ScanComponentsPCB

Welcome to ScanComponentsPCB Pages.

What is ScanComponentsPCB ?

ScanComponentsPCB is a software available on Linux 32-bit/64-bit or Windows 32-bit/64-bit (it is also available on MacOS and Android ) programmed with Processing in Java, which can detect possible missing components on a electronic card. The project consists of a software part and hardware part.

Software part contains a database in which there is all the coordinates of components of the electronic card in millimeter. The mechanical/hardware part includes SolidWorks plans for the construction of the test-bed, which can be made with wood and used magnets for adjusting the webcam.

a exemple of test-bed prototype:

If you're wish using the ScanComponentsPCB for Mac, simply export the ScanComponentsPCB.pde file which Processing for Mac. If you're wish using the ScanComponentsPCB for Android, please refer to this Web page: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android.

SmoothieBoard ( the electronic card use for test the project)

SmoothieBoard is an Open Source Hardware CNC controller board based on the LPC 1769 or LPC1768 Cortex-M3 chip. It is intended to run the Smoothie modular firmware ( GPL too ), and is targeted at 3D Printers, Laser cutters, CNC Mills, Pick and place and other small-sized CNC machines. Larger machines can be driven using the bare version and external drivers. Sources : http://smoothieware.org/smoothieboard.

Detection of missing components

ScanComponentsPCB use the opencv for Processing library for detect missing components :

One click on a missing component in the drop down list permit to access open a web page, where you can buy the missing component.
