Hi Joe and Kit

I have been working on automating the positioning of the sensor to the wire.
To do that it really needs a micro to do the hardware housekeeping, control step motors and limits etc. It also removes the need to lug a PC around.

A mate tried running the cam software on a laptop that runs Debian Linux. It Ran!
He is also into Rasberry PI micros. as said that the software should be fairly easy to port over to a PI. Best a PI 4 for speed. it may be slower than a PC that has to be tested.

I am going to order one and we will try it.

To automate the software will it to address some output registers to hold the current position of the wire or laser relative to the centre point of the camera sensor.

The more I work on this project the more excited I get. Great work Joe.

Regards
John
