DIY Book Scanner

Hi! See jbaiters last comment on this page for a simple ubuntu installation (did not work 100% for me as there were still some dependencies issues): https://github.com/DIYBookScanner/spreads/issues/126 also for a installation from scratch on ubuntu see: https://github.com/OliPelz/spreads-ubuntu-trus...

It is stated that this bug has been fixed a while ago (0.4), maybe its introduced back in 0.5. I think I get in touch with the author.

another question.

I saw in your inital bill that you had a 30 watt LED on it, in the instructables you say 20 watt.

Is 20 watt sufficient or is it the more the better? I can order 20, 30 or 50 watt on ebay.

Hey David,

I am just finishing my work on the scanner. What I dont fully understand is how the light is attached. Do you got an recent picture of your instructables scanner showing how the light is attached to the frame?

Hi David, Thank you so much for your hard work on this really nice plastic tubing scanner! I have just started building my own. It was a bit hard for me to get those plastic tubings here in Germany, this is not available in my local hardware store ;). Just a quick note on the latest instructable ver...
