Hi..
I am looking for a name to give to GPL open source software i wrote.
See screenshots below.
Maybe someone here can come up with a suitable name for it ?
Preferably a short name. (better for use inside the source code.)
And a name which gives none or a few hits on google.
Which makes it easier to find info on it for users.
The software does this:
Take a analogue micrometer.
Aim a webcam at the micrometer.
Then start my program.
The prog takes a picture of the micrometer with the webcam.
The prog finds the position of the needle on the micrometer.
And displays the found value on screen.
And puts the found value in a chart.
Currently the prog can take 4 pictures per second on my slow celeron 700 mhz computer.
This is 4 x 3600 = 14400 measurements in one hour :-)
Can you beat this by eye and hand ?? :-)))
All nicely stored in a chart in a image file.
You can move the micrometer over a surface with a servo motor.
Gathering lots of data, while you are sitting back and are smiling :-)
A screen shot of the prog with an example.
The example question is how much does this axis wobble ?
The point of the micrometer is put on the 10 mm axis of a servo motor.
The axis slowly makes several turns.
Mean while the prog reads the micrometer 4 times per second.
The result shows the axis wobbles about 20 micrometer.
The resulting png file with the measured data.
Hopefully someone can come up with a nice name.
Thanks
Vroemm.
