Okay, I already have TeamViewer installed and tried it for scanning some weeks ago but I wasn’t happy with the resolution on my phone as the buttons were displayed way to small
I’ve bought an electric turntable via Amazon but this is way to small for my concern as it only has a diameter of 30 cm. Furthermore it’s very complicated to scan myself and sit in front of the pc to start the scanning process in the same time
That’s why I’m thinking about creating something bigger and automated on my own.
Thanks for the link. I’ll definitely take look into your work!
you know you can resize the screen size to have bigger buttons ? in real time , use tablet or bigger phone no matter what you do there will be always small screen on small phone , but 2 fingers and you can zoom as much you can …
I do not scanned myself this way , but if you build something bigger , it need to be smart, remember the head size is not the size of the shoulders , so this need to be sophisticated , talk to @Miamijerry , he made super automatic scan station . You will find the thread in the forum somewhere , I have no link under my hand right now , but maybe Gerald stopping by …
I like to see what guys build in the forum here, but personally I prefer my manual scanning workflow and avoid magic buttons as it is boring . I love the challenge … but that is my own personal way and since there are many ways to reach the top, everyone should find own that suit them best .
Sure do I know that I can resize the screen by zooming in and out but I thought there would be an easier way to get a better view
Maybe I have to buy me a tablet for this!
I want to build something smart. It should be able to rotate around the scanned object and also being able to detect the distance to the object. It then should be able to move towards or away from the object if the scanner is to far away or to near. At the moment it’s just an idea and I’ll have to figure out how to realize it
While directly connected to your computer, set the scanner to Host mode (only works for POP 2 and Mini, not the original POP) and either accept or modify the default password.
With the scanner connected to external power and POST completed, use your new WiFi adapter to connect to the scanner’s WiFi port (its first characters will be “POP” or “MINI”). Enter the correct password and you should be good to go.
If you have the original POP, configure your new WiFi adapter as a Hotspot (the directions for doing that should be with your device). Verify the POP’s WiFi configuration while directly connected to your computer, then either use the default name and password or configure it as you prefer.
No, I don’t use or want to use a WiFi card or adapter. My PC is connected via LAN.
Well yes, but I also don’t want to waive my wired internet connection to achieve this and this will happen when I connect a WiFi adapter to my PC.
Maybe I have to clarify something as it seems that everyone is misunderstanding what my suggestion was supposed to:
I don’t asked Revopoint to build a standard WiFi adapter with which I can get wireless access to a router. It’s more an USB dongle which is restricted to connect only to Revopoint hardware and nothing else. With this dongle the user doesn’t have to set up anything. Just plug in the dongle to the computer, then a driver should be downloaded and installed automatically and voila… you can use the scanner wirelessly on the device.
However, another thing I would like to know from you regarding your tipp to set the scanner as client and then connect it to the router: Does my PC needs to be connected via WiFi to the router to be able detect the scanner or does this also work if my PC has a wired connection to the router?
PC can use Wi-Fi and Ethernet simultaneously if the network settings on the computer are configured to prioritize both connections equally and are set to not disconnect from either connection when the other connection is established.
I have set up like that , so when I set WiFi on it do not disconnects LAN … try that
You can also set Mobile Hotspot on your PC and connect POP2 as client , theoretically it should not disturb the LAN connection .
It’s been a long time since I’ve tried it and in that time I had problems to get both working at the same time. Unfortunately, I can’t find my WiFi adapter otherwise I would test if it works now.
Okay, I was able to change the SSID of my router. I deleted the space letters and now the full SSID was displayed in Revo Scan. However, the POP2 still didn’t got recognized by Revo Scan but this maybe happens because the router is to far away and the repeater in my room lost connection to the network because of changing the SSID.
So Revopoint has to improve the scanners WiFi to be able to read SSIDs with space letters at least.
My suggestion to do this is just a quick test, so plug the POP2 into a power pack and walk it over to the router to see if it connects to Revo Scan running on your phone or on your computer (do NOT try both at the same time).
If it connects, then we know that the problem is the included {space} characters in the router’s name in addition to its password that are causing problems.
If it doesn’t, then we should start looking at another solution.
But this is a problem anyways. So maybe we should petition Revopoint first to fix this issue before doing other steps. When the POP2 is able to read SSIDs with space letters and it still doesn’t connect to Revo Scan we then can try to find out why.
I disagree on the order that things should be done.
With very little effort (changing your home router’s ID and password), you can determine exactly where your problem lies. If that solves your problem, then a slightly-higher effort (re-configuring the other client devices on your home router will get everything up and running.
Or you can wait weeks, months or ??? to have this (admittedly annoying) oversight corrected in the scanner’s firmware and, even then, we still don’t know if that will fix your problem. That is why you should run the test now.
That’s to much effort required from me or anyone else. No customer should’ve to change his environment just because a single device isn’t able to fit in. It’s more in Revopoint’s responsibility to adjust the scanners firmware for better accessibility.
I can’t imagine fixing this issue will take that long but this maybe depends on the feedback of the customers. I guess that if everyone or at least the most customers are willing to change their environment to be able to use the device then the developers don’t see the need to submit improvements.
This will at least fix the problem that the scanner isn’t able to read my router’s name.
We do not know if this is the reason you are not connecting. It might be the included {space} characters, but it might also be that you might be too far away for the WiFi circuitry in your scanner to connect reliably.
Temporarily changing the router’s name and password is a simple, easy test to see if you can get your scanner working in your preferred work location. You can also try setting it up in the same room as your router to see if it’s the other problem.
Asking people to rework a system for a ‘problem’ that are aren’t sure is the problem is (possibly) a waste of time.
I do have a repeater in my room, so there shouldn’t be issues regarding WiFi quality. But just to your satisfaction, I will now do another test but this time I will also pair the repeater to the new SSID. Maybe you are then finally ready to support me in the petition on this matter. I’ll post an update ASAP!
But they don’t have to rework their system! They only have to modify the scanners config file or so, so that it’s also able to read SSIDs with space letters or maybe they should think about my suggestion regarding the restricted USB dongle for Revopoint hardware. The latter definitely will be the best solution for all!
no matter what you do there will be always small screen on small phone , but 2 fingers and you can zoom as much you can …
