Ok, basically I've looked all over the internet and I've been at a loss for any kind of useful information.
The project:
I need to be able to build a linear CCD camera array and be able to use it like a document scanner you'd find at any best buy. We're scanning massive documents though and we need things at true 1200-5000 dpi.
Essentially, I have no idea where to start. I need to be linking 4 or 20 or 50 together in an array, depending on the ccds . . .
This is all from scratch, I'll need to build the array, mount it to a step motor and be able to actually scan something with software thats already out there, or that will have to be created.
Any advice or tips you guys could give me would help immensely, as I'm completely lost.
Thanks much.
