep an eye out for odd behavior when using the scanner.
- rPi image is now setup to test the IMU. See #20

- Cancel a scan in progress
- Redirect to the 3D scanner home page before shutting down or rebooting Pi. Avoids accidentally repeating the action from a stored route left in the url field. Thanks to @drcpattison
- Improved logging info when killing scans
- Avoids trying to kill a process that has already exited
- Reduces angular distortions resulting from 2D scans failing to validate
- Releasing the motor now works, both when running from component_testing page or when cleaning up after a failed scan
- Scan index is properly incremented. Relates to many issues including distorted scans, infinite scan phase and progress bar exceeding 100%. See #31
