<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">Hello, I am trying to find out if this is possible before I dive into
programming this. I would like to use an old scanner in a robotics
project. Instead of tearing it apart and using my own stepper
controller it would be nice to use SANE to control the stepper
controller built into the scanner. So is it possible to get to a low
enough level with SANE to move the scanner head to a specific position
and then have it stop there. Then move it to another position and stop
there? <br><br>I was hoping that I could use the SANE API's to control the scanner head movement and then the code would work for several different scanners. If SANE's API's are too high level to do this does anyone know if this would be possible with TWAIN or any other similiar API? <br><br>I think worst case scenario I will have to target a specific scanner and then look for any reverse engineering information on the Web or get usbsnoop and try to reverse it myself. I would prefer to avoid this and be able to go the easy route. I would like to do this in a manner that other people can benefit from this as well.<br><br>Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.<br><br>Sincerely,<br> Jack Gassett<div><br></div></div></body></html>
